Rich and Irene, My brother, James, sent us an e mail that your Dad had passed away, Rich, we didn't know your parents but know he was well respected by his friends, neighbors, and business friends. He did well after his stroke, it was a blessing for him and your Mom. Don had his stroke in 1998 and was 80 in February, and thankfully still at home. God bless you all with wonderful memories of your parents.

Our sympathy to all of you family at the passing of your father. Years ago, Richard came into our lives, without our planning or asking and helped us in a big way that is still benefitting us today. It was a real serendipity! It was in 1977, a very dry year. Bear Creek was dry. Our old farm pond had silted in and completely dried up. Ellis was hauling water for the cattle from Earlham, dumping it into an old dry well and hand pumping it out as needed for the cattle. One day Ellis was doing an outside carpentry project for Jerry Kuehn when Richard came along and stopped to visit. He had just completed machine work for Ralph Stanley and decided to go on north to see the home where he had grown up. During this visit, Ellis told Richard about our need for livestock water. Richard said since he had his machinery in the area, he could do a little work on our pond for a small fee. He also knew there had been a government program to help rural people with pond improvement that might still be available. He started work on our pond right away. We did get some government funds so were able to hire Richard to do a complete renovation of the pond. He worked quickly and efficiently and left one evening, essentially done, but coming back in the morning to complete a few details and take his machinery. During the night it rained and rained and rained! Our "new" pond began to fill and our cattle have had a good source of water ever since! The timing of the whole project was perfect. We are continually thankful for Richard's job so well done. May your memories give you comfort through this lonely time. Ellis and Winifred Standing

Cheryl and Richard, I know today starts a long journey of saying good bye to your father. Mom and dad spent a lot of time with your folks. As did I at your home. We are unable to attend, as dad is in the hospital in North Kansas City and Larry's sister is having surgery today for cancer. My best wishes, thoughts and prayers to all the family. Dodie
