Thanks guys.

I am really aware of getting some pictures and records written for him Roger.

My Grandfather Coers died 15 years before I was born, at the age of 49. I had only seen one picture of him before doing family research the last couple of years. My Dad died at the age of 61, but my Mom is doing okay at the age of 84. At 63, I'm aware that I need to take care of myself to fight the Coers men health history, but I am taking measures to document history in case something would happen to me.

It's hard to believe that something that small can grow up to be a galoot like gramps. Super cute! Congratulations.

Ain't it the truth

Dick Coers

Raised on a farm, I saw the miracle of birth often. I was beside my wife at the birth of our daughter and son. But I'm at the age where this little miracle of life tops it all. We joke he looks too much like his father, but he has some traits of our daughter, and most definitely the hands of Coers men. Now I just need to stay healthy to teach those little hands how to build.
