I just today came across this news.
As someone who grew up on Hanssler and was a childhood friend of Marc, I had nothing but fond memories of the Culp household where I always felt welcomed. I knew the both Joanne and Carmen for many years. Truly quality people. I made sure not to wear out my welcome when invited. B. Gage

Babe & Joanne were wonderful neighbors where I grew up on Hanssler Street in Peoria. They were like a 2nd set of parents for us. We had many memorable fun times together, and I enjoyed seeing Babe the last several years when I visited from VA. I will hold him in a special place in my heart.

We met Joanne and Babe when we moved to the neighborhood in 1977. We enjoyed visiting with them and in the later years visiting with Babe. Joanne's presence has been missed and now Babe's presence will also be missed.

I enjoyed getting to know Babe over the last few years. He was special and kind. We know that he is with His Lord, out of pain and sorrow. Lord bless you, Wendy and Marc, and give you His peace. La Velle Borders

Babe was a very special person in our lives. His smile was infectious and we loved to listen to him recount different things that happened to him with his witty humor. He will surely be remembered fondly by all who knew him. Condolences to the family.
