Hello again family, just wanted to share some other special memories with grandpa and myself. Whenever I stopped over to visit he would be in the kitchen making lunch. He always called me (cloudy) and he would say sit down and have a sandwich with me and a short beer which would be in a tall glass. I also remember when he made his (souche) don't mind the spelling but he called it head cheese. He sprinkled it with vinegar and pepper and I still go to the grocery store today to buy some, but it will never be as good as grandpa's. I remember him making his famous terriaki on sticks that he always cooked for the holidays. One thing that I will never forget. He had this one dog and he warmed the dogs food in the microwave. He said well how would you like to eat cold food. What a special man. I loved him dearly and I don't know how long ago since I saw him but I wish I could of seen him before he passed away. I love all of you and will see you soon. Love Claudia

Well I liked to share some of memories with all of you. I remeber at the young age of four or five waitng for my gradfather to pick me up in the red dunebuggy, to take me out to the airport to go Flying. I remember at the age of ten having granpa and grandma drive me to the hockey rink for my first hockey practice, I ended up pushing a chair across the rink. I remember spending many nights at grandpas house in basement playing with his tools and oh lets not forget granmas creapes every sunday morning. I remeber all of us at the yacht club in gross point and I through claudia's shoes in the water. I remember the x-mas in stuart flordia were DJ, jeff and I could do nothing right on a fishing expidition, I recall we were all considerded infants, I remember the time DJ left the gas on the latern and grandpa managed to try and light it, un forutnatly I think he was missng a few whiskers after that experience. I remember all of the Sea stories for the sailing days on the great lakes.

Hello Everyone,
Our thoughts and prayers go out to all of you, especially you mom. Odeille and Johnny we love you and we will see you soon. That is a really good picture of grandpa. I wish I could of seen him to say goodbye. My thoughts that have always stayed in my mind of him the most was when he loaded all of us grandkids into the greenbrier and took us to the dairy queen. Everyone always got vanilla dipped in chocolate and I was always the odd ball and got the vanilla dipped in cherry.
Dad and I will be there for the service and we will see all of you soon. Love Claudia and Harold
