Condolences Joe, take care
A sad day Joe, stay healthy.
Very sorry to hear that joe but I have to think that 90 is a good run. My father died at 67 and I’m pretty much a clone of him.
Hitting 51 now makes me think that I need to make the best of my remaining days
He was a very good baseball player when in high school - actually had major league scouts wanting him to sign up for some minor league clubs but he didn't think that he wanted to go that route - he was an Army veteran - was stationed in Germany after the war - had a chance to visit my grandmother and relatives living in Bavaria - at that time soldiers had to wear their uniforms - he told me about the time when my grandmother took him to a beer garden after church he didn't think he was going to get out of there alive from the dirty looks he got from the other Germans in the place - he had 2 sons - his wife passed away about 4 years ago - he was the managing editor for a news paper for most of his working life - was a big guy - we grew up in a very close family - mom was a housewife and pop worked in the coal mines until his two brothers got killed - we were poor but at the time didn't know it because every one else was also poor - he was a good family man - what better thing can you say about a guyQuote:

Sounds like a great man, condolences to you and your family
Great story Joe. He sounds like he was a all around great guy. My Great Grandmother was Pennsylvania Dutch.
Sorry for your loss Joe.
Sounds like you have great memories of him Joe. And it sounds like he lived a good life. We are all here for but a very short time in eternity. I lost my father when I was 10 yrs of age. I hope to meet him again one day, as I'm sure you will meet your brother. Take care!
My condolences Joe.
You will see him again.
