Mr. Hanneman was my bus driver when I was coming up. He picked all of us Klinkers up to ride his bus to school. We watched for his bus at the top of the hill and everyone hollered, "The bus is coming" and we would scramble to get to the bottom of our long driveway. (Short Road) He would wait for all of us, even the littlest whose steps were short. At one time or another there were at least 6 or 7 of us riding the bus at one time or another. He was a very patient man to cope with all the children. Thank You Sir for being our Bus Driver. This was back in 1960's.
Your family was blessed to have a grandfather like him.

Luona and Fritz my deepest condolences. He was the best Godfather a child could have had. I remember most, the fun all of us had, when we went to Uncle Marvins house. I will miss him greatly as I know you will. The every lasting smile will be remembered.

Luona and Fritz, how special Marv was to me many, many years ago. He always cared for those of us who rode his bus to school each day, and I did that for years. Our 50th class reunion is coming up, so you know just how long ago that was. I know you will cherish each of the memories you created over the years. Each day is a gift, and you were blessed to have him with you such a long time,and he was blessed by your love and care.
May God comfort you now and give you the strength you need for each day.
