Sorry to hear about your Dad, Tim.
Tim, so sorry to hear about your dad. He was always so gentle with me when I was his patient. I will never forget the time your dad,mom, and Tony picked me up to go to an out of town football game. It was so nice of them to let me tag along. Both of your parents were very nice people and great members of the Lisbon community. My prayers go with you and your family.
I feel bad for your loss and know what it is like to lose your family.Tim and Barb may you just have fond memories. I just loved your Mother too. God bless you all. Barbara Phelps
I grew up in Fort Atkinson and my best friend was Mary Lou Koch. I spent a lot of time at the Frank Koch home. Her brothers used to tease us relentlessly. WE would sometimes watch the shop when Frank went golfing. Mary Lou and I went on to nursing school in Iowa City.
