I have been in the Ehrhart family from age 18 to present. We have had soooo many memories that are always in my heart.
Buzz you always had a smile and a great big Hug when ever we saw each other. I always remember when you played and I sang with you from time to time in the yard or at a family get together at the picnic table just chillin.
Your smile, your hug, your personality, You telling me"I told Jena probably 100 times to say hi frm you.' Yes Jena told me everytime
Your smile,your calm voice, your love for Michelle and Christopher will never be forgotten
Always , always in my heart, my Thoughts and mind.
May you and David not get in to munch trouble in heaven
Oh Waite, did I just say that.
RIP miss you forever
Miss you always!@

My heartfelt sympathies go out to both Michelle and her family and to Al. Although I have been out of touch with my Palatine friends for too many years it deeply saddened me last Sunday to hear of Steve´s passing. Although we were not close friends he was always a good friend. Whenever I saw him I don´t ever think I ever saw Steve without his smile.
