Some times it is difficult to express your feelings for someone, but worse yet is to never to have said anything at all.
For nearly 50 years I carried in my heart an over whelming sense of gratitude for the generosity and sense of family given to my mother and myself.
Susan you told me the other day your dad said, I turned out ok. Obviously he did not want to rush to judgement for he waited until I was almost 60 to make up his mind. I regret never telling him he had a lot to do with how I turned out.
There is so much to say but truly I would never have not enough time to express everything in my heart. Your dad's decision to take his opinions to a higher court leaves my heart remembering the many one sided conversations we had.
I had the privilege of sometime being called his 3rd son, yet I alway called him Mr. Pfeiffer. I sure if I chose to call him by his first name he probably wouldn't say a word. (But why take the chance).
I chose not to simply out of respect and love and greatest of these is love.
I pray that St. Joseph will keep him but I also hope he won't argue with him.
May he rest in peace.

I'll always remember our conversations started out with Mr. Pfeiffer's political opinions or how he would solve the problems of the world. Then he would ask me about my opinion. Most of the time I never told him my real opinion because I was not looking for an argument. So I would take a different path and sit back and laugh. The laughs are what I remember most. After that, I enjoyed how he would give the guys in the family a ribbing, which would always be followed by more laughs. It was a pleasure always being with him; the laughs, especially his, were priceless. For that I am very thankful he lived as long as he did. He was a wonderful man who enjoyed life. I am grateful for that and the way his family loved him.
