Condolences
The family of Carl A. Kohlmeyer has received the following condolences.
I don't remember Carl very well, though I know I met him when I was a child, but I knew his sisters Velma and Almeda and their mother very well. Dora lived behind our house, kind of, in the house built by my Uncle Paul and his son Barry. I used to ride my bike all over town, down to Fillmore and around the 1 square mile block most of my days in the summer. I would stop at a house that I felt compelled to visit in the course of my travels and could always count on mills and cookies at most places. Dora's was one of my stops.
3 women that I knew when I lived in Wykoff were connected to a man that lived to age 98 within my lifetime. I gives one pause.
Lord Bless all of his family He was a good friend and I remember the days at the condo
