My uncle and godfather Henry has been a happy reminder of my dad (his brother Ray) who passed away 19 years ago. In fact, Uncle Hank’s funeral is on the anniversary of my dad’s death. The brothers will be together again and I believe they are telling their two families that we should get together more. We miss you and love you Hank! Lisa
We were very honored to know Mr. Kampa. He was a great father and grandfather to our wonderful neighbors, the Wurzers. We were made to feel very special by him every time he visited them. Mr.Kampa always made a point of having something kind and really complimentary to say which brightened our day. His enthusiasm and energy will be missed. Kim and Corey
