Dear Mrs. Gressle, Mary and family,
I was sorry to hear of the loss of your husband and father. I know that Bob Hagen, my cousin, misses him terribly, too. As Monica Baier, my sister, mentioned, I have heard the stories of him from Bob, as well. He was a remarkable man. May God be with you at this time of sorrow and comfort you in the weeks to come.

Dear Aunt Dell and Family: We will never forget the love, support and comfort that you and Uncle Bob showed us during the difficult time when we lost our mother. We will also never forget the special memories that we have of those famous "Gressle-Get-Togethers," both in Menomonee Falls and in Germantown. I'm sure Uncle Bob is up in heaven right now playing Sheepshead with Uncle Norbie, Aunt Rose, Uncle Joe, Uncle Red, Cousin David (and still trying to figure out if Aunt Zarra cheats!) We would count the days before our next trip "Up-North" and couldn't wait to see Uncle Bob battle against the elusive Muskie, Pike, or Sturgeon, that it seemed every time he cast, one was on his line! Or his numerous letters to the President, each one "peppered" with coloful language. We still can't figure out why the Secret Service never came knocking on your door! Aunt Dell, we want you to know how very sorry we feel about your loss, and understand that you are in our thoughts. We wish we could be their to offer our sympathies in person. Love the Gressle's from Wisconsin (Kip, Kara, Eric, Keith, Diana)

When I married into this family, I wasn't expecting such a huge, gregarious and loving family that showed their affection openly to each other, mine did not do that. Uncle Bob was such a happy, loving part of the family that he will be missed by everyone. He seemed alway ready with a story of some sort to tell. Our thoughts, prayers and love go to you Aunt Del and Cousin Mary and your family.
Love Vickey and Stacey

Dear Mom...Our hearts and prayers are with you today and always.
"DAD" was just that to me. Also my good fishing buddy. We may have not caught the biggest fish...but we could tell some whoppers.
So many great memories with such a "GREAT" man. Always a "Gentleman"
As Always Love Bob & Mari
