We are so sorry to hear about the passing of your father. He was a very dear friend, we loved spending time with him and hearing his stories. Our mother, Bea, will miss him and their time watching birds together. In loving memories, Bea and Family

Dennis and David, I'm so sorry to hear about your Dad. He brought you two out to the farm a few times when you were quite little. I know that he and my Dad will resume their conversations in Heaven. I really enjoyed our Facebook exchanges and always had deep respect for his knowledge. When we still lived in Topeka he made a point to come and visit. Great man who will be missed! In loving memories, Kelly Cotton Langer
