Our brother, an uncle to five and a grand uncle to six was a kind soul, passed away in January and will be missed by all. He passed through life with many interests, he painted watercolors, he played tennis which was also a life long interest, he loved sailing, he was a skiing buddy, he was very active in the German American club where he cooked up potato pancakes and he cared deeply about our mother who passed away year ago. He may have lost many connections over the years but remained faithful and caring to all those that were near.
