I'll always remember Uncle Ansy and his huge contagious smile and hearty laugh. Like all the Sheldon men, he had that joking little twinkle in those blue eyes, was easy-going and light-hearted. He will truly be missed...

To the Sheldon family, Sending my thoughts to all of you at the loss of your dad. I remember him so well as my husband Richard A Weigel hauled milk at the time your dad did for so many years to the Platteville Dairy/Jenny Bros. They were the milk haulers of the time. May you have many wonderful memories of both your mom and dad to tell your families to come. Prayers and love, Ann Weigel
