I have known the Groskopfs for over 50 years. I dated daughter Jill in high school, and college, and Bill was a year ahead of me in High School. I kept up with the whole family since. Our band The ElmBrook Spiders always played at all of Chuck's brother's, ("Admiral Al's') parties on Lac LaBelle. Always quite the event with spanferkel and corn in the outbuilding. Always a Gala. I kept up with Chuck and Betty, and the Groskopf team has done all of the work on my home on Okauchee. Chuck always found stuff everywhere, and roved the area for 'deals', and much of my house its built with his finds. Bill and his team always took care of me with all of my projects, and we are working with the team as we speak. I have always loved Betty and Chuck most of my life, whether in Elm Grove, or out here. I will miss his goofy laugh and jovial personality. He will be sorely missed by me, and so many. My heart goes out to Betty, and the whole family.
