Five generations of one family gathered in Antwerp on November 12, so patriarch Al Daeger could meet his great-great grandson, four-week-old Levin. Coming from South Bend, Warsaw and Goshen, Indiana, the four generations wanted to be certain to spend time with the oldest member of the family. Pictured is Great-Great Grandpa Al, Great Grandpa Bruce, Grandpa Nick, Dad Andrew and Levin. Al grew up in Antwerp, moving away in the mid-80’s and recently returned. Al and Bruce are Antwerp HS alums, while Nick moved away as a child. Andrew recently returned to the Midwest with his wife Adrienne so they could raise their son around family.

Gathering for the first time at Antwerp Manor for a rare 5-generation photo opportunity. One-month old Levin was looking forward to meeting his great-great grandfather and Al was certain not to disappoint. Also, Grandpa Nick is in the sweet spot of having a grandson, while spending time with his own grandfather.

“At the end of the day, having family is what matters most,” stated Bruce.
