OPA - FAMILY
When Opa came from Germany in 1955 he left behind his Mother, his brother Onkle Kalle, and his sister, Tante Cristel.
His Mother and brother have passed on, but here he is with his sister, Cristel in Herne, Germany in 2004. Tante Cristel's second husband has also passed on. She lives now with her pet budgie, BOOBY. The son of her second husband, HANSI lives in Herne and helps to take care of Tante Cristel as she is getting older.
Here is a picture of Hansi and his wife Petra with one of the boys. Hansi works with computers in the Essen area at the local Coal Mining Operation. Here is a picture of his two boys, Jean-Maurice and Marvin:
And here is a picture of his wife PETRA
When we visited Tante Cristel in Germany in 2004 Hansi drove us all around and we spent quite a bit of time with the family. They were very friendly to us and we had alot of fun.
