My prayers and condolence go out to all of you. I will always remember him as a fun loving guy. Growing up with him, Paul,and Lois we did get into our share of trouble, but always laughed when it was over. When I worked at Pranges' and there would be a snow storm, where I could not get out of town. I would always call to see if I could spend the night at his home. He and Carol always had the welcome matt out for me. I am proud of him for serving his country, and keeping us free. I will miss him. He will always be near.
