Elroy Tiegs

PAID OBITUARY

You probably didn’t know our dad personally but ...
If you were at Grafton Bowl in the 1960s though the 1990s, you may have been there when he bowled his 300 game.
If you attended Mass at St. Joseph Catholic Church in Grafton within the last 50 years, he may have ushered you to a pew.
If you were a grade school student in Grafton and walked to school, our dad was probably your crossing guard.
If you saw an older couple out on their daily walk with their little black dog along the highway by Sunset Court, those were our parents.
Dad touched a lot of people in his 95 years.
