David Jon Gilgenbach

Beloved husband, father, and family man Charles K. “Chuck” Reinert 
passed peacefully on July 1, 2022. Chuck’s life is the ‘Vision Quest’ of
 a man who loved his family, his community, his nation, the Denver 
Broncos, the sport of wrestling, and his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. 
Chuck was born in Pueblo, CO on May 13, 1959, to Jim and Terri Reinert. 
Weighing in at more than 11 pounds, Chuck was a heavyweight at birth. He
 began setting records at an early age as the largest baby born in 
Pueblo, a title he held for many years. His childhood was filled with 
birthdays, holidays, and Sunday dinners that always included a slideshow
 at Grandma and Grandpa Reinert's house. This also holds true for 
gatherings with the Cox and Younger families, where Chuck could not get 
enough of the wild west stories of his outlaw relatives, the Younger 
Brothers, and their adventures with Jesse James. 
Chuck’s love for sports became his passion, which led him to excel in 
several sports including football, basketball (yes, basketball!), and 
track. He later became an accomplished wrestler. Chuck could play any 
sport and do it well when he put his mind to it. Some of Chuck’s other 
hobbies included camping in Creede, riding motorcycles, and antagonizing
 his three younger siblings! 
Whatever Chuck did, he did it big. He had a big appetite with a love for
 good food and big portions. The bigger the better, and that is how he 
lived his teenage years. BIG! Chuck’s family thinks he might have 
invented the phrase ‘go big or go home’ 
He attended both Cousino High School in Warren, MI and South High School
 in Pueblo where he graduated in 1977. Chuck was a standout athlete, 
earning state honor recognition in both football and wrestling; named to
 the 1976 2nd Team All State Colorado Football Team, playing in the 1976
 Inaugural Cannon Game between South and East, winning the Cannon for 
South; and taking 3rd place in the Heavyweight division at the 1977 
Colorado AAA State Wrestling Tournament are just some of his athletic 
accolades. Chuck was recruited to play football and attended Garden City
 Community College (GCCC) starting in 1977, helping the team earn 
conference championships in 1978-1979. 
On the western plains of Kansas, he found his sunshine and the love of 
his life, Catherine. Who would have ever imagined Big Old Tough Chuck, 
taking a knee and tapping out when a twinkle from Catherine captured his
 heart. Chuck and Catherine were married in Garden City on June 7, 1982 
and started a family. 
Over the years, Chuck worked for the Kansas Department of 
Transportation, Garden City and Lakin Recreation Commissions, and most 
notably Garden City Community College. There he served as the Williams 
Stadium Superintendent, taking great pride in the quality of the 
facilities and overall experience of the ballpark for athletes, umpires,
 and spectators. While at GCCC he had the honor of serving on the 
coaching staff when the Broncbusters attended the 1999 NJCAA World 
Series. After his retirement, Chuck found a new hobby in radio 
broadcasting, as the color commentator for Holcomb High School 
athletics. For decades, he also dressed as the most authentic Santa ever
 seen, bringing joy to kids at Christmas while spreading the word of the
 Lord, with the story of how the candy cane represents Jesus Christ. 
Chuck Reinert is a household name in Southwest Kansas, known for his 
four decades of officiating high school sports, where he is infamous 
throughout the State of Kansas as a wrestling official. Chuck’s grit and
 determination drove him to achieve distinction, being awarded the 2018 
Eldon Zimbleman Kansas Wrestling Officials Association Award of 
Excellence, the 2007 National Federation of High Schools Officials, 
Kansas Wrestling Official of the Year, and the 2002-2003 and 1993-1994 
Kansas Wrestling Coaches Association Official of the Year. Ask Chuck 
anything about wrestling and then be prepared for a 2-hour dissertation 
of every wrestling match he’d ever officiated. He is the epitome of the 
American Wrestler, knowing victory is only achieved through hard work, 
sweat, blood, and sacrifice. Chuck made us all champions of will, drama,
 and heart. He dedicated his short time on this earth to the service of 
the citizens of Kansas, to be champions of our own destiny. 
Many will remember Chuck as the greatest storyteller of all time. When 
Chuck’s eyebrows raised and his eyes opened wide, his accounts of glory 
