As I got ready for the family reunion today I wondered to myself who would be there.

I was pleasantly suprprised to see Kendra - who looks wonderful and is proving to be very strong. She is a wonderful person - I am glad you brought her into our family.

As I watched Dean with his family, I thought how much I see you in his eyes and his actions. He is a wonderful, loving father and husband - you taught him well. He is truly your son and will carry on the family proudly.

Your are greatly missed - especially today when we were all together.

Love - Sherry

Maynard was a great nephew. Many the times he helped my husband and me. We had some good rides in his jeep to and from the airport.

Maynard, you are loved and missed.

Maynard was always A very happy Child, a good student and a loving son. I always knew where he was and could get ahold of him within five minutes if I needed to.

I remember when Maynard and his brother Richard were young, I would dress them up as twins. One particular time Maynard had on a brown jacket and Richard had on a blue jacket. They thought that they would have some fun and they switched jackets. I was chasing after the wrong child and they thought that this was funny.

Maynard had many friends and when they would call with a problem he would do what he could to help out.

Maynard treated his step father Herb Kranz with love and respect.

Maynard was a loving son and will be greatly missed.

I knew Maynard from work. I'm Jeannie Dahm's daughter. I think of how Maynard impacted my life on most days. He was a genuinely perfect human being. He was always truly interested in stuff I talked about. Anything I mentioned, he would come into work the next day with an article or picture or internet website for me to check out concerning what I had been talking about. He was like that with everyone. He treated my kids like they were his own grandkids....always giving me things for them, clothes, toys, candy, etc. I can't say enough about him. He was FUNNY and interesting. In a nutshell, Maynard was a good person to work with and an even better friend. Always talked about his family. If anyone wants to hear any funny stories that I have of him, you can certainly e-mail me at [email protected]. God Bless you all, and my prayers are with you and Maynard.

The reality of your death is starting to sink in. I have been trying to stay busy and not think about it. I have been pretending it is all a dream and when I wake up I can give you a call.

I miss you so much. I know now what you were telling me the last night we talked. I wish I would have skipped work and went to see you at the hospital, You should not have been alone.

Jeanie called mom and said she found some of your tools in her tool box. I remember you and I talking about where to find one for Jeanie to have, so I told mom to tell Jeanie she could keep it if she could use it.

We all love you and miss you a lot.

I am so glad that you are not suffering anymore!

Love,

Dean

Sometimes death is a hard thing. We always ask ourselves questions that we can't answer. I know that is how it is with me. Maynard and I were close when we grew up but lost track of each other as we grew up. I have many good memories of being together in Canby.

I cannot begin to tell you how incredibly sorry I was to hear when Maynard got diagnosed. I will always remember him as my cousin who drove Jeeps and only Jeeps. I always wanted to be like him with my vehicles and finally lived up to his expectations - we purchased a Jeep in March of this year. I think he would be proud of the fact he was so inspiring to all of us. He was a wonderful guy and will miss him deeply. Know that you are all in our thoughts and prayers. Love much - Sherry and Doug Olson

I wanted to send you my thoughts and prayers. I'm so sorry I couldn't make it to the funeral. I still remember when I had a doctor's appointment in the Cities when I was in high school. Maynard met Mom and me at the bus station - in his Jeep of course - and took us where we needed to go. Just the kind of guy he was.

Dear Kendra and family,

Wish I could have made it to the funeral but weather was just too icky.

Know that you are in my Prayers. I will always think of Maynard as my always available ride to the airport or from the airport to your place to spend the night. You always so graciously opened your door to me. I will miss the jokes Maynard sent but maybe Dean will send me a few.

Take care. You have my love. Shirley

I am still in shock and can not believe that this has really happened. I keep expecting to get a phone call from you at night asking how things went that day.

I was so sad these last few days, but hearing all the great stories of your life and seeing how many lives you have touched helped ease the pain a bit.

You sacrificed a lot to help me in my time of need and I only wish that I could have done more to help you in yours.

Your death is so hard to accept, but I am just glad that you are not suffering anymore.

I will do my best to honor you and your memory. I will always be here for the family.

I wish I would have told you how much I loved you!

Dean

Kendra and family,

I was so sorry to hear about Maynard. I am sorry I can not be at the wake tonight, but know that I will be thinking of you long after these next few days pass. Maynard was such a sweet man, he can never be forgotten. Take care of yourselves during this time and accept all the hugs that are given. Know people care and wish only the best for you in the days ahead.

Love to all~
