John Richard Stiles, 76, of Fairbury, Illinois, passed away at 1:24 pm, Friday, November 25, 2022, at McLean County Nursing Home, Normal, Illinois.

Cremation
 rites have been accorded with a family celebration of his life at a 
later date.  Duffy-Pils Memorial Home, Fairbury, is in charge of 
arrangements. Memorial contributions in John’s name may be directed to 
St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

John
 was born November 6, 1946, in Galesburg, Illinois, the son of John E. and Shirley 
A. (Paden) Stiles. He married Linda Davis on May 18, 1999, in Pontiac, Illinois. 
His wife, Linda survives.  His parents and two sisters, Carol Anne 
Stiles and Mary Beth Colburn preceded him in death.

Other
 survivors include, two daughters, Lori Shannon (Jason) Schwarm of 
Bettendorf, IA; Carrie Anne (Brent) Sample of Urbandale, IA; two 
step-sons, Otis Smith of Wellston, OH; Rick Murray of Cropsey; one 
brother, Mark (Kathy) Stiles of Hurst, TX; and five grandchildren, Jacob
 Schwarm, Emma Schwarm, Sara Sample, Ryan Sample, Brandon Smith.

Mr.
 Stiles served our country in Vietnam in the US Army, 101st Airborne and
 received a medal of commendation. He graduated from Western Illinois 
University with a degree in political science. He began his career in 
journalism in 1971 at the Macomb Daily Journal. Over the span of 44 
years, he worked at multiple newspapers in Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, New 
Mexico, and Texas. He worked every job in the newspaper business, 
including sports writer, investigative reporter, assistant editor, 
editor, and general manager. He received numerous awards for his 
outstanding journalism. He never called it a job. There was nothing he 
loved more than the newsroom and all the people in it. He often said, “I
 am not the best speller, or even the best writer, but I am the best 
newspaperman in the room."&nbsp;

To some he mentored, he will always be considered the best editor. He left an indelible mark on journalism in Hays and western Kansas — even if he never knew it.&nbsp;

John
 loved baseball and handed down the art of scorekeeping to his 
daughters. He was an avid runner for years and completed 2 marathons. He
 mocked golf for most of his life until he finally fell in love with it.
 He was thrilled to be able to golf at St. Andrews. He was a proud 
grandpa. Papa Rich was always the loudest fan at Jacob’s wrestling 
matches, Emma’s volleyball and cross country, Sara’s band performances, 
and Ryan’s cross country and baseball games. He was one of a kind and 
left a lasting impression everywhere he went. He will be truly missed by
 so many.

Sandra 'Sandy' Louise Neely

Father, brother, husband, grandfather and great-grandfather are but a 
few words to describe Bob. He touched countless lives during his time 
here on Earth. 
Robert Clayton Fox was born in Satanta, Kansas, on November 17, 1934, to William J. Fox and Enola Ruth Thompson Fox. 
Bob attended grade school and graduated from high school in Moscow, 
Kansas, in the Spring of 1952. He was raised on the family farm and, 
upon graduation, began a lifetime career of farming in Southwest Kansas.
 With generous help, he farmed as long as he lived. In 1961, he 
established Fox Sales and Service where he sold and service implement 
and irrigation motors. 
After dating Paula J. Chaffin for several years, Bob asked the love of 
his life to marry him. They were married on a rainy evening in 
September of 1955 and enjoyed 61 years of marriage prior to Paula’s 
death in 2017; although, a true love story never ends. 
Several years later, he became a father to Lisa and Eric. Cassie, 
Christian, Gabby and Max called him Grandpa and, to Emmett, Reese and 
Olivia, he was great-grandpa. 
His vision of vacation was fishing and camping. His hand constructed 
wooden camper on the bed of the farm pickup would always suffice as we 
wandered to the mountains in Southwestern Colorado before school and 
corn harvest started. He enjoyed numerous fishing trips to Alaska and 
Canada with friends. 
For many years, Del Rio, Texas, was his winter home resulting in 
wonderful friends, fishing and memories. Each year, they left a little 
earlier and returned a little later. 
In 1946, Bob joined Boy Scouts and invested 76 years of his time and 
energy to being a scout leader as well as multiple leadership positions 
within the Santa Fe Trail Council. Bob was instrumental in establishing 
the Spanish Peaks Boy Scout Camp in Southern Colorado and shared his 
camping and fishing skills with many at the camp. In time, he would 
attend the International Boy Scout Jamboree in Australia as a Scout 
Master. 
Bob is survived by his son, Eric and his wife Gina of Rockwall, Texas, 
and daughter, Lisa and her husband Randy of Colby, Kansas. He is also 
survived by his grandchildren: Cassie Cole, Christian Wilson, Gabrielle 
Wilson and Max Fox, as well his great grandchildren: Emmett Cole, Reese 
Cole and Olivia Wilson. 
Funeral service will be 2:00 PM on Saturday, December 10, 2022, at the 
Moscow Christian Fellowship Church in Moscow, Kansas, with Patty Lahey 
officiating. Interment will follow at the Moscow Cemetery. Visitation 
will be Friday, December 9, 2022, from 2:00 PM until 8:00 PM at Garnand 
Funeral Home, 920 E. 11th St. in Hugoton.

 Memorial contributions may be
 given to the Satanta District Hospital or Moscow Christian Fellowship 
Church in care of Garnand Funeral Home, 920 E. 11th St. Hugoton, KS  
67951.  Condolences may be posted at www.garnandfuneralhomes.com.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;