days were abound. He could make people laugh and cry at the same time. 
How about those stories of growing up in Colorado, the UFO sightings in 
the Rockies, the Mafia, and the list goes on. And lest not forget his 
text and Facebook posts full of anecdotal wisdom, always ending with 
PRAYN4U! Don’t get him started about the athletic achievements of his 
nephews Cameron Craig and Hunter Reinert. Chuck was the family’s ESPN. 
Chuck will also be remembered for his abilities to shake and bake a 
Kansas hoedown with delicious BBQ, imported Italian sausage from Pueblo,
 green chile, and treats of all sorts. Tents, tables, and chairs would 
appear from nowhere and the fiddle playing would start. Chuck loved to 
prepare his food for others, and it's widely known that Chuck liked his 
food so much, taking thirds was commonplace. Anyone who had breakfast at
 Hannah’s knew to pass the leftovers to Chuck. He’s the man. 
The family is ever endeared to Chuck for helping Cathering care for his 
inlaws Avril and Virgil Criag. He was a good son. And of course marrying
 a Craig girl meant joining the secret society of the Craig 
Brother-in-Law-Hood. The brothers bid farewell with love and respect, 
praying for Chuck and his heavenly reunion with his parents and inlaws. 
In Chuck’s memory, it would be remiss not to remember his love of the 
Lord. The two things that changed the trajectory of Chuck’s life were 
marrying Catherine in 1982 and dedicating his life to Jesus Christ in 
1990. Following Catherine to a little white church, Chuck met Pastor 
Kent Crockett, and made the most important decision of his life, when he
 began his walk with the Lord. 
Now Chuck, no stranger to adversity, fought the ultimate battle with 
cancer. Diagnosed 11 years ago with malignant melanoma, he won the first
 period. Score 1-0. The second period ended in a draw, with 10 years of 
continual examinations and removal of suspicious growths. Score still 
1-0. And finally in the third period, his adversary threw in an 
incapacitating sucker punch, taking down the Gentle Giant. Although the 
match ended with the opponent pinning him, through personal courage and 
example, Chuck fought with all he had until the final whistle. He 
demonstrated how to live and die in those short brief moments, and gave a
 renewed hope to all to overcome individual adversities. 
Everyone will miss Chuck’s endearing smile, hearty laugh, bear hugs, and
 unconditional love of his family and friends. For 63 years, Chuck 
served with honor and glory up until the very last second, refusing to 
go down without a fight. Chuck was loved, but his work on Earth was 
done. There will never be another Chuck Reinert. His never ending story 
of courage will be told to the world for generations to come. Rest easy 
Chuck. 
Chuck is survived by his loving wife of 40 years Catherine (Craig) 
Reinert, and their 3 children Amanda (Chris) Duncan, son Evan (Cori) 
Reinert, and Jayne Reinert; Grandchildren Jeep, Connelly and Delaney 
Duncan, Emerson and Carson Reinert, and Serenity Sanchez; Brother Ed 
(Janette) Reinert, sister Cheryl (Dan) Nelson, sister Lisa Reinert, 
sister Janice (Dan) Laughlin, sister Annette (Chuck) Klein, sister 
Cheryl (Gary) West, sister Denise (Bud) Van Dam, brother Brian Craig, 
sister Nancy (Albert) Gomez, and Pat (Kathy) Craig, step-mother Rietta 
Spinuzzi, lifelong family friends Ernie and Gwen Sittaro, and a large 
extended family of nieces, nephews, aunt, uncles, and cousins. He was 
preceded in death by his parents, his step-father Vic Zupancic, and his 
in-laws. 
Chuck’s family expresses sincere gratitude to Dr. Joseph Moore and the 
staff at the Cancer Center of Kansas, Dr. Thomas Haggerty and the staff 
at Heartland Cancer Center, the staff of the Hospice of St. Catherine 
and the Ranch House for the compassionate, dignified care given to Chuck
 during his fight against cancer. 
A celebration of Chuck’s life will be held at 4:00 pm on July 9, 2022 at
 Holcomb High School Gymnasium, 600 N Jones Ave in Holcomb, KS. In true 
sports fan fashion, Chuck’s family requests the following athletic 
attire for those attending the celebration: Those who officiated with 
Chuck should wear their sport’s uniform and whistle; others are 
encouraged to wear their team gear or school colors, anyone is welcome 
to wear Chuck’s favorite Denver Bronco orange and blue, or their second 
favorite team’s apparel. Let’s fill the gym in a final celebration for 
Chuck. 
The service will also be live streamed on Garnand Funeral Home’s 
Facebook page.

