We were all so very sorry and saddened by the passing of Uncle Al. Our prayers and thoughts go to those who were closest to him. As was stated in at least one message, he was the last of the old guard Bitzer boys. We remember visits to his farm and hearing his deep, infectious laugh at family gatherings. Although we had not seen him recently, he always kept in touch by card or letter. It was touching that he always remembered his brother, Sydney, each year.
Although he is gone, we will always be glad to have known him.We will always keep Pearl, the Bitzer boys, William, Bella and their families in our hearts.
Bill and Nancy Barwig, Dick Bitzer and Ginny Bitzer
