I will always remember grandpa as a strong man of God. They say if you look at your wife you can see the heart condition of the husband and I could always tell grandpa treated grandma very well and his heart was close to the Lord because just how strong of a wife he has. Grandpa made me into some of the man I am today. I will always love Christmas and winter because part of grandpa lived on in me. I remember he was always happy, always loved to give me Andy candies as I was a child, and all the moments we spent together I will never forget... grandpa if it wasn’t for you and grandma leading my dad into the Lord and living for Christ I wouldn’t be where I am today. It was because of his constant commitment to the lord, his acceptance of him into his heart that now I am saved and can live my life to its fullest and pass that same faith and strength into my kids! I love you and you will forever live on in me. I am so glad that you are walking by God’s side in heaven, there is truely no better place to be. You lived your life to the fullest and now you are truely home with the king, the love of your life, and creater who watched over you and stood by your side your whole life...

-Kevin Lk 18:27

I was so sorry to hear this. I have great memories of skating by moonlight on the creek in Waterport and listening to him "lip reading" the football games on TV way before it was popular. Prayers for Aunt Jerry, Craig and Suzy- miss you all!

Grandpa,

I'll never forget those special Christmas times where I would sit on your lap when I was little. The times we stuck Christmas bows on your head. The times you would always have slim Jim's for me to put in my belly. The times you and grandma made me your special little butterfly. The times keven would call you as soon as the first snow flake fell from the heavens. I love you and miss you grandpa, but I know your dancing and praising the Lord in an amazing place. You will forever be in my heart!

Love, your butterfly

My heart and prayers are with the Walch and Guenther families.

I have so many fond memories of Dick. He always asked about our family and reached out to us at church. He would spend time just to check in. He made us feel loved and cared for.

We will miss him smiling face and kind nature.

My very sweet kind and gentle Uncle Dick, I will always remember you that way. The love you had for your family will live on in them and we will all miss you so very much. But now you are at peace and with Jesus. One day I will see you again when Heaven calls me home. Until then your memory lives on in my heart.
