To all the Logtenberg family. I am sorry for your loss. For me, Derk was a character. All I ever knew was to never stand behind his truck when he put it in gear! He would have run over you! But on a more serious note, Derk was wonderful and inviting. He took our young Matt, Marlene’s grandson, thru the barn on a fairly regular basis. He allowed Matt and Grandma Marlene to bottle feed the calves. Showed Matt the ropes.
Derk was a special man and we will miss him! Just don’t stand behind the truck! Xo
Hugs to Lillian and all the Logtenbergs.