Condolences may be posted at www.garnandfuneralhomes.com.
 In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to the Chuck Reinert 
Memorial Fund, for his grandchildren’s education, in care of Garnand 
Funeral Home, 412 N 7th Street, Garden City, KS 67846. A private family 
burial will take place at a later date.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;

Stadium Superintendent, taking great pride in the quality of the 
facilities and overall experience of the ballpark for athletes, umpires,
 and spectators. While at GCCC he had the honor of serving on the 
coaching staff when the Broncbusters attended the 1999 NJCAA World 
Series. After his retirement, Chuck found a new hobby in radio 
broadcasting, as the color commentator for Holcomb High School 
athletics. For decades, he also dressed as the most authentic Santa ever
 seen, bringing joy to kids at Christmas while spreading the word of the
 Lord, with the story of how the candy cane represents Jesus Christ. 
Chuck Reinert is a household name in Southwest Kansas, known for his 
four decades of officiating high school sports, where he is infamous 
throughout the State of Kansas as a wrestling official. Chuck’s grit and
 determination drove him to achieve distinction, being awarded the 2018 
Eldon Zimbleman Kansas Wrestling Officials Association Award of 
Excellence, the 2007 National Federation of High Schools Officials, 
Kansas Wrestling Official of the Year, and the 2002-2003 and 1993-1994 
Kansas Wrestling Coaches Association Official of the Year. Ask Chuck 
anything about wrestling and then be prepared for a 2-hour dissertation 
of every wrestling match he’d ever officiated. He is the epitome of the 
American Wrestler, knowing victory is only achieved through hard work, 
sweat, blood, and sacrifice. Chuck made us all champions of will, drama,
 and heart. He dedicated his short time on this earth to the service of 
the citizens of Kansas, to be champions of our own destiny. 
Many will remember Chuck as the greatest storyteller of all time. When 
Chuck’s eyebrows raised and his eyes opened wide, his accounts of glory 
days were abound. He could make people laugh and cry at the same time. 
How about those stories of growing up in Colorado, the UFO sightings in 
the Rockies, the Mafia, and the list goes on. And lest not forget his 
text and Facebook posts full of anecdotal wisdom, always ending with 
PRAYN4U! Don’t get him started about the athletic achievements of his 
nephews Cameron Craig and Hunter Reinert. Chuck was the family’s ESPN. 
Chuck will also be remembered for his abilities to shake and bake a 
Kansas hoedown with delicious BBQ, imported Italian sausage from Pueblo,
 green chile, and treats of all sorts. Tents, tables, and chairs would 
appear from nowhere and the fiddle playing would start. Chuck loved to 
prepare his food for others, and it's widely known that Chuck liked his 
food so much, taking thirds was commonplace. Anyone who had breakfast at
 Hannah’s knew to pass the leftovers to Chuck. He’s the man. 
The family is ever endeared to Chuck for helping Cathering care for his 
inlaws Avril and Virgil Criag. He was a good son. And of course marrying
 a Craig girl meant joining the secret society of the Craig 
Brother-in-Law-Hood. The brothers bid farewell with love and respect, 
praying for Chuck and his heavenly reunion with his parents and inlaws. 
In Chuck’s memory, it would be remiss not to remember his love of the 
Lord. The two things that changed the trajectory of Chuck’s life were 
marrying Catherine in 1982 and dedicating his life to Jesus Christ in 
1990. Following Catherine to a little white church, Chuck met Pastor 
Kent Crockett, and made the most important decision of his life, when he
