Letter to the Editor:
My other father in law is Greg Scheff and he is married to Mark Mendoza's mom, Deborah Scheff. Greg died recently in a plane crash in Alaska. It's always sad to lose someone before their time, especially when you don't get to say good bye, but even though he's going to be very deeply missed by a lot of people,
I feel so thankful to have known him.
He was probably the most gentle, kind, patient man I have ever met. He loved my mother in law so fiercely. The way he looked at her would just melt my heart. He was incredibly generous.
He came down for my graduation and took my whole family to
dinner. He was a great step dad to Mark and they had a lot of great times golfing and fishing and boating. He was a humble man of simple tastes. You could never guess from his humility and easy going manner what a successful business man he was. He was Alaska.
He loved his family, even his adopted one.
He was from North Dakota, so he had a really great accent.
I want to be like Greg when I grow up. I feel so lucky to have known him.
Please keep Mark and Deb in your prayers.
Jen Mendoza
Deborah Scheff
