Dr. Leroy Wauck
April 1, 1920 - January 6, 2009
Our "Pop" leaves behind his wife, 8 children, 33 grandchildren, and 26 great-grandchildren. 
 Rest in peace, we all love you so dearly.
I thank you, God, that I have lived
In this great world and known its many joys ...
I thank you, too, that there has come to me
A little sorrow and sometimes defeat.
A little heartache and the loneliness
That comes with parting and the word "goodbye."
Dawn breaking after dreary hours of pain
When I discovered that night's gloom must yield
And morning light break through to me again.
Because of these and other blessings poured
Unmasked upon my wondering head,
Because I know that there is yet to come
An even richer and more glorious life,
I thank you God that I have lived." 
(Elizabeth, Countess of Craven)
