Thanks to all family & friends contributing to the Guest Book with your condolences. Dad continued to share memories of the past though-out the last several months ...and what a memory he had! Thanks too for the flowers sent from near & far. He is at rest & at peace with parents Paul & Annie, with our Mom, our sister Brenda, and with Laura, Cora, Roy, Harry, Earl, Clair and Burnell, who all were in our thoughts & prayers. What a generation it was too, dating back to about 1888.

Marian, Jim & I appreciate the support of relatives and friends who knew and loved Dad.

Grandpa,
I really enjoyed our frequest visits over the last few years. I committed to seeing you everytime I was on the East Coast and actually saw you three times this last year. I am so glad I did. You have been a constant presence in my life and will be sorely missed.

Love, Peter

"Who will help me reap the wheat?" asked the little red hen.
"Not I," said the cat.
"Not I," said the pig.
"Not I," said the duck.
"Not I," said the goose.
"Then I shall do it myself," said the little red hen. And she did.

I can hear you saying it. I have good memories, Grandpa. Home won't be the same without you.

Love, Anita

His was one of those relationships that I will always cherrish. From Hunting stories and Trophy Racks, to days in the Fields repairing balers, to talking Baseball, and then back to talking about the Mules used in farming, I am so glad we had that time to share. You are in our thoughts & prayers. Marion, Gary, & James, our prayers are also with you at this trying time. - - Ken and Sally Worley - -
