I was a small child of 5 when you and your family were welcomed to our church family from Europe. Here we are 56 years later. You'll always be remembered as a quiet gentle giant of a man who was kind and compassionate to his fellow man.

I am deeply sadden of his death.
He has been a very good friend to me.
He was a very friendly and kind man.
With a never ending Smile and a heart
full of kindness. For the short 15 years that I have known him, I will probably never know a nicer man.
He is in my HEART and PRAYERS.
May JESUS welcome you into his GLORY.
