November 24, 2021 at 10:40 pmSorry we can’t be there in person. Jockle was a good uncle and when we lived next door as young children, he was generous with large bags of ‘penny candy’; until this beautiful young woman we called Fran whisked him off his feet and up to Michigan. ( Of course, we were still happy since we got got the cutest little cousin in the deal!) Sharing in your loss and missing him along with the rest of the family. So happy he was my Uncle! Love and hugs, Susie and family: Duane, Great nephews and niece, Josh, Justin, Erika and Eli

November 25, 2021 at 5:15 pmDear Uncle Jockel…
Thank you for letting me shadow you around when I was a child. Thanks for the candy runs, carrying me home when I was scared of the dark, letting me watch you tinker with your vehicles and especially for The Great Motorcycle Ride of 1954! I always knew that you loved me in your own quiet way.
You were a great blessing to my Life.
Aunt Fran and Buck, words cannot adequately express the loss you are feeling.
– Looking forward to seeing you face to face. <3
