May the Peace of Jesus Christ be with all of you. Pastor Duane HOven
Enjoyed many rounds of golf with Kent. Never could convince him to use more club on 18 at Northern. Thinking of the family at this time.
what a great guy, we had so much fun together it was because of him that Shirley and me wound up in The Villages here in Florida he was a great person I’ll miss him and the coffee we had at the HyVee. My prayers are with the family
