Randolph Veryl "Randy (Maynard)" Dannar

I, Randolph "Randy" (Maynard) Veryl Dannar, began my journey here on earth Dec. 4, 1961, and began my new adventure into heaven 49 years later on March 7, 2011. I will live on in those that I leave behind; the greatest joys of my life; wife, Lori (Annen) of 28 years, daughter Mandy and her husband Kyle Brice; son Ryan and his wife Katie Dannar; father Veryl Dannar, father and mother-in-law Darrel and Janice Annen, brother and sister-in-law Nick and Tammy Dannar, brother and sister-in-law John and Carolyn Annen, niece Melissa Annen and her children Kinzee, Maddie and Payton Swanson all of Hemingford, my friends, co-workers and community.
My mother, Sheron Dannar, preceded me in death, along with my maternal and paternal grandparents.
I worked at the Hemingford Co-operative Telephone Company since 1978 starting at the bottom and working my way up to Co-manager. I volunteered for the Hemingford Volunteer Fire Department for 25 years. Both were a very important part of my life. I enjoyed farming for many years on my off time with my brother for Bob Elliott. Later in life I became known as the "jack man" on the CPR Racing Team (Bob, Carolyn, Trent and Todd Phillips). Many will tell you that the United Methodist Church basement came alive when I would help out, I even made washing dishes fun. No matter what I did, I gave it my all and enjoyed what I was doing. Most will remember me by my laugh, it was contagious and one couldn't help but laugh along. I tremendously enjoyed riding four wheelers and hunting with family and friends. Thank you for a wonderful life!!!
Cancer did not determine his final days on this earth!! Cremation has taken place.
