My condolences to the family of Mr. Libentritt. My memories go back to the days of cleaning the floor every day after school of bakery dough mashed into the floor and washing gooey bakery pans in a washtub. But finding a left over bakery roll and some buttercream was a real treat.
These memories come to life everytime I visit a neighborhood bakery.

Dear Liebentritt Family,
I have many fun memories of being with Uncle George and his family - especially those fishing trips to Kankakee and those smelley old tents. I will miss him, but will always have good memories. God Bless you and yours and my deepest sympathy to all of you.
