One of the finest men – loving, kind, always ready to help.  Our historian, he taught us so much about the area.  Always quick with a joke, he kept us all laughing.  He was loved and will be dearly missed by all.  Until we meet again …

He was preceded in death by his son Byron Clifford and daughter Misti Juel.  He is survived by his sister Eva Joyce Ledlow, and a slew of nieces and nephews.
