Sending my deepest sympathy. Wishing you strength to sustain you during this difficult time and healing that soothes both mind and spirit.
Our sincere condolences to Sara and Family. These are our memories of Waldemar: His warm, friendly presence, at church, fishing, his willingness to help, his stories, his handshakes, his bass singing voice, his gift of connecting with younger people, his joyous character. Our sons Jeremy, Jeff, Kelly, we all have fond memories of him. He would greet young men,- “How you doing son?”
Today I met Paul Belter, so naturally I asked if he knew a Waldemar Belter. Well, yes he did!!
I still miss Waldemar today. There is a certain class of German Men that are missing today, Waldemar was one of them.
I remember hearing him sat often.
