February 16, 2022 at 6:58 pmTo Bub’s Family,
I’m so sorry to hear of this dear mans passing.
Our families have always been intertwined since Bub and my dad Paul were kids growing up in Mapleton. They remained good friends up until my dad died in 1972.
Alison “Tootsie” was my little friend and her death when we were 5yrs old was my first experience of loss. The boys and Ann are the ages of my younger sisters having grown up with them.
I remember Bub being a kind, quiet and gentle man.
I feel we were truly blessed to have known him and his family.
My thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this difficult time.
May God Bless you.

February 17, 2022 at 2:17 pmVery sad to hear of Grandpa passing away. I’m not currently in the country so will not be able to attend the funeral but wanted the family to know you are in my thoughts and prayers. Looking forward to the day when God’s promise of a resurrection is realized and Grandpa is brought back to life again. Job 14:14, 15 – “If a man dies, can he live again? I will wait all the days of my compulsory service until my relief comes. You will call, and I will answer you. You will long for the work of your hands.”
