    Royce did so much for the Caleodnia community ranging from supporting the Caledonia fire department, the Caledonia Conservancy Land Trust , the Caledonia Historical Society, and planting all of the trees on their property. He was a lover of the land and always improving the environment we live in. Royce always had the time to sit down with me to talk about the land and the trees. He will be missed, but his legacy lives on in preserving their land.

    I am saddened to hear of Royse’s passing (and regretful that I have heard so late). He always seemed immortal to me, always with a quick, witty response and sly smile whenever I worked with him. He and Barbara showed nothing but kindness to my family and me. RIP Royse.

    I know this appears quite late but I never had the opportunity to tell Royce goodbye. He would visit with us often on his 4 wheeler when he was caring for his land. Often he would return items the wind blew from our property to his driving right up to our front door. I know he looks down at the beautiful color of all his trees he cared for. We miss you as our friend & neighbor Royce.
    Our sympathy to the family

Testimonials

October 9, 2020

I would like to thank Mike Langendorf, Bill Althaus and the rest of the staff for the wonderful celebration of the life for my father Raymond L. Szymanski who was a WWII veteran. I especially appreciate how much you really listen and the questions you asked regarding who my father was and what he was all about. Those details showed up in every part of the service from the flowers, the music, the thank you’s, pictures, obituary, outdoor military honors, etc. etc. My father would have been so grateful for the way you honored his life. I also received phone calls from family and friends indicating how beautiful the service was in every way. You and your staff definitely go above and beyond. You treat everyone like family and your compassion is so genuine. There should be more people in the world just like all of you. No words can express our gratitude for all you have done for myself, my father and our family. Thank you so very much and may the Lord bless you and yours! Sincerely Terri Carls and the Szymanski Family

Theresa Lynn Carls
