John, not a blood relation, but family nevertheless. You are deeply loved by ourselves, our children and especially our grandchildren. They always loved your stories when we were together. You have been, and will always be their role model.
All of us will cherish forever the many times we were together. We will really miss our weekly visits, our Cardinal Ritter Thursday shopping trips will definitely not be the same without you in your special seat, and our Ted Drewes will never, never taste as good as it once did. We're sure our Lord was waiting with open arms to greet you! Please look down on us and continue to pray for us and your family. God rest your soul good buddy. We love you! Bill, Rosie and our entire family.
