I’ll never forget you Granpa and the quiet ways you showed your love and affection. I think my favorite memory with you would have to be you surprising me with a bouquet of roses on my 15th birthday. I’ll always miss the amazing salsa you used to make and your warm hugs. I love you Granpa and I always will. Don’t worry about Gramma, we all will do our part to take good care of her. I can’t wait to see you again in Heaven someday.

You were the best at being an uncle. I have such wonderful memories of you. Especially the playful teasing from you, making me laugh and then leaving me stumped for a good comeback! Oh how you will be missed. Rest Among the Angels, dear uncle. Until we meet again...

Thank you for all the great times we had with you and Marcie, Elmer and Rosie Werdeo, and Jimmy and Lois Ninmer. Memories I will cherish forever. Please give my husband, Bud, Elmer, Rosie, Jimmy, and Lois all a big hug for me up in Heaven. Love, Eunice Thanks, Coach Conley, for all your mentorship during my senior year of football at Kiel High which was also your first year as head coach. We only won 2 games that year, but at least we beat Valders in front of all my aunts and uncles who were cheering against us from the opposite sideline. Memories of a lifetime! Give my dad, Bud, a big hug for me up in Heaven. Joe Wusterbarth, left guard, #61, Kiel High Class of ‘80

You may not have been my best friend growing up but you were way ahead of who ever was in 2nd place. You always reminded me that you were the “older brother” (until we were in our 60’s and 70’s). One thing I wish I would have said more often - I LOVE YOU BROTHER! Rest in peace.
Jim and Sandy Conley (Brother) 2025-02-17 07:18:30
