Dear Family,

We are both so sorry to hear of his passing. We had lost contact with him many years ago. But we still remembered him fondly when his name came up. We live in Mauston, Wis. own the willows motel. We still hear from Debbie as Rich is her godfather. Our prayers are with you all. God bless, Rich and Cynthia
