March 30, 2019 at 11:03 pmI’m so sorry for your loss! I have great memories of playing in the country at your house. Learning to jump on a pogo stick and making mud pies in the chicken coop. You’re going to be missed by many!
Love,
Your niece-Barb

March 30, 2019 at 1:04 am“Crock” – my baby brother. Thanks for all the memories being raised as a Michigan hillbilly – riding bikes – swimming in Lake Brownwood – begging Mom & Dad to play with the Peters – and basically just “being kids”.
Time turned you into a man who is much loved and respected. Good life – loving family – beautiful children and grandchildren.
Thank you for allowing me to see your smile.
I love you Crock
Love Susie
