RIP Old Man
I am so sad about the loss of Walter’s life
My idol has gone what a loss im sad.
Rest in peace Mr. Breuning’s. I can only imagine the things you were able to see in your 115 years. To think you retired at the age of 66 and lived an additional life is amazing. May God be with you and enjoy your new life with out the certainty of the end.
Walter…my great great uncle, your passing has bought such sadness to me, but as you say “were all born to die” as you were aware of my planned visit this summer, it will no longer be, all the conversations we had-i will cherish for the rest of my life. I love you -Matt
