    My condolences to the Metzger family. I believe I served as a missionary in Thailand with Friedhelm Metzger in 1992. We worked in the Site 2 UN refugee camp for the displaced Khmer people from Cambodia. If this is the same Friedhelm Metzger, please contact me at:

    To the Metzger Family

    Our deepest condolences for the loss of your father and grandfather.

    Martin was a always pleasant man. He was very proud of his family; helping to build and support a great family business.

    A farmer at heart coming from Germany, he would wear the right hat at the right time and always help where he was needed.

    He will be greatly missed but never forgotten.

    May you remember all the happy good times with him.

    May God bless your family.

    With our sincerest condolences,

    The Ihrig Family
