Will, Bob and Jim...I am so sorry for your loss. As 1of seven Kraus grandchildren...I can picture Tom and my brothers flying those balsa wood airplanes at Aunt Jo’s on Mother’s and Father’s Days.
Others times he would load us up in his car and take us to Huntington Beach I think was to swim.
I also remember baking cookies to send to Ken and Tom when they were roommates and Fraternity brothers at OSU. Apparently they arrived hard and stale but made perfect objects to throw at people out of their window! 🤪. Also heard some “stories” when Betsy was in college and they became “the Three Musketeers”. 😉
Also made some good memories when he moved “all the way out to Medina!” First time there was somebody from our side of the family “way out in the country” with us!
I’m not sure you’re aware that my husband Terry passed away in July so I truly know what you’re feeling. It’s best for him and hard for you. Do your best to remember all the good times and keep that memory alive in a good way.
