IN MEM0RIAM OTTO K. LIEBAU, SR. As a family we touch his works of brick and stone, from flower boxes to alters, we embody his music, the haunted, romantic leader, we danced through our lives to his three quarter time. We embrace his poems, those fragile bits of soul-they give us the miracle of vision in a world where the past is fashionably forgotten. Reminders of Opa are far from faded.

Loving memories of him are as brilliant in our hearts as the contrast of a sanguine rose upon the morning shore. The Family of Liebau and Off Compiled July 24 by Phyllis Speigner.
