Jan,
We were very saddened this morning to learn of Hanks passing. We enjoyed many memorable times with the two of you. Will never forget bar hopping on the Mississippi.
You've been in our thought many times over the years, usually with talk of a road trip to Belle Vista. Procrastination always stopped us.
We will cherish the memories forever.

Our deepest sympathy Aunt Jan and family,
I will remember Uncle Hank as someone who grabbed life and made many memories for all of us. He was not a bystander he rode it out and had fun.
Your family is in our thoughts.

Dear Jan,
My thoughts and prayers are with you as they have been throughout this period of your life. You gave him back: love and dignity when he needed it the most and for that I respect you soo much! HE will be missed with that awesome smile, wit, love and humor. I pray your strength will be in God's grace and mercy in the days ahead. Your adopted daughter! Kathy Krieger.

Jan,
I am so sorry to hear Hank's passing. You both were just in my thoughts earlier this week. I still think about the time we went to a Husker game & Vickie did not put the salad dressing cap on tight. Hank shook it & ended up with dressing all over him. You guys were always great to everyone! Bless you & you are still in my thoughts.

Dear Jan,
I am so sorry to hear about Hank. I think back on the great times we all had at Elmo's and the Library. Seems like yesterday. You both were my second set of parents. Just wanted to let you know that you are in my thoughts and prayers and I will always hold a special place in my heart for you.
Love, Sue (Checker Becker)