 began his walk with the Lord. 
Now Chuck, no stranger to adversity, fought the ultimate battle with 
cancer. Diagnosed 11 years ago with malignant melanoma, he won the first
 period. Score 1-0. The second period ended in a draw, with 10 years of 
continual examinations and removal of suspicious growths. Score still 
1-0. And finally in the third period, his adversary threw in an 
incapacitating sucker punch, taking down the Gentle Giant. Although the 
match ended with the opponent pinning him, through personal courage and 
example, Chuck fought with all he had until the final whistle. He 
demonstrated how to live and die in those short brief moments, and gave a
 renewed hope to all to overcome individual adversities. 
Everyone will miss Chuck’s endearing smile, hearty laugh, bear hugs, and
 unconditional love of his family and friends. For 63 years, Chuck 
served with honor and glory up until the very last second, refusing to 
go down without a fight. Chuck was loved, but his work on Earth was 
done. There will never be another Chuck Reinert. His never ending story 
of courage will be told to the world for generations to come. Rest easy 
Chuck. 
Chuck is survived by his loving wife of 40 years Catherine (Craig) 
Reinert, and their 3 children Amanda (Chris) Duncan, son Evan (Cori) 
Reinert, and Jayne Reinert; Grandchildren Jeep, Connelly and Delaney 
Duncan, Emerson and Carson Reinert, and Serenity Sanchez; Brother Ed 
(Janette) Reinert, sister Cheryl (Dan) Nelson, sister Lisa Reinert, 
sister Janice (Dan) Laughlin, sister Annette (Chuck) Klein, sister 
Cheryl (Gary) West, sister Denise (Bud) Van Dam, brother Brian Craig, 
sister Nancy (Albert) Gomez, and Pat (Kathy) Craig, step-mother Rietta 
Spinuzzi, lifelong family friends Ernie and Gwen Sittaro, and a large 
extended family of nieces, nephews, aunt, uncles, and cousins. He was 
preceded in death by his parents, his step-father Vic Zupancic, and his 
in-laws. 
Chuck’s family expresses sincere gratitude to Dr. Joseph Moore and the 
staff at the Cancer Center of Kansas, Dr. Thomas Haggerty and the staff 
at Heartland Cancer Center, the staff of the Hospice of St. Catherine 
and the Ranch House for the compassionate, dignified care given to Chuck
 during his fight against cancer. 
A celebration of Chuck’s life will be held at 4:00 pm on July 9, 2022 at
 Holcomb High School Gymnasium, 600 N Jones Ave in Holcomb, KS. In true 
sports fan fashion, Chuck’s family requests the following athletic 
attire for those attending the celebration: Those who officiated with 
Chuck should wear their sport’s uniform and whistle; others are 
encouraged to wear their team gear or school colors, anyone is welcome 
to wear Chuck’s favorite Denver Bronco orange and blue, or their second 
favorite team’s apparel. Let’s fill the gym in a final celebration for 
Chuck. 
The service will also be live streamed on Garnand Funeral Home’s 
Facebook page. Condolences may be posted at www.garnandfuneralhomes.com.
 In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to the Chuck Reinert 
Memorial Fund, for his grandchildren’s education, in care of Garnand 
Funeral Home, 412 N 7th Street, Garden City, KS 67846. A private family 
burial will take place at a later date.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;

Geraldine Regina 'Gerry' Neff

Charlotte Gertrude Wilhelmina (Kress) Settle, 92, of
 Salina, passed away July 1, 2022. She was born in Cologne, Germany 
August 31, 1929 to Eugene and Cacilia Kress. Charlotte met Lester during
 WWll in Sinsheim, Germany while he was serving in the US Army. They 
were married at St. Joseph’s Catholic Church in Oakley, KS August 5, 
1947, and were married 71 years. They farmed and ranched near Winona, KS 
until 1999 and retired in Salina, KS.

