Ervin Becker

Dear Friends, I check the Jamestown Sun online often and was so shocked to see your fathers name there this morning. My parents always considered Erwin and Lenora one of their best neighbors and how we all enjoyed visiting at your parents home. Of course there were all the years we went to school together and played baseball at recess almost to the kill. It seemed hard to believe he was 90, My heart goes out to all of you, give your mom a hug, we all loved you lots, even though we didn't get to see each other after we left Ketterling #1. It is the passing of another great great era there in Streeter. Marlene

This world has truly lost a gentle man! I remember so well, from my sleepovers with my "best friend Donna", the busy household Lenora and Ervin had, but Ervin always seemed to handle with grace his very active young boys! From gentlman farmer to retiree he was a man who enjoyed his family and in later years his many rounds of golf in sunny Arizona. He will be missed no doubt, but give thanks to God for sharing him with you for his 90 years. God's Blessings to you Lenora and your entire family during this time of loss. Linda (Dewald) Mindt

Ervin was my good friend. he was really a good person

We were shocked and saddened to hear of Irvin's death. Irvin was my Sunday School teacher many years ago. How well I remember the beads of sweat on his forehead as he was teaching, he always felt he was not qualified. If only he knew what an impact that humility had on me. It spoke volumes about his character. The adjectives that come to mind; humble, witty, vibrant. And as Rickie said at their 50th wedding anniversary, 'Dad taught us how to love and treat women' That was always so obvious in Irvin and Lenora's life.Irvin was a spiritual giant. A Chinese proverb says it well: 'A life is never ended until all the lives it has touched have ended too.'

We are so sorry to here about the loss of Mr.Becker. He was my Aunt Donna's father. What a lucky man to live 90 wonderful years and raise such a wonderful family.He will be greatly missed.God bless
