Keith and Michelle, my deepest sympathies to you. I had your Dad as a math teacher in JH at Monango. He was a good teacher and a very nice man. Let God wrap his loving arms around you during this challenging time.Connie (Gebhardt) Courtney.

Tom announced the 4-H Poultry and Rabbit show several times over the last 8 years that I have been running it. He loved it and did such a wonderful job - often explaining things so the audience understood what was going on. He announced for us this year on June 30th and again did a great job for us. The Stutsman County 4-H sends prayers and sympathies to his family. It was wonderful working with him and helping out 4-H. Robin Barnes, Stutsman County 4-H Program Coordinator
