Due to Covid restrictions, there will be a private family service on Tuesday, November 24th.
A special thank you goes out to the Cedar Valley Hospice Nurses Madisen and Missy who took excellent care of him in these last days and also to his neighbors Stacy, Rick, Jan, John and Sharon for stepping in to keep dad company and for listening to all of his jokes and stories when we (kids) were not around.
Memorials in lieu of flowers may be directed to the family or Walnut Ridge Baptist Church.
