The Kroeger kids all felt very lucky to have both Aunt Mary and Uncle Sonny in our lives. I remember them both being so kind to us all especial the kindness they showed our mom. Who knew it was all going to go by so quickly..many good memories.

I have such fond memories of Uncle Zauch and Aunt Mary. Uncle Zauch was always pretty quiet around us when we visited but it was clear that he loved his family and adored Aunt Mary and was quietly protective of those he loved. He had a great heart and I will miss him. My heart goes out to Bob, Deb, Don and MaryAnn.

I will always remember Walter as a witty dad to my friend, Debbie. He treasured his family & friends, loved having guests swim & enjoy his pool, enjoyed his get togethers with "The Dirty Dozen" friends group, & worked harder than he played... We've lost another good one... I'll keep his extended family in my prayers. -
