"Grandpa" Hamburger has been such a significant part of my life. He was a part of most of my life's milestones...school graduations, weddings, travel adventures, etc. Always there to listen and share some of his own stories. I will miss our regular lunches at Denny's and his wonderful sense of humor. With Love Always, Stephanie Kreider

I'm so deeply saddened by the death of my dear, long time friend and 'adopted' Grandpa to my daughters. Since I live so far away, I'm thankful I had a chance to see him recently. He will be missed so very much. My heart is very heavy with sadness at the loss of his friendship and humor.
