Sorry to hear of your loss. I am Menno Tschetters son and have very fond memories of Al. He was a great help on my Dad’s farm, putting up hay and feeding cattle. My favorite memory was him naming things Sam, like his pickup. Our prayers are with you in this time of loss. Neil Tschetter
Hi Neil-
Thank you for your sympathies. Grandpa Alvin talked about his days with your dad and all stuff they all did together. It brought joy to him remebering those days. Jim also shared some of his memories with you all. Yes – Grandpa loved the name Sam 🙂 (their family dog ended up with the name Sammy) Again – thank you for your kind words and good memories of Alvin. Alvin’s granddaughter – Jennifer Beckendorf
