Beth Dugan & Paul Ehlers and familyWe worked the fish fries and festival at St. Therese for many years with Marco - He would make potatos and then bartend. We were in the kitchen with him and later I worked to-go's next to the bar. Marco was great. He was a wonderful man, always had a joke or light hearted comment. He made our day when he appeared and made this event fun. We wanted to work. And, he was always kind and gracious to the many teenagers who worked. He will be missed... I can't imagine these events without him. May he rest in peace, may perpetual light shine upon him O Lord. With love and prayers Paul Ehlers, Beth Dugan, Becca Dugan, Ethan Ehlers, Elias Ehlers.
