    The Kerekes family is a great group of loving people that lost an awesome man. He and his wife raised six strong Christian, high character people. Growing up around the Kerekes' you realized you had an extra set of parents that would love you and look after you like they were their own children. Mr. Kerekes always had a minute to speak with our family. He would ask us questions about us and listen to us like he was our own father. We will be missing Mr. Kerekes as we walk past his home. We will look on his porch and stare at his thinking of him. Mr. Kerekes' love for life and people will live on through his children and grandchildren. We will never forget you Mr. Kerekes!
