    Brenda and Curt I am so sorry for your loss. I’ve known Red my whole life and spent many hours with him while he and my dad would “shoot the sh$!” as they would say. I will not be able to attend. My mom Betty says she’ll be thinking of you.

    Red was a unique individual. He had many interests hunting, fishing, cars. He was a dedicated family man and terrific father. Red was loving and caring; blessed to be one of the few to make sure everyone was treated right; fairly and honestly and with respect. He loved practical jokes and liked to have fun. Others have gone before him and some will not be able to attend so I send their condolences & prayers for your family..
    Red has gone home, he is at rest and peace.

    dearly. We will keep your family in our thoughts and prayers. I have a lot of great memories of (Red) I will hold onto.

    I am sorry for your loss of Larry, I really enjoyed when he drove us in Lucy’s car to do karaoke, and to come to my karaoke gigs. I thought a lot of him. I am sorry with the time frame for the calling/funeral I won’t be able to attend, but want all of you to know that I am praying for you and your families.

    Sorry to hear. We remember fun times at Ike’s and how much we appreciated his help plumbing our bathroom at our party house.

    I served with Larry in The National Guard. He was very good at what he did, recruiting at the time. The man taught me a lot, not only about recruiting but people! So sorry for your loss. My prayers go up for each of you left behind.

    Bless You
