Agnes, I was so sorry to read about Rich's passing. I remember him well from years at Pepsi. As well as making the legs for your table. The last I saw you both was at the bowling alley in Saratoga. And I also see your son Rick at Stewarts quite often and would always ask about both of you. He was a great guy and I'm sure will be missed by all the family and friends who new him. Again I am sorry for your loss. God Bless.

I am so sorry to read of Mr. Endres passing. My sincere condolences to all the family. I have many fond memories of working with son Rick at Olde Dater Tavern (long ago now ...) There were times when the whole family would dine with us -I always knew a fun time was in store ! Such a great family. Mr. (and Mrs.) Endres were always so kind, and so supportive of me. Rick, know that I am thinking of you (all.) I wish you time's peace and love's abundant memories, and I hope you can find comfort in how much others care, including me ! all these years later.

Sending hugs,
Jeanie Bunnecke

It was with deep sadness that I heard of Mr. Endres's passing. I had the priviledge of meeting and getting to know Mr. Endres through Lisa and Michael. He was a man who reaffirmed the joy of life in his eyes, his smile and his actions. My deepest condolences to the entire Endres family for the loss of their beloved patriarch. May he be with you always in your stories and memories.

I met Pa when my son Zachary was marrying his granddaughter Ellen a few years ago. I will always remember him as a kind man who graciously invited us into his family. I know how much he was loved and adored by his family and friends and know how much he blessed their lives.
My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends.

So sorry to hear about Mr. Endres. I have many memories of him throughout high school including sitting around the kitchen table at the house in Clifton Park! He was always smiling and loved listening to our high school girls chatter! Prayers for him and all his family
