We are truly saddened to hear of the loss of your Husband, Father, Grandfather and Great Grandfather.
Our visits all together with him were always so incredibly fun.
We would have to say the gas pump would be our great memory of Kraut.
Our prayers to the family, may your grieving soon turn into the grand memories of your wonderful Kraut!
With Love
Clark and Kim XO
