I first got to know Egon when I was director of the Redfield Housing Authority. Since becoming Pastor of Tulare United Church I saw him several times a year in the hospital or at Leo’s. He was one of the most pleasant people I’ve ever known and took his ailments in stride. He was always so grateful for our small visits and prayer. I will miss him and send you my sympathy.
