He subsequently ran for, and was elected to, the Iola City Council serving two terms.
Humble, kind, and beloved by both family and community, his passing leaves a void in the hearts of many. Please join us on Saturday, Feb. 3, 2024, at 1 p.m. at Wesely United Methodist Church in Iola to celebrate the man he was.
In lieu of flowers or gifts, the family asks for memorial donations to either the Allen County Animal Rescue Facility (ACARF) or to St. Jude’s Childrens Research Hospital.
