I'm so sorry, Family. Your Dad/Grandpa was like an older brother to me. I am 11 years younger than he. Uncle George and Aunt Regine and Jeanne and Bob were wonderful to me when I would stay with them when my Mom went to summer school at Kent State to finish her degree. When they lived in Louisville, KY, I remember there being a bowl on top of the hutch in the dining room that was always full of bubble gum, and he was able to reach up and get me a piece when I wanted one. He and your Mom visited me at my high school, in uniform, one time in the late 1950s -- I was so proud to show them off to my friends! They always sent me a gift from wherever they lived while he was in the Air Force. He was a treasure! I was fortunate to visit him in 2015 when Steve Kloos' daughter got married in Florida. We had a lovely visit for a few days. God Bless you all. I wish I could have been closer to all of you. Love, Valerie
