I was so sad when I got the call about Grandpa this week. I always enjoyed our yearly trip to Minnesota visiting him and Grandma. He had the best sense of humor and always loved to tease me. We would always sit by each other at the dinner table and he would kick me under the table and pinch me. He was always smiling when he was around his grandkids. He will be truly missed and never forgotten. Love & Prayers, Stephanie

I will always remember Mr. Kaiser working in the garden and then in the fall having the best bonfires for the whole neighborhood. Thank you Mr. Kaiser and all the Kaisers for making growing up in this neighborhood so fun!
We’re sorry for your loss. We always appreciated your family as neighbors. I remember seeing your dad faithfully walking to work every morning and back home in the evening. Of course, we especially remember the great garden you used to have. Those were good times, and we’re happy you were our neighbors. Your dad was a nice man. Please take care of yourselves and be assured that you’re in our prayers.
I have so many great memories over the years. I am so glad Grandpa was able to get to know his great granddaughter, Melody, even though we live so far away. It was always so much fun to see Grandpa tease Melody and he was always so delighted to see her. He will be greatly missed. We send all our love to Grandma over the distance of many states but know that our hearts are with you.
Love, Michele & Melody
I am sad that Grandpa is no longer with us, but I enjoy thinking of all of the great memories of him. He was always so happy to see me when I would visit and I was always quite impressed that he could keep track of all of his 25 grandchildren so well! Family was very important to Grandpa and I am very thankful to have that value passed down to me. He will be missed but his memories will continue.
Sorry for your loss, Jean, and the rest of your family, as well. Our thoughts are with you these days.
It is very sad to see a loved one go; but it is a time to think of all the great memories they made! We’ll miss you grandpa!
One of my favorite memories of Grandpa is watching him dance with Grandma at my wedding in 2003. They were recognized that evening for celebrating the most years of marriage. He was so proud! The importance of family was evident in everything that he did and is an important value that he has passed along to all of his children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. Love and memories,
Laura
We are so sorry for your loss. I have a few memories of meeting John and Angie. I still make blueberry delight, a recipe Angie gave to me years ago. I’ll never forget Rita and Mike’s wedding and wedding dance. We had such a good time.
Mrs Kaiser and family,
I have so many fond childhood memories of Mr. Kaiser. He was the person who sparked my interest in gardening. I use to sit in my room and watch him work in his AMAZING garden year after year. I know I speak for my family when I say his amazing generosity whether in conversation over RV trips, smoked fish, gardening or just good morning will be missed by so many.
