Pat, Your parents did one fine job raising you to be such a caring soul. I never knew your dad but kept up with his goings-on through you and your loving care of him. It sounds like he had 90 years of wonderful times here on earth. His place is now with the Lord. God bless all of your family as you grieve his loss. Sylvia Reimus

May the Lord accept your soul into the house of the Lord where you can be reunited with Grandma Edlinger and other family members and friends. You were a man of many virtues, one of which was patience with your kids, grandkids and great grandkids. Each one of them will have many long lasting memories of the time they spent with you and all the things they learned from you. Your doors were always open and you were always there with a smile. May you find peace in your Heavenly home while you wait to be reunited with all of your family and friends. You have always held a special place in my heart and my love for you has never withered. Peace be with you Grandpa Edlinger, Sue Edlinger Vega
