We were so glad to have been able to visit with Alvin in October when we were in Swansville for a family gathering with Rita Stiller and the Lashinski relatives. Unfortunately, we are unable to attend Alvin’s funeral but want you to know that we are with you in our thoughts and prayers. It is sad to say that Alvin was the last of the Joe Scholz family. Now the children are left to carry on the name and family traditions that we were brought up with. We will always remember his quiet gentleness, warm, friendly smile and his love for music. May God bless you and keep you in His tender care during this difficult time and always. With Sympathy and Love, Gene and Vickie
We are sorry that we are unable to attend the funeral. We also had a great visit with Alvin last October thanks to Rita Stiller who got us all together. One of my favorite memories is sitting on his lap when I was just a small child. He had his army uniform on and we were sitting on Grandma & Grandpa’s front porch on the farm. Know that we are with you in prayers and thoughts. It is hard to lose a parent no matter what age you are.
Love,
Donna & Jerry
