Joyce my deepest sympathay goes out to you and your family. I worked at Costco in the pharmacy and enjoyed having you both as customers. I always enjoyed having Myron pick on me and he allowed me to pick back, he made my days easier. I was so shocked and saddened to see Myron's passing. You have been in my thoughts and prayers.

I have known you both for a couple of years, I will miss him a lot. Working up at Hy-Vee, you meet a lot of people...Myron was one of a kind. He was the only one that would come into the produce department and move my cart, I would turn around...only to see him glaring around a corner or endcap to see my reaction. I will miss that a lot as I will miss him too. I wish I had known sooner...my prayers are with you and your family... God Bless.

Myron was such a gentleman. Always willing to assist. I worked with Myron at TWA.

I worked with Myron at TWA. We called him "Chief". I looked up to Myron. There wasn't much in the world that he didn't have an opinion on, and he was not so bashful that he wasn't willing to share it with you. Myron was a good man whose very fabric was weaved with truth, honesty and common sense. Myron, I will miss you.

Uncle Myron was always extra special. His death will leave a tremendous void in our lives, but God has given us many wonderful memories to remember how he touched all of our lives. We love you! Pamela and Peggy:

Myron was not only my cousin. He was more like a brother. I would complain about something and he would agree and laugh with me. He will be sorely missed by me but I know that now there will be no more suffering for him. God bless his spirit and God Bless Joyce as she continues without him
