Eugene T. "Gene" Loehrer

Gene,
I want to start by saying what a generous, kind and funny person you were. I remember calling you to talk to you because I know how lonely it is to live alone and you made my day and I hope I made the day go quicker for you. My brother Randy and my dad will be there to greet you in Heaven because you deserve all the happiness in the world. You were what a Grandpa should be and more because you love people for who they are and your family was so lucky to have you in their lives and I want to let you know I appreciated you even though I may not have know you that well I know when I see a great person and you were that. Now you can rest in peace and fly with the other angels. Love, Joan

Hi grandpa, I know we only got to meet a few times as well but from the stories I have heard from Richard and Toni I feel like I know you better. I enjoyed hearing about how you lit up when you saw your great grandson Ricky and I really wish that Richard and Ricky could have seen you one last time. I may not have known you personally but I loved you because you were a good person. I just wish I could have had more time to get to know you. Take care of Dawn up there.

Dad,
I don’t know what else to say that everyone else hasn’t already said.I miss u daddy. My heart feels so boken, I feel so lost without you here. I hope you’re with Dawn, Tom, and Grandma. I hope they were all waiting for you so you didn’t arrive alone. Even though we had hard time through the years, thank you for always loving me and being there for me. And yes I will always smile and think of you when I am texting on my phone. I know i much you liked it. I love you daddy!
Oh and please watch over the family, I think we all can use it.

Hey Grandpa Gene.. I’m sitting here looking out the window at the mini blizzard that we are having, thinking of course everytime the family gets together it is either raining, snowing or some natural disaster. I am glad that I got to say goodbye to you.. I will always miss your funny jokes and witty personality. I hope aunt rosie was there to meet you. Try to not get into trouble up there, I know it will be hard for you.. I love you grandpa..

Hey Pops
Gene here I’m feeling all alone, I’m trying my best to do what you asked of me. It is so hard to stay strong, when I have not only lost my dad but my best friend and fishing buddy. I will hate opener this year because you are not here. I will see if Ray and Joe will go with me this year. If they do go maybe you can jinx them like you do me every year, so maybe they will catch the 6 oz northern.
I miss you so much, you know I kinda got used to my daily ass chewings. You were a great dad and friend, and your family could always count on you if we needed anything. You were there for us and I thank you for that. I love you pops…although my heart is hurting, it makes me feel better knowing your pain and heartache and loneliness is now gone. Goodbye you cranky old fart, I will hold you in my heart forever and always…PS..I will take care of Frank, Jenny and the kids for you like i promised…I love you pops..

Grandpa Gene, I can not put into words the pain I feel right now. I am comforted at the though knowledge that you are no longer in pain. I often look back to our many trips to the Stillwater we took in the fall to the wineries or to Wisconson to the cheese factories. I really miss the time we spent together. I will never forget you and your support all through my service in Iraq. I love you and long for the day we can see each other again. I will try to have some new jokes for you. Goodbye Grandpa Gene, you’re the only Grandfather I have ever known.

I feel truly honored to have been a part of your life. Grandpa Gene you are one of the truest, most sincere, and funniest people I have ever known. Even now I can hear your laughter at Nick and my bantering and you telling us a hilarious (though slightly inappropriate) joke. You will be dearly missed. Please watch over all of us and I love you.

Dad…I am so lost… You asked Eugene and I to be strong through this time…Seriously..i’m losiong it..The urn we picked out together does not fit in you Niche..we tried 2 others..I hope you like the one Gene and I decided on…Dad.. I was there Today when they brought you back…Gene and I will honor your request and stay strong for the family…It’s hard…I will do it for you, but afterwards…all bets off…I hurt so much…i miss you…Btw..Jax saw you and Aunt Rosie the other night…Love you..Miss you..

Grandpa wow how do I begin. First I just want to thank you for soon many great memories I have of the times we spent together like the afternoons I would tag along with Big Bill and we spent the time talking about you name it how I would give for a chance to be able to do that again or simply put the old bn picnics I could go on for a bit about them plus so much more but I just wanted to say how much you ment to me and good bye grandpa I love ya more then i’ll ever be able to say

Grandpa Gene – What can I say now that you and I have not already shared with one another. The world will be less without you in it…thank you for your part in making me the man I am today. Thank you for never giving up on me, especially when I deserved it…Thank you for always being there, especially when I couldn’t reciprocate…and Thank you for the laughter, especially when I felt like crying. I love you, ‘Ol Man.

Dad I wish I could talk with you just one last time. I’m glad we grew closer these past few years and I’m gonna miss our daily phone calls and Sunday Vikings game chats. I hope you knew how much you meant to me! I love you and I’ll miss you old man.

Dearest Dad…I was hoping to have more time with you, I hope you knew we were all there with you when you left us. Prayed Aunt Rosie and Grandma were waiting for you. I hope you are free of pain and can now breathe.. I love you so very much and I will miss you terribly…Come visit sometime 🙂
