An old friend is gone

A German cabinetmaker I worked for in HS passed away. He first learned his trade building caskets. Fought for the German Army in WW2. He lost one leg, while the Germans were marching into Russia. He said Hitler liked the poor, but seen a man get his arm cut off when he didn't salute him during a parade. When Mrs and I were working on their large home, Mrs Hansen, his wife, insisted on us taking a break. She came out with rolls and 2 cans of beer. She apologized for not having coffee. It was 9 A.M.! We stopped by and seen the family today. The man was a teacher and a craftsman.
