[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Sad News - Lawrence Penno

[rlyster]

Awe....so sad and sorry--he was a shirt-tail relative of mine, in a sense.  His father, Adam Ritz, was my grandfather's cousin.
Unfortunately Adam never got to meet his son nor Lawrence his father since Adam was a soldier killed before he could marry Lawrence's mother:(.

Sad news indeed. Lawrence was an important factor in getting SGGEE off the ground -- as Rose said, quietly, behind the scenes. (Although, to be fair, he was not all quiet; he could be blunt when urging people to submit their information for the SGGEE database.)

It's tough to see so many of the pioneers moving on.

This past weekend we heard of the passing of Lawrence on July 13th, 2017.

Link to his Obituary.

For many years Lawrence worked quietly behind the scene, by entering the paper data submitted by members who did not have the ability to enter their own data into Legacy.  

Lawrence had many 'cousins' in the SGGEE membership, myself being one of them.
