We will always remember you. Love Marlene

We shared a lot of great times in the “good ole-days”, working on your cars (they are now all called Classics Cars) and cruising around towns in them. Finding our old Pan Head Harleys and then building and painting our custom HD choppers together in your dad’s shop. We were able to find a lot of fun things to do that left us with many friends and great memories of good times together. Trips up North, camping, car shows, the great inner-tube regatta down the Huron River, the gangs baseball games at Delhi Park on Memorial Day, fireworks at Burr Park, weekend parties and volley ball with friends and much more. Thanks for a life time of friendship and memories.
Rest in Peace Good Buddy!
Tim and Irene Eiseman
