My thoughts and sympathy are with you and your families at this time. I live in Florida now, for 27 years, and occasionally when I was in Rochester in the summer Jim and I would stop and visit your Dad. He and your Mom were good friends of mine. Both beauatifuil happy people. I was Josie Bell, that's probably how you would remember me. I worked at the Tribune Office sorting Mpls. Tribune papers along with your Dad on Saturday evening. You Mom was a good friend, and worked with me on occasion at Methodist hospital, down in the Engineering Department. I lost my husband Jim, September 30th of this year, we were married 35 years, and I feel your pain in loosing your Dad. God does help you get through your sorrow. Blessings on both of you girls and your families.

My thoughts are prayers are with the Wilstermann family. I worked for a couple of years with Mr. Wilsterman, a firm handshake and hearty laugh are what I will remember most. God bless.
Dear Julie and Amy:
I am sorry to hear of the loss of your father. I have such great memories of the junior high school days that I spent at your home on 8th Ave. with your mom, Steve and you two. Those were the days. Amy you were pretty small and I know Julie and I just took off most of the time. Julie is one of my life time friends that you always feel close to and remember even though we do not get to see each other very much. I remember the Sunday evenings at the Kasson races. Hmm, I don't remember watching too many races, except when my brother Dave was racing. :). Please know that I am thinking of you all during this time.
Your friend,
Sheri

I worked for Dick 40+ years ago. On Sunday mornings we would eat donuts, and drink coffee, then he woul have me deliver skips for the Sunday Star and Tribune. He must have had great motivational skills to get me out of bed around 5:30AM. Great Guy!, Chuck Dixon
Dear Julie and Amy - My deepest condolences to you both. I believe the last time I saw your parents was when my mother passed away and that was 17 years ago in Oct. I lost my Dad on May 12th. Never an easy thing to deal with. Always hard on the family. My thoughts and prayers are with you both. May your Dad RIP and fly high with the angels.
Julie and Amy;
I know this is a difficult time for both of you. Chris and I send our love, and hope you are well. Please let us know if we can help with anything.
Love;
Chris and Scott
