Alene and Bill, Louise, Ron and Kathy, Nancy and Joe, Grandchildren and Great Grandchildren

December 15, 2009 Last Updated: December 15, 2009 02:37 PM In Memoriams

In loving memory of Frank Van-Grootenbruel

July 2, 1916 — December 15, 1988

Another year has come and gone...

Although it is a sad time for us... we have lots of happy memories to remind us of you.

"You'll always be our special Santa."

We miss you Dad...

You are always in our thoughts and forever in our hearts...
