From Facebook: Peter Wenner: First time i've seen a picture of Lloyd Roelke and this was the year before he retired. Ruby and Darrol Snoots were evidently with the Roelke's for a long time, too. Darrol previously drove the delivery truck for my grandfather at the City Meat Market in the next block. July 9, 2011

Ann Beacht : I am delighted to see this old photo of my grandfather, father and two of the wonderful people I saw almost daily during my childhood. Darrol and Ruby were longtime, devoted employees and really nice people-- very tolerant of the boss's kids, I might add. July 9, 2011

Garland Young: I worked at Roelke's store when I was going to high school. Bill dad taught me how to be a butcher. But first I had to get a half of cow out of the meat cooler. Don't know how I did but I was able to get the half of beef to the meat block. I only weight 118 at the time. Really enjoyed working there. Oct 20, 2014
