Larry was a long time Life Member of Post 60, who went through the chairs in the 70's and 80's ultimately as Post Commander. After that, Larry remained active in the Post, taking on whatever tasks were asked of him. This past year, Larry served as Post Chaplain, Provost Marshall and Alternate SEC, all at the same time. Many of you will remember him from State Conventions. He will be greatly missed.

It is with a saddened heart to inform you that a long time life member of our Post 1032, Karl Bubolz, passed away this morning. I am sending this out state-wide as many of you remember Karl from the SEC meetings and the numerous State Conventions he attended. Karl was an absolute gentleman in every regard. What an easy guy to get to know. He will be sadly missed by all of us. I will fill you in on the details of the funeral as soon as I get them. God loves you Karl. He’s waiting for you. Good journey!

After being in the hospital since Feb 11th, other than a short stint of less than 6 hrs in a rehab center that resulted in Jim falling, all his tubes coming out and a trip back to the emergency department at Froedtert, Jim is now at the Union Grove Veterans home. It has been a long recover, he still has a long way to go, but he is happy to be standing (with support) on his good leg. Jim has a no weight restriction on his right leg.
Marvell expresses her thanks for all your prayers and support. Please continue to pray for PDC Jim Ruppel.
