Cyril Spengel
Bill took this time to remember Cyril Spengel. He asked people in the crowd if they remember ways that Cyril had touched their lives. Many cited that Cyril helped them with their first home loan. Jack Klaus talked about serving on the bank board with him. Len Daiber remembered favorably working with him. Don Johnanes told how he took him under his wing and helped him get started. And Henry Metzger told of how when he worked for Duvardo's on the Square, that Cyril told him that he could have whatever he needed (but not his Boss). He was a great man, who influenced many lives. Cyril will be greatly missed.
