I am very sorry to see your loss. May the family continue to be there for one another with love and support. In the Holy Scriptures it says, "And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more..." (Revelation 21:4). It is my sincere hope that you find true comfort at present and real hope in the future. -John 5:25-29. Take care and be well.
My sincere condolences to the family.H
Mary, Paul, and Alan,
Your Dad was a very wonderful man, and I have fond memories of both him and your Mom during my high school years. He was a good friend to my Dad. I remember him coming over to our house after my Mom died, and his visit and kind words meant so much to me and Dad. I am so sorry for your loss, and please know that you and your families are in our thoughts and prayers!

So sorry to learn of Dean's passing. He was a good friend to my dad,Ray Taucher. I can hear my dad in heaven: "What took you so long?"
Oh my. The last of an era. Always loved your dad and have fond memories of caddying for my dad as a ten yr old as he played in the Saturday golf game with Dean and their other two buddies.
And what about all the time I spent at your house - such good memories.
I'm truly sorry for your loss and will be in touch soon. All my love. Barb
Mary,
We are so sorry for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
My thoughts ans prayers go out to Al and all of the family. May time lessen the loss without losing any of the precious memories.
We are so sorry for your loss Mary. We did not have the honor and privilege of knowing your father however, in reading his obituary we now know that we missed an opportunity to know a great man. He was an active citizen helping his community, he taught and provided leadership and guidance to thousands of students, he served his country in the Marine Corps and this is just to name a few of the wonderful things he did in his life. He created an awesome family tree branching out to you, and then to your son Andy who married our daughter Melissa which gives us a proud connection to his family tree. A wonderful angel has gone to heaven. We pray for him and we pray for you. We pray that the Lord will give you strength to weather this sad loss. If we can be of assistance to you please contact us. We send our love, prayers and condolences.
Sorry to hear about your dad. I used to play a lot of golf with him and had a lot of good times.
