Good morning poppop peany, Happy Father’s Day💙💙 I love you!!
I was blessed to have you as my grandfather for 32 years, and I will cherish every memory we shared. Thank you for being such an incredible husband, grandfather, and role model. I want you to rest easy knowing that you don’t have to worry about your wife. I got her for life. I promise to love her, support her, and be there for her every step of the way. I’m picking up where you left off, and I will make sure she is never alone. The same love and care you gave her will continue through all of us who love you. Your presence may be gone from our sight, but your spirit will live on in our hearts forever. Until we meet again, Pop Pop, know that you are loved beyond measure and missed every single day.
Love always,
Tara
P.S i got your boys & Jazmyne. I know she was your girl <3

Hi poppop, Today was absolutely beautiful. Grandma did amazing. You would have been so proud. You are truly loved. I loved that everyone who spoke today, said the same exact things about you & that’s how we know how true it is. You were heaven sent. A great man, content, sweet, loving, a family man. We love you so much poppop & I would choose you to be my poppop in every lifetime.❤️

I am so sorry to hear this. My prayers are with the family. I will cherish my memories of gowing up on Scott Town Lane and around peany. My hearfelt condolences to his family.
Peany was my friend. We worked together at Hartges from 1979 until I moved on in 2003. Working in , and later supervising the "railway" crew, Peany and I often "nailed it" brushing the sides of the big power boats.
I learned alot from Peany. One of his favorite lines (which I still use today) was "if you can't tie a knot, tie alot of them" , which he often did. One day we had "Dads Girl" hauled on the rails and were painting the hullsides. I was "tippin" and Peany was "rollin". About half way down the scaffold board broke and we both fell into the wet paint on the boat , then onto the ground. We had paint everywhere.
I helped him paint his Nova red, and we did a custom bicycle together. We also drag raced one day, right on main street in Galesville, Peany riding "shotgun " in Bucky's car and I in my Chevy truck.
If I had to move boats, meet a deadline, or just get "stuff" done Peany was always there . He was the go to guy.
I will always remember Peany "sandin" , seems like thats all we did sometimes, I bet he used thousands of 6 inch discs.
I hope the remembrances, flowers and tree help in your difficult time.
Yours sincerely
Will Ruhland
