Condolence: To all the Utesch family, I am so sorry to hear of your dad's passing. He was a very kind man as is all of your family.I wish to extend my deepest sympathy to all of you. May God comfort and bless you now and always.

Condolence: My deepest sympathy to Rons family. I worked with Ron at Prime for awhile and he was always a joy to be around! So many storied to tell and neat things to see in his apartment. Your in my prayers!

Condolence: Joni, Greg, Mark, & John--my deepest sympathy to you all. Your parents were very special to me and to my parents (Allen & Wilma Wernli) since we were next door neighbors in the 60's. I have fond memories of our BBQ's (your dad always burned the chicken) and playing volley ball in your back yard. I was able to visit with your dad shortly after your mom passed away. He was struggling with Parkinsons Disease but managed to make it to the Noteables Dance to see me and to show me pictures of Helen taken a few days before she passed away. They were both truly special people who will be deeply missed. May God bless and keep you in his loving arms during this difficult time. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Barb

Condolence: Joni,Greg, Mark and John,
You have been a special part of our family just as your parents were for so many years.
We are sorry not to be with you, but know that you understand distance is just too great.
We hope that perhaps you will also be able to attend the LeMars High School function on July 7 at the old gym. Then we could give you the hugs that we want to give you today.
Your Dad had sooooo many friends!! They all thought soo much of him and shared their time and talents with him in what ever his need. Not everyone is so blessed.
We will be thinking of you on Wednesday and the days to come when you will be really missing him. If you need to talk give us a call.
Love you forever, Alice and Gene

Condolence: Greg and Barb and family: Our sincere sympathy to you. You are thoughts and prayers.

Condolence: My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. I have fond memories of friendship with you and your parents. God bless you all!

Condolence: Dear Joni and Family,
To all of you, you are in my thoughts and prayers.
Joni, I have had the pleasure of knowing your Dad pretty much since we were young girls attending both church and school together. What I should have told you when your Mom passed that I will say now about both of your parents is how much I appreciated the kindness that they always showed to me. Growing up in the challenging blended family that I did, I very much looked up to and respected your parents and family unit. So, thank you to both your Dad and your Mom. Barb Newhouse

Condolence: My deepest sympathy. You are in my prayers.
