I met Roberta when Bruce brought her to Wisconsin, 15 years ago, to introduce her to us as his future wife. Our friendship blossomed into one of the funnest, and dearest friendships anyone could have. We've travel together, worked hard side by side, and mainly laughed together. She has been one of the most compassionate, respected, dedicated, beautiful and kindest friends I know. She gives so much of herself to everyone. How could I not have Roberta as the BEST Matron of Honor !

My son Brandon lives in La Quinta, CA with his girl friend Judy Richards. He works at PGA West Resort and has begun the process to receive his certification as a PGA teaching professional. I introduced him to golf when he was young, but he started kicking my butt on the course shortly thereafter and he hasn't stopped since! I am so proud of all his accomplishments - graduating from UW-Waukesha and the Golf Academy of San Diego, studying for his Bachelor's degree, working at Del Mar Country Club and now PGA West,and finding such a wonderful partner in Judy. Joele and I are thrilled to have both Brandon and Judy back in Wisconsin to be a part of our special day!

Evan is my first born. He has been such a strong, handsome and independent man. He enjoys hunting and being outdoors and has an unending passion for playing softball. He can have a wicked bat. He's currently training his chocolate lab, Madi, how to hunt. Evan continues to show what a wonderful husband and father he is. I'm so proud of him.

Taryn is my daughter and oldest child. She is an intelligent, beautiful, caring young woman. I am so proud of her and her family - husband JD, oldest son Kyler, and youngest son Kallum. She is a UW-Madison and Grand Canyon University grad who teaches biology at Janesville Craig High School. Kallum was just born on March 12 and this will be his first wedding! Taryn also is planning our wedding, along with our daughter-in-law Heather.

Kyler is my oldest grandson; he will be three in August. What a joy he has brought to our lives! He's smart as a whip and full of energy - a 100% all-american boy! He's a great big brother to Kallum, and he will be a terrific ring bearer!

Adam is my second born. He is such a steady, solid and handsome young man. He is my fisherman, hunter and you should see him hit a softball...amazing! He has such a great personality and I look forward to seeing where his life takes him. I'm so proud of him.

I couldn't have asked for a better son-in-law. A strong, principled, hard working man. Taryn and he met while both worked at Joey's in Madison. Since then, he managed two Olive Garden restaurants and now runs the Bonefish Grill in Madison. He's a terrific husband and father, and Joele and I are so happy he will help us celebrate our wedding day.

I have been so lucky with Evan's choice in a partner in life. They are so well paired. I couldn't be luckier in having such a wonderful daughter-in-law. Heather is a beautiful, kind, thoughtful, fun, light-hearted and a very independent and strong woman. She is so full of wisdom for a woman her age. It's been to fun to watch her be such a great mother to my grandson, Chase Richard. I love both of them so much !
