Dear Sandy and Kurt
Kenny was a fixture at Gruchalas for many years. Whether he was having a cold one with his many friends or was working behind the bar his presence was enjoyed by all the patrons. Thank you for sharing him with us. May he be enjoying the company of all his family and friends that have been waiting for for him to join them once again.
Sandra and Kurt: I am very sorry to learn of your father's death. You are so fortunate to have had him in your lives for such a long time.
No matter how expected, or how prepared you might feel, the loss of a parent is always difficult. I hope the very best memories of your family will help sustain you.

Sandy, I did try to share this a little bit ago when I first saw that about your dad, but I know he was happy with you guys and he lived extra long years because he was with you and I’ll never forget even being at Alexandra‘s wedding and seeing him there and what a good time he had I just wanna thank you for everything that you did for him And I talk about you often because I still have the towels that you decorated for me for my wedding gift 38 years ago and I don’t let anybody use them. They’re just decoration but thank you so much and thank you for sharing everything with your dad.
