My father, Leo Schwendau, was a good friend of Werner Huyler back in the 1940s, and we sometimes visited the Huyler family in Wilmette when I was a small boy in Chicago, born in 1937. I remember Jim, Jack and Joe Huyler vaguely from those days. My brothers, Donald and Jack Schwendau, were friends of the Huyler boys in their teen years. I remember Lolla and Mimi.
My prayers and condolences to the Huyler family.
Sincerely, Bob Schwendau
