He obviously died on June 10, 2004, but apparently he ALSO died (preceding his wife) on Aug. 29, 1996. Now that's an accomplishment worth noting!!! :eek: |

The obit you all have posted was that of my grandfather. Just happened to be researching tonight as I suddenly realized this evening how much I missed him. I don't appreciate the humor. He was a wonderful, loving person. He worked hard and yes he did work at the My-T-Fine Pudding Plant for several years. All of us grandkids loved it when he was able to bring home the extra boxes of pudding. And the type-o on the obit was the fault of the newspaper. |
