This big confident man, my Uncle Paul, used to terrify me!
I remember visiting you all on your farm, and you on ours growing up.
With happy childhood memories, and recognition of a sad loss,
I send my condolences.
I remember Mr. Vogt on the farm, he was always a stern man it seemed. I would stay over and visit his son Rob, my best friend. Mr. Vogt always had something interesting it seemed and we were sort of related as his dog and mine had a few babies lol. I will always have fond memories of him and am sorry to see him go. All the best to his family.
