My Memories of Uncle Marcel include, nothing beats a Ford Pickup Truck, the Big Sky’s of Montana, Fishing and a Cold Beer. I remember he spoke how he felt and with a passionate voice, he laughed a lot, enjoyed social events, wore Jeans and boots and checkered shirts. He was full of life. Though its been many years since I have seen Marcel or his family these are the thoughts I value. Be happy for I believe he has a Fishing pole in one hand a Beer in the other and a smile on his Face. Best in life to all

As a child I remember the times Uncle Marcel came to Minnesota for a visit for a couple of weeks at a time. We would gather at Grandma’s. He had a very cheerful nature. Pleasant voice and his presence in the house somehow felt so comforting. Everyone had so much respect for him. Very good at making people smile and bringing laughter to their lives.

Our memories of Marcel Templin…..
A few years ago, we visited Montana and the family Templin. Marcel was a very good host and a friendly man.
We had a very nice time in Winston and remember the entertainments with him in the garage
with a cold beer. We were fascinated by his can-crasher….
We are friends from germany and we keep him in good memory. Our condolences and best regards to his wife Marion and the children Karen, Donna, Scott and Larry with familys!
