I knew Myron and his family through church membership. He always seemed quiet and reserved until a conversation started. Then I soon realized Myron and Evelyn were cut from the same cloth. I believe that I had my first horse ride in Vic and Mae's barnyard back in the 1950's by Myron. To Jean and all the kids, your Husband, Dad and Granddad will be sorely missed. Please accept my sincere condolence.
