What a joy to know Harry Rauch! A wonderful Uncle. While distance kept us from seeing each other often, I always made a point to visit him and Aunt jean while in FL. So glad I was able to see him many times over the last twenty years – especially a few weeks ago. Such a humble and gentle man – I learned from his example. He and Aunt Jean raised a wonderful family. Warm memories always and glad you came into my life Uncle Harry.
I am so happy to have had the pleasure to have known Grandpa Rauch. What a so very genuinely nice man. Tank you for all of the wonderful conversations. My condolences are with the family.
Rest in Peace, old friend, rest in peace!
So very sorry to hear of your loss. Harry was a fine man .My Condolences are with his family
