Sending prayers and condolences to Einar’s family. I remember my folks spent hours playing cards with Einar and Marian many many years ago. I have many happy memories of those evenings.
Dear Barb, Jim, and family. We are thinking of you and the loss of your dad and grandpa. We hope all goes well with his celebration of life. He sounded like a very wonderful man.
Love, Jim and Nancy Murphy
Einar was a kind and cheerful man and a good neighbor. I always enjoyed seeing his famous geraniums, but more so enjoyed every conversation that we had. I visited with him nearly every morning , passing in the hall either returning from golf or visiting Gladys.
I miss those conversations. He was inspirational how active he was and always had a kind word and a plan for what was next.
Thinking of you all as you grieve the loss of your precious dad and grandfather.
Every time we would go visit my grandma Gladys we would go visit Einer and my son would watch Twins baseball or football games with him. He always took time to listen and chat with my 3 kids and treated them like his great grand kids. Liam really misses those times sorry for your loss and condolences to your family.
Many happy memories as children on Uncle Einar and Aunt Marian’s farm . What a kind man dealing with us city kids.❣ Our condolences and prayers to all family.
