I was told about my Dads passing a few days ago and feel a loss of which I have felt to differing degrees throughout my life. I am devastated because I will never hear his voice again. He would call me every so often and as the years went by I grew to depend on and cherish those conversations. His language was very colorful and observations in general rather suspect, but it was clear as can be that he loved me. I have one wonderful memory of him, a moment that lives and is as full today as then when I was nine years old. We were at my Granddads,D.K. Nedrow's farm on a late May day; the Indy 500 weekend in fact. Fishing in a pond that was well stocked with Bullheads. My Granddad, my Dad and me. Just sitting quietly with the warm sun on us. I was the "spitting image" of my Dad, and I remember thinking how my Grandad had a different look about him; brown farmer skin and bright sky blue eyes. At that time I didn't know my Dad had been adopted as a young child by Granddad and Grandma Et (Ethel) Nedrow. When I did find out I was just that much more proud of my last name. I was always trying to get to know my Dad better and it seemed life pulled at us. This way and that. I'll always miss my Dad. I loved him.

We are so saddened by Ralphs passing. I am so sorry we could not make it to his services. You are all in our thoughts and prayers during this sad time. I can imagine he is up in heaven playing a good game of pepper with my Dad -his twin brother, Tom, my grandfather. We all have many wonderful memories together. We were so glad to have a great visit and long talk with Ralph at Nick and Rebecca s wedding. Was such a happy time and was great having Ralph and Dolores there. He was a proud veteran, put many hours in volunteering at the VA Hospital. Was deeply involved in the American Legion, VFW, etc. Was a hard worker his whole life, devoted family man, great father and husband. Ralph and Dolores 55th Anniversary is today, April 2nd. He loved his family, wife, children, grandchildren deeply. He will be missed alot but I have many fond memories to hold on to.
