What a sweet man. We will miss those blue eyes big smile and sweet nature. One of my very favorite family members when I joined the Bierle/Mutchler/Murray clan. Our hearts ache and go out to you Kathy. Let us know if there is something we can do for you.

When Bob married my best friend, Kathy, he became my best friend, too. And when my husband was alive, we were often a foursome. Bob and I attended USD at the same time, but we had never met.....both good South Dakotans!
Kathy you are in my heart and prayers and Bob you will be greatly missed by many. Your friend always, Jan Stephens, Rapid City, SD
