I miss my sweet brother-in-law very much. He was a wonderful husband to my sister Mary. I thank him and love him dearly for that. I am so glad she got to experience what real love was all about. He truly loved her. Flori always had lots of love and smiles for us (The Twits). He will never be forgotten.

I've known "Willy" since he hired me in 1979 at Pollak and Skan. We've been quite close since then. I have too many fine memories of Willy to relate herein, but as "Will", I was known as "the OTHER WILLY".
After our careers changed and we parted ways, we would meet for lunch on a periodic basis and talk about the "good 'ol times". When we parted, Willy would always tell me to "Keep Smiling", and I remember that vividly.
It was my extreme pleasure to see the smile on his face when I would come to visit him in the nursing home carrying a chocolate malt. I could tell that he recognized me, and to see him enjoy that malt was rewarding.
Willy, I'll miss you--I already do. Keep smiling,my friend!! You are definately in a better place right now...away from the pain and suffering you've experienced over the last several months.
Mary & family, let the memories of the good times live in your hearts forever. I'm sorry for your loss.

Florian-
It was my extreme pleasure to meet and get to know you and your beloved Mary here. I know you are so proud of your family, and with good reason. Your passing is such a loss to us all. It will be my extreme privilege to meet you in heaven for I have no doubt you are there now.

Dear Dad,
We told each other many times how much we love each other, you showed me all my life how much you love me. I hope I showed you, too. I miss you, Dad.
