Holy Father, we thank you for the long and joy-filled life of Leon Schluge, who You love and whom we love. We trust in Your friendship and faithfulness, Lord as You so generously bestowed Your blessings on Your humble servant and our beloved husband, father, and friend...
Leon, who was the youngest of ten children to John and Mary Schluge;
Leon, who married Emily Helen Zanck and devoted his life to being a faithful husband for sixty-two years and a loving father;
Who worked at Western Electric throughout his entire thirty-six year career;
Leon, who proudly served his country during WWII in the US Navy and was awarded three battle stars on board the USS Moctobi;
Who, while retiring with Emily to Stroud, Oklahoma devoted time every morning to his spiritual need by watching daily Mass on Eternal Word Television Network.
Who loved golfing, gardening, riding his bike, working in his garage and being in the company of wife, children, grandchildren, great-children and Mini-Choo-Choo.
Leon, who will be forever remembered and missed for his spirited laughter, his joy of story-telling and passion for life;
We pray that Leon will share the glory of Your love for all eternity.
Amen.
what a beautiful way to remember your grandfather, i know he is smiling down from heaven!
