Grandpa,
It's nine whole year's today. I miss you both so very very much. Nothing is the same without you two.
You were a true blessing in my life, I was greateful & blessed to know you, let alone to have you for my grandpa.
I treasure my many memories of all the wonderful things we did, we had alot of fun as kids with you and grandma, I will always remember that.
You were always someone I looked up to and could always count on. I love & miss you so very much.
It still hurts that I never got the chance to come to say goodbye, and that will always stay with me, but you know how very much you meant to me.
I love you grandpa forever & ever, until we meet again you will forever remain in my heart & soul (Tracey)
Love you,
Tracy

I hope your at peace & have your health & strength back.

Five whole months without you,it is absolutley horrible without you.I just want you to always know how much I completely loved you for you and that I appreciated EVERYTHING you did for myself & my children,you & Grandma have always been so good to us,and I will never forget that.I know how you are and always were and how hard you worked for all of us,even if people say it isn't so,we know it's the truth.You will always and forever hold a piece of my heart,I miss you so much.With both you & Tom gone,I'm really having a hard time understanding life,how do you go on,without two huge parts of your life gone? I just don't know and I don't know if I can ever really except that your gone.So for now please know that I love you with all my heart and thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything you are & always did for everyone.Until were together again look out for my brother and know your loved & missed very much down here.

Grandpa it's four months today you left us,yet it feels like yesterday.
I still expect to see you at the corner or in your chair and then my heart sinks when I realize I won't be seeing you there.
You were loved so much here and will continue to be loved way up there.
So Grandpa please be happy and be at peace with God.Relax and take it easy knowing how many lives you touched & helped & how much you were loved so that you can be pain free and at home with God & Tom.
You were a wonderful grandfather to us while you were here,now Tom & Henry get to have the same having you with them again and you can show them all the love that you can now share,being together up there.
You'll forever be in my heart Grandpa,I love you now & forever.
Please be happy & rest in peace.
Love always & forever,
Tracy

We were so saddened to learn that Bud is no longer here to tell us of his humerous pranks, and "coal yard" stories. We have many fond memories of our days at the lake with him and Dolly, and will miss him very much. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Mohr family.

As a family friend, my mom has known Bud and Dolly for about 55 years. She was even at their wedding. The Mohr's bought their cottage "Mohr Work" in Wisconsin the year I was born (1961). Bud and my dad Charlie played some wicked practical jokes when they were younger. And Bud ALWAYS had a story to tell. No matter what you were talking about, Bud had something fun to say about it!
I wish the family strength in this time of sadness, and hope for a bright tomorrow.
Bud will be sadly missed by all who knew and loved him. I think he'll have a new wooden boat up there, and it won't have any maintenance.
Sometimes someone touches your life, but stays in your heart forever. G'night Bud. Thanks for everything.
