Effie was a constant caretaker; caring for others, neighbor’s farms, and the village. He delivered meals-on-wheels for a number of years and looked forward to the visits he would have with those he served. Buddy was the grounds keeper for St John’s Catholic Cemetery and was on the Lowell Cemetery Board. He was a dedicated, life-long member of Salem Lutheran Church, where he was the last survivor of his confirmation class and was the oldest member of the church. He was also on the church counsel and was head of the building and grounds. In his spare time, Buddy enjoyed playing cards with friends, family, and neighbors. Effie is survived by his wife, Marjorie; children, James Lauersdorf (Mary Osterhoff) and Diane Kolbow; grandchildren, Pam Kolbow and Andy Kolbow (Rachael Derr); great grandson, Michael Kolbow; cousin, Erline Baird; other relatives and friends. He was preceded in death by his parents; two brothers, Arnold and Charles; and son-in-law, Michael Kolbow. Memorials may be made in Alton R. Lauersdorf’s name to Salem Lutheran Church.
