We would like to thank Kristy Crum with ThedaCare Hospice; Carol Polzin, and especially Lyle Milkuski for all their assistance with dad in the last few years.
We will miss the rock of the family and all the knowledge that hopefully we all learned from him. The thing we will NOT miss is Fox News on most of the day. We will never forget you. Your wish has been fulfilled to join mom. Love You Dearly
