Betty Lou Greiner 1952 - 1991. My sister. She was tougher than nails, a real fighter.

"Bay" was saddled with diabetes and Lupus but never lost her fire or will. She was a lover of children, a good sister, and a great aunt. She went to be with our Dad one June morning in 1991.

Louis P. Greiner 1948 - 1999. My big brother.

"Lou" was one of the smartest and funniest people I ever knew. He was a great brother who taught me a lot and protected me when we were kids. I miss him dearly, we all do. He left us one April morning much too early in life. I love you Lou.

Betty M. Greiner 1922 - 1996. My mother.

"Ma" did her best although she was saddled with addiction and illness most of her life. She meant the world to my Dad who never left her side and never stopped supporting her. She passed away in 1996.

Richard Bond 1947 - 2002. My best friend.

"Tricky Rick" was one of a kind. His talents were many, he was funny, smart, and could con the pants off just about anyone. Rick left us far too early in life, taken by the addictions that never ceased to assault him. I am sad for his son Joey who misses him now more than ever. Rick you're often in my thoughts and always in my memory. Bye, Bud.

Louis H. Greiner 1919 - 1991. My father.

"Nob" was loved by everyone who knew him. He was the most influential person in my life. To me, he was noble and good. He was a true hero who navigated B-24 bombers in WW2 and who never left his wife and kids through the hardest of times. I miss him but he is so close to my heart that I know he's not really gone. Dad I love you. We all do.... "and of all the Kings and Presidents, this world has ever had, not one of them ever had a son, so proud to call his father, Dad."

Paula and Elmer Longboat

Paula and Elmer were two very gentle souls who were fortunate to have found each other. After Elmer passed away following a long illness Paula missed him deeply and it was sad to see her lonely but she made the best of it. Paula died one June morning in 2006 during a long and painful stay in the hospital. She loved her kids and her family and always made an effort to be part of our lives. Paula and Elmer, I love you both.

David P. Weber

1965-2001. My nephew and a genuine rebel. David was rough and tough but sensitive and loving as well. He served in the US Air Force and was a great brother to his two sisters and his brother Darrin. David died of injuries sustained in an automobile accident. He died much too early in life. He is missed by Tammy, Kim, Darrin, and all of us.

David P. Hens: 1948-2007

David was one of the funniest people I knew. He had a happy and loving heart. Although we lost contact through the years I will always cherish memories of DeSales High School, the dances, the laughter and the fun. Those days at the Hamburg Fair, entertaining your brother Mike, his friends and everyone with our guitar playing and singing will never be forgotten. I love you my brother.

Eric Lecointre, France.

Eric visited me and my family as an exchange student for a couple summers back in the Eighties. He became like a son or brother to me. Eric was killed in Paris in a motorcycle accident in 1994. I was deeply shocked and saddened to see this wonderful guy leave us so early. I have been in recent contact with his younger brother Thierry who misses his big brother greatly. Both Thierry and Eric will always be special to me.
