Rick and Georgia Fleming says
So sorry, our thoughts and prayers are with you all. I still remember water skiing on Shawano Lake and as a kid when Stan and Ruth came to the farm we always had a holiday. Lee working for the summer baling hay always made the work more fun. Great memories of great people.
Our deepest sympathy.
One question Dad (Robert / Ruth’s brother) always asked is why they would buy a whole beef and have it all ground into hamburger?? Stan always answered all steak is hamburger at the end of the day so why wait !!
Loving memories never forgotten.
