Blessings to the Schleske family. Our love and thoughts go out to all of you. My Uncle Ralph was a special man and I enjoyed the times we did get to visit. After I found out that he loved to cook, he would send me his favorite recipes. I still have them = ) I am grateful that God blessed him with such a long, full life and a loving and awesome family.
