My condolences to the Sonderleiter family - I've known Bud and Leola my whole life and Bud was such a character! My father and Mike were best friends for many years. He and Leola also spent a lot of time at the McDonalds I worked for in high school and he always had a hearty greeting and smile when they came in. Thoughts and prayers to you all.

My grandpa was one of the best men in my life. He was a father figure to me. He served his country and was always a pillar during all our vast family issues.. for me personally, he paid for every music lesson and came to every recital (front row). I lived with them often during our many family issues & will always remember the home cooked food and the old movies... our basketball games.. playing songs on the organ....He (& grandma) were both hero's in my life and no one will replace him ever. I plan to play him a special song on the piano tonight. Love you grandpa! RIP. Diana

Spent a great deal of time with this family, babysitting and socializing.
It has been over 30 years since I moved but still feel a connection.
Rest in peace

Good bye my friend. You surely lived a wonderful life. You were active in my father's church and the best of friends of my parents and me for 75 years and many more friends over the years. May God receive you to his Kingdom in a joyous way.
