Sam, Russ and Yolanda and families,

So sorry for your loss. It was a beautiful service yesterday. You're all in our thoughts and in our prayers.

I'll always remember the wonderful time I had, as a seventh grader, going to Saynor, Wisconsin with Uncle Marty and Auntie Louise, Sam and Russ. Uncle Marty had taken me fishing, my first experience, and I had caught an 18" Northern Pike. He helped me pull it in. He was so excited and so was I! We have so many wonderful memories--The Wyglenda's and the Hare's--where would we be without you?

Thank you , Unlce Marty, for being who you were, a man of kind words and encouragement.. We'll miss you and your smiling face.

With All Our Love,


Mary Jane, Zenon, Brandon and Eric

Sam, Rusty, and Family,
I am sorry for your loss. Your father was a good neighbor and a friend to my family. Your father's whistling and the fishing stories were great. Your father took me on my first camping trip when I was a little kid. Who could forget going to Prairie Du
Chien for camping and fishing. I was the only one who caught a "clam" with
a lure. I am sorry that I can not be there for you and your family. My thoughts and prayers are with you and
your family.
John W. Kerr and the
entire Kerr family.

The thing you kids forgot, were his whistling skills. If there were catagories, he would be a master whistler. Remember all the good times, your dad whistling and the uncles singing and my dad playing the scrub board. Alot of fond memories.
