My father, Roger G. Laube, passed away on September 15th and we recently held the burial and memorial services with family gathered from six states. He was a remarkable man who had an unwavering faith in God and a vigorous life in business, church, music, and family. He served as an incredible model for all who were touched by him. We love you Dad. You will be missed. An online memorial can be found at this link (http://bit.ly/QCg6tc). Included there is a full obituary and a “more photos” section. (Memorial gifts should be sent to Gideons International.). Picture to the left is from his 90th birthday, last year.
Steve, my condolences on your dad’s passing on to Heaven. My dad was 89 when he went to the Lord. When a man has served God with his life and all his heart, his homegoing becomes a true celebration. While I miss my dad, I know he’s having a blast in Heaven and I’ll see him again. I was blessed by your words about you dad.
Steve, I didn’t realize your father had passed. My sympathies to you and your family.
