One More Death in the Family


I hope this will be the last post this year about deaths in the family. Yesterday I heard from my sister, Betty, that our uncle, Paul Henninger, died Friday, October 9th. Paul was married to our Aunt Stella (Dengler) who died when she was very young - in her 40's.

As kids we loved to visit Aunt Stella and Uncle Paul on their farm. They had a wonderful place in Lenhartsville. I remember learning to fish for the first time in the pond on their property.

Paul was 94 years old. After his first wife, my Aunt Stella, died, he remarried a wonderful lady named Grace and they were married for more than 43 years.

Paul always struck me as a man of peace and grace, he seemed to be the perfect gentleman at all times. The photo above was taken this past January at my brother Marvin's funeral. We will miss seeing him at future family gatherings.
