To all of you...I have many fond memories of your Mom and Dad when we lived next door in the '60's. They were always full of energy and zest for life.Even many years later, meeting them at Lake DuBay or the Nekoosa Casino, they hadn't changed...their outlook was always so bright and cheerful. May they rest in Peace.
