Thomas Hunsaker, Vorstand of Die Gemütlichen Schuhplattler and his wife, Kimberly, who was Erste Vordreherin, were victims of a heinous domestic dispute which occurred early Monday morning, May 27th, in Placerville, California, just outside of Sacramento.

The members of the Gauverband Nordamerika are terribly shaken by this extremely tragic and unfortunate incident. Thomas and Kim were long time members of Gauverband. They will be sorely missed.

Thank you for all your prayers and thoughts at this extremely trying time.Our condolences, thoughts and prayers go out to the friends and family of the Hunsaker's. This horrific tragedy is completely senseless and unbelievable.

We are all stunned. To say we're sorry does not begin to cover the magnitude of the loss. We especially express our sympathies to the children who will have to deal with this for the rest of their lives.

Rest in peace, Thomas and Kimberly.
May God be with you.

Family and friends gathered to say a Rosary on Monday, June 3rd at 7:30 PM at O'Conner Mortuary, 25301 Alicia Parkway in Laguna Hills.
