I was just thinking about how much fun it was spending summers in Ventnor. I was reminded of how my father would tell me MAB paint stores is named after your friend Margret Anne Bruder. He loved telling me that story. My father George Diemer so admired James Bruder as a family man. I am sure they must have done business due to the fact that my sister and I played with his children. To the entire family I send my dearest condolences. My father passed as well. Hopefully they are on a beach somewhere talking business. May God Bless you all. Thank you for the wonderful childhood memories. Colleen Diemer.

Mr. Bruder was an amazing man. My memories of him and his family in Longport and beyond are some of my greatest childhood memories. I am always grateful to have known Mr. Bruder and Peggy and their children as a child and beyond. One of the most thoughtful and caring families I know! Much Love, Lynne Begier
