Dear Vicki, John and Family, We are so sorry about Uncle Kennys passing. We have such fond memories of him, from childhood and as adults. We will certainly miss him, and miss knowing that he will surprise us and show up at our family functions, which he did quit often. We will keep you and your extended family in our thoughts and prayers. I have a feeling now that all those Jolgren Brothers are together again, their causing quit a ruckus up there in heaven. Bye Uncle Kenny we will miss your kindness, your jokes and your smile!!!!
Vicki and family,
So sorry to hear that your Dad died. I knew him mostly from his visits to the nursing home. Cherish your special memories. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Ann
Dear Vicki and John and family, We miss your dad and our visits with him at the Pizza Shack. It was always fun to pick his brain for stories of the past and he always answered in his humorous way. Olivia and Sophia loved the attention he showered on them. Olivia said to Sofie the other day, "Come on Sofie, jump in my car and we'll drive to Heaven and visit Papa!!! (Olivia has a little battery operated pink car) There is a huge void with Grampa's passing--fond memories of Papa will help you though the days to come.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time. Ken was always so friendly. Rosanne
Vicki,John,and Family~ So sorry to hear of the passing of your dad. We are thinking of you all at this difficult time.
Dear Vicki and Family, So sorry to read of your Dad passing away to another journey of his life. He was such a neat guy. I would buy things I didn't even expect to at the Baraga County Fair or from the hospital auction. May God Give you all his comfort and Love.
Vicki, I was so sorry to hear of your dad's passing. He was such a kind man. I have many memories of being at your home in L'Anse, and your dad and mom sitting at the table with coffee cups in hand, just enjoying each others company. My thoughts and prayers will be with your entire family. Dee Dee
Most of my memories of my life have my Grandpa in it, good and Bad he was always there for us, we were very blessed to have him there. When I got in my first fight as a little kid, I ran home and he was there, he told me it would be Ok and that the next time it happened to "Pop him in the nose!" Growing as a child we would go out to the farm in Alston on Sundays for dinner and Sauna, once in a while he would give me a sip of his Blatz that he stored out on the front porch. As a teen we would work on our vehicles together, and once he found out I could tint windows, ever vehicle he owned after that had dark windows. Every Hard time I went through in my life he would say "If you want to make it you gotta be tough!" and it would resin with me and it got me through. When I came back from the war it was well after the hype and when I stepped off that plan I heard him shout proudly "Welcome back Chris!" He was my fathers best friend and he taught us all how to be close as a family and value the time we had together...you will be missed Gramp, I love you and will see you again one day!
John,Vicki and family, So sorry to hear about Kenny,He was a great man will be missed.My prayers are with you at this difficult time.
