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

Rosemary Walt, age 83, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, November 22, 2022.&nbsp;

Rosemary was born near Quinter, KS on August 23, 1939, to Anton and Rosalia (Giebler) Dinkel. She was the youngest of eleven children. When she was young, her family moved to a farm north of Collyer. Growing up on the farm, she learned to garden, which she still loved. Her mother taught her to crochet. She spent many hours crocheting afghans. All her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren have one to remember her by. The last few years, she crocheted several stuffed animals for her great-grandkids. She was an excellent cook. We enjoyed many delicious meals, especially at the holidays.&nbsp;

Rosemary attended school in Collyer, where she graduated salutatorian of her class in 1957. After high school, she worked at the Coop in Collyer as a bookkeeper. She married Ted Walt, Jr on October 7, 1961, at Saint Michael's Catholic Church in Collyer. They had three children, Larry, Terry and Patty. They were lifelong residents of Collyer.&nbsp;

Ted and Rosemary opened Walt's Repair in 1963 where she worked as the secretary and bookkeeper until she retired in 1996. After her retirement, she frequently helped Ted on the farm. They also enjoyed training bird dogs. They loved traveling to competitions and controlled hunts with their dogs. For many years, Rosemary and her sister Rosalie made custom cakes ranging from small, simple cakes to large, elaborate wedding cakes.&nbsp;

Rosemary was a member of Saint Michael's Alter Society, the American Legion Auxiliary and Gove County Medical Center Ladies Auxiliary, where she volunteered at the gift shop for several years.&nbsp;

Rosemary's greatest joy was her family. She was thrilled to have her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren living near or in Collyer. She had a unique relationship with each of us and loved unconditionally. She especially loved having her great-grandkids come to visit.&nbsp;

Rosemary was preceded in death by her parents, husband Ted, siblings Paul, Bertha, Leo, Beata, Marcella, Don, Rosalie, Alvin and Clarence.
