I will miss my grandfather. He loved his family, was proud of his kids, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. I hope his wish to find his Kitty and Mother has been answered, and that his last train ride was a beautiful one.

To my dearest father, I know you knew how much I loved you and that I know how much our Thanksgiving gatherings meant to YOU. They meant alot to me as well. I always loved you and always will, I look forward to the day that we see each other again in Heaven with Mom (wife and mother of your four children) and my beloved littlest brother Bobby. We will all celebrate our family again with God in Heaven.

Dear Linda and family,

Brian and I know how much you all loved your Dad. Always a kind word and a twinklie smile with michief in his eye for everyone. I am glad he was able to share happy times with his family and feel their love. I know he loved the Thanksgiving dinners with his whole family surrounding him with laughter and hugs of love. Brian and I usually spent time with him at the happy occassions your family celebrated he always seemed so proud to be watching his family interact his eyes twinkled and he always looked like he just wanted to hug everyone tight. I hope the family continues to celebrate his life and the love of his family that he always carried in his heart by loving each other.
May the good memoires of times shared with him make his passing easier.
May love and happy memories of your Dad fill your hearts and give you all peace.
Barbara and Brian Herschkowitz and family

Louis and I are sorry to hear of Mr. Schultz's passing even though we never had the pleasure of meeting him. We know Tracy and her sister were able to visit their grandfather right before he passed away and that will comfort them the rest of their lives. Our deepest condolences. Keith Vernie's parents, Julie & Louis.
