Guestbook

  1. Thanks for all the kind words about my father, he was a great man, and will be deeply missed. My mom needs encouragement to stand on her own, and not be controlled by those seeking access to her estate for personal gain. Please stand by her, I believe she is capable of doing this.

  2. Evert and I met each other in the 6th grade at Lincoln grade school in Pittburg Ks. We became good freinds on through High School and remained good freinds from then on although we didnt keep in tough for the last 30 years. I have many wonderful memories of all the things we did growing up. I am sorry Glennice for you and your childrens loss. Evert and I are both 81 and I also feel his loss. Art West

  3. So sorry to hear about uncle Evert. We just found out. Sister Jan sent me the link to his obit. Our thoughts are with you. Lou and Joanne Braden, Pueblo, Colorado

  4. So sorry to hear about Uncle Evert, he was a great guy, so smart in his profession and in life. He will be greatly missed by all.

  5. Aunt Glennice, Shelley, Brian and your families, you are in our thoughts and prays. I have many wonderful memories of Uncle Evert.

  6. I am sorry to hear about Uncle Charles. I don’t remember meeting him but Mom and Dad talked about him. I am the youngest girl of Gilbert and Angie. Again I am very sorry about your loss, I will be praying for the family.

  7. Evert was a very close friend. More than that, he guided me on the right path of life when I was a young teenager struggling with ‘right’ and ‘wrong’. We had many common interests, and though we lived far apart, we enjoyed regular discussions on the phone for more than 50 years. I will miss him. He was a very positive and upbeat person, and often told me ‘… how lucky I am even with all the pain I have had to deal with the last several years!’ Carolyn and I will continue to talk with Glennice and stop to visit with her on our trips back there. Francis Mason

  8. You are all in my thoughts. I have so many wonderful memories of Uncle Evert. I especially remember his quick wit and how easily he laughed. He was the best!

  9. Sad for those of us left behind, but so glad Evert is free to fly & doesn’t have to deal with a pained body anymore. I’m sorry for the loss of this great guy. Brilliant man with a brilliant mind and fun too. Love to the family: Auntie Glennice, Shelley, Brian and spouses and children
