Dear Barb, We extend our deep sympathy at this difficult time. My early memories of growing up in Beaver Dam include stopping by the bank to see dad and visiting with "Flip," Tom and Anita. They were all such good people. When talking of "Flip," mom always affirmed that he was a great golfer. I remember him as always looking so youthful. May your fond memories of him keep him close to you always. Bob and Kathy Schoenwetter

Dear Barb and family, You have our deepest sympathy. Flip was one of the "good guys" and he''ll be missed. I played a lot of holes of golf with Flip and a big circle of other guys at Old Hickory. We had a lot of laughs - and he always beat me! Luckily, we never played for money! Our sincere condolences, and if there''s anything we can do to help, please let us know. Roger and Marilyn
