Dana & Daniel Connors - the "Iowa Guys"
November 27, 2023
We first meet Jimmy "DOC" some 20+ years ago and although we only saw each other once a year, it was always memorable and fun. We met at Cats Incredible catfishing tournament where he and his bother Larry were very well respected competitors, and in our minds one of the teams to beat, as they always seemed to be at the top of the leader board. Over the years they became friends and we'll always remember the great times! So long my friend, rest easy now, in the arms of our Lord.

Dr Yowell delivered my youngest child (who is 43 now) and I eventually worked with him in his medical practice for 17 years. He was a great friend and I´m so lucky to have known him and Carol Jeff and Delaine. He will be so missed.
