My deepest condolences to Val, Livia and family on your loss. I have very fond memories of the visits that I participated in when my parents (Hans and Elisabeth) visited.. I remember his wine making skills as well and the ability to enjoy a glass or two on some of the visits as I got older and was of drinking age. I still can hear his voice and the ability to make all feel welcome in his home. Hugs and love to all. Maya Charlebois Jacobsen (nee Schaer)
