Griewe Robert J 471031 p1
Going to fast . . . didn t see the turn . . . fell asleep . . . mechanical failure  . . . it doesn t make any difference now because
he is dead.  His name was Robert J. Griewe, 20, and a fresh mound of earth in Del Puerto Cemetery is another memento
to the specter that rides in your automobile. The young victim was alone at the time of the crash.  He was westbound on
Las Palmas Avenue and piled into the western abutment of the Joaquin River bridge.  A native of Seattle, Griewe was a
recent resident of  Patterson, coming here for his health.  He was employed by Tronstad and Thorkelson.  The accident
occurred Thursday evening of last week. Funeral services were Monday at Sacred Heart Church.  Rev Lester Erhmann
officiated. His parents, now in Seattle, plan on moving to California.  For that reason he was buried here.
