Loretta,

My brother Elmer died this afternoon (Wedensday) in Phoenix Az. He had been on dialyses for over a year and a half 3 times a week and then he had to go on it 4 times a week. He started to get weak and had increasing pain which prompted him to stop the dialyses last Sunday. He was the Son of Ernest and Ida (Saathoff) Krumwiede and brother to Mildred , Marvin, (deceased) and Orval. Will you please inform the network of the passing of my brother?
Many thanks,
