Dad, We will miss your infectious smile that everyone loved so much. You have touched so many lives through your endless hours of volunteering. I couldn't have been prouder to be your daughter when we went to your auxiliary banquet in 2008 where you were given the Emeritus award for 13,629 hours of volunteering. Your bread, cookies and pies were always a treat to be enjoyed by all, even winning you the "#1 baker award." I will miss finding all the good bargains with my shopping partner and our lunches at T.G.I. Fridays, they knew us well. I'm going to miss you more than you will ever imagine. Love, Lori Christmas won't be the same this year; we will miss you more than words can say, Dad/Grandpa. We will always remember your love for life and the way you could light up a room. We love you! Love, your family. Brettschneider-Trettin- Lederer 606 N. Oneida St. Appleton 733-7383 www.btlfuneral.com Published in Appleton Post-Crescent from December 9 to December 11, 2011
