Larry, I was sorry to read of Weezie’s passing. I remember great times with you and Jim Kepler growing up.Your Mom was very nice to me and it always brings a smile to my face and a great story of our adventures to tell around the campfire..
Larry, I have many fond memories of your mom and am sorry to hear about her passing!!! She was such a delight to be around. I can remember many times sitting around the kitchen table listening to Gram and Weezie talking and laughing as they drank coffee and smoked! And yes, I remember you running up and down the back stairway in the yellow brick with all your friends.
Larry, Sorry to hear of your mothers passing. She was a wonderful friend, loved by all and is going to be missed by all. She was a great co- worker,very hard worker! I enjoyed visiting, playing bingo, shopping with her. Such an amazing lady. Im sure going to miss her.
Louise truly was a hard worker! She worked beside my mother Bonnie Feuss for many years at the A&W and she played cards with my parents for many years as well. I always called her “Weezey”, every since I was a little girl! She will be missed by many who knew and loved her.
Larry, Do you remember us? We are Dale and Eileen Sargent and lived next door to you when you and your mom lived in the yellow house. We lived there three years and we were fond of you and Charley. Would love to hear from you. Your mom was a nice person The Sargents
Larry, you probably don’t remember me, but I grew up in Lisbon. My older brother was Jim Kepler, my older sister Dawn Owens. I was the youngest one, always running behind, saying wait for me! I remember your mother well. I always called her Weezie. She was friends with my mom, Pearl Owens. I remember when you lived in that yellow brick house in Lisbon, and we use to sled down that big hill beside your house in the winter. I remember your mom working at the local restaurants. Sometimes she would sneak us a free soda. Lisbon was a long time ago wasn’t it?
Larry, I wasn’t aware that Weezie had passed. She, and you were a major part of m life growing up, and she was always there with and for Mom. They were the best of friends for more than half of their lives. My thoughts are with you. Charley
