      ___________________

      The oldest in the family and probably the orneriest though a nice guy, but if my memory serves me right he was afraid of no one and let it beknown. I seem to remember that he played a real part in establishing our rights to survival in the area where we moved to after Dad's death.

      Was a trucker, machine worker, rubber worker and a welder for many years. Lived on Patricia st. for many years and died there. Always friendly but rather coarse and uncouth in his language and of course always an Umbach and outrageously plain in his comments or feelings on any subject underdiscussion.
