Dear Sand Family
Our family sends you our deepest sympathy for the loss of a wonderful man. We enjoyed visiting with your father the past few months and will miss his. He had a great sence of humor. Thanks for stopping to see our dad when ever you were at the nursing home. Dad really enjoyed seeing all of you. Keep in touch…
I will my miss Uncle Victor.
My thoughts and prayers are with the family. I will always remember when I was a young girl Vic said if I could pick a calf up off the ground I cound have it. Boy did I try as he laughed. I could never get all four feet off the ground at the same time and was very disappointed. Your dad was a great and funny guy.
Our thoughts and prayers are with your family! I wish I’d had time to visit you when we were up for my dear brother Ralph’s funeral. I remember several years ago visiting at your farm when you sat at the kitchen table watching me, Bernie #1 and your daughter, Bernie #2 making rhurbarb cream pies. Bernie #2 mixed her crust a bit to much and it turned out really tough so she had to start over. We had a good laugh!!! Victor you’ll be greatly missed but…..till we meet again!!!!!
