My deepest condolences to the entire family. Keith was a good friend to Mom & Dad. When he was able to drive he made time to visit with old friends. He was such a nice man. You are all in my thoughts and prayers at this sad time.

Steve, I've heard you speak of your Dad on many occasions when we got together for lunch. He sounded like a great man, and you spoke of him with love and affection. 99 is a very long time to spend on this earth and I would guess you have so many remembrances of him and your Mom. Please let me know when the celebration of life will be held, I would like to attend in his honor. In this time of sorrow, Jo and I hope you still can have a Merry Christmas.

Dearest Barb and Neal. So sorry to read about the loss of your father in law and father. He lived a long life and prayers it was wonderful. Cliff and I have an Aunt left in Northwood, Iowa and she will be 100 years old in February 2024. I have always thought about you over all the years and prayers you have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Years. Give Neal a big hug. Love to you both. Cliff and Elaine Anderson
