I am so sorry for the loss of Bill, a kind and gentle good man. I knew when Joyce died that
he was hurting so very much and hoped to help him adjust to that loss. We talked on the phone often and often talked of our High School days.
Know there are many who will miss him so very much and I will too.

So many good memories from our years as neighbors, your dad teaching me the difference between sows, gilts and lots of other things I'd need to know. Your folks were always so kind.We laughed a lot together too. I'm so sorry I'm in NM and won't able to attend services. Know that my prayers are with you both Debbie and Rodger, and your families.

Dear Deb & Scott,
We've been thinking about you and your family every day and praying for your peace at this most difficult time. I have fond memories of times spent with your Mom & Dad, both at their farm and at your house. I truly enjoyed visiting with both of them and I recall one occasion when your Dad showed me and gave me a detailed history of his mug collection. We have always enjoyed hearing from him at Christmas and we will continue to fondly remember him every year at this time. I am sure that over the years you have brought great comfort and joy to your father with the thoughtfulness and assistance that you gave to him with your many visits to the farm. Please extend our condolences to Roger, Stephanie and their family. Rest in peace, Bill, as you are re-united with Joyce, your loving wife in heaven.

Dear Family,
I would like to send my condolences. It can be extremely difficult to lose a loved one. That is why I wanted to share the hope found in the bible, the hope of the resurrection. Jesus stated at John 5:28,29 "The hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will come out." And at Revelation 21:3,4 it states that there will be a time when "...death will be no more."
These scriptures give us hope for the future as respects to our dead loved ones. Those scriptures have brought comfort to me and I hope it does the same for your family.
With Love,
Tony

Deb and Rodger, so sorry for your loss. I remember your dad clear back when we were going to Wildermuth School. He had to bring Deb to school because the roads were so bad the school bus couldn't get through. All the neighborhood club potlucks and shelling corn at Uncle Buzz"s . He was a very special person with a good sense of humor. He will be missed.

Debbie & Rodger and families, we are sad to hear of Bill's passing. I always enjoyed visiting with Bill throughout my life. I can remember a lot of fun times at the Rickman's, not only family but great neighbors. Rides home on the tractor when the bus could not get through in the snow, but Bill would get us home. He always had a smile and a laugh to make you feel great. Our prayers are with you during this time. With Love and understanding, Julie and family.

Deb and family, we were saddened to hear of your dad's passing. He lived and died on the land he loved and in his home which held so many happy, family memories. You were a devoted daughter and I'm sure a comfort always for him. We wish you peace knowing this.