While living in Winona, Charlotte worked at the school, drove a 
school bus, sold World Book Encyclopedias, and worked for SRS. After 
moving to Salina, she worked at the local art gallery and was a greeter 
for Conklin Cars. She was active in the German Club and St. Mary Queen 
of the Universe Catholic Church. She had a compassionate conviction for 
the lives of unborn children and always had a strong interest in 
politics.

Although Charlotte grew up in the large city of Cologne,Germany, at 
age 17 she learned how to help on the farm but always preferred to have a
 fence between her and the farm animals. She tamed raccoons, dressed 
hundreds of chickens, canned foods, delivered milk, cream, and eggs, 
prepared meals for harvest crews, and nary a weed dare grow in her 
luscious green yard. Charlotte loved working in her home, visiting with 
neighbors and friends, square dancing, having card parties and 
entertaining. New teachers to the community always found a welcome meal,
 and foreign college students always found a home full of hospitality 
during holidays. Most of all, she enjoyed visiting her grandchildren and
 making the farm a fun place to visit.

Always an avid reader, Charlotte encouraged her children to read, 
work hard, excel in whatever they did, and make the most of 
opportunities. She enjoyed writing and wrote many poems and diaries 
throughout her life. She loved music, especially classical and German. 
She found great joy in playing her accordion and was happy to entertain 
during the German Club meetings and even at her 90th birthday 
celebration. Her favorite food was chocolate, especially chocolates 
directly from Germany. Her favorite song was Enjoy Yourself, It’s Later 
Than You Think.

Charlotte was preceded in death by her husband, Lester. Survivors 
include her six children: Irene (Doug) Johnson of Dallas, TX, Frank 
(Peggy) Settle of Overland Park, Gloria (Ralph) Duffey of Salina, Harold
 (Rhonda) Settle of Great Bend, Roger (Theresa) Settle of Dodge City, 
and Janet (Patrick) Gleason of Meade. 19 Grandchildren: Kurt (Rae) 
Johnson, Adele (Uli) Woerz, Sr. Isabel (Society of Mary), Michael 
(Kristy) Johnson, Kipp Johnson, Robert Johnson; Craig (Blythe) Settle, 
Stephanie (Shawn) Turner, Kim (Nick) Bambick; Patricia Duffey, David 
(Kaori) Duffey, Connie Duffey; Jason (Lundy) Settle, Chad Settle; Mary 
(Adam) Behlke; Adam (Liz) Gleason, Michaela (Hito) Santacruz, Aaron 
(Miranda) Gleason, and Monica Gleason. 29 Great Grandchildren: Kressa 
and Max Johnson; Edward, Helena, Frederick, and Henry Woerz; Felix and 
Vela Johnson; Luke Johnson; Colin, Cayley, Camden, and Kinsley Settle; 
Austin, Ashlyn, Gabrielle, Lucas, and Frank Turner; Casey, Thomas, 
Caroline, and Riley Bambick; Michelle and William Duffey; Blake Kirkman,
 Sadie Settle; Aidan and Emma Gleason; and Isaiah Gleason.

The family is grateful to Charlotte’s neighbors and friends, 
especially Susan and Earl Fry, Tony and Allison Harding, Carl and Gloria
 Hanson, Lou Melgren, and Grace Shields. Also, to the many St. Mary 
parishioners who helped honor her wishes to have frequent visitors while
 remaining in her home as long as possible, especially John and Linda 
Ourida, Raymond and Julie Bilson, and Vera Roach.

There will be a rosary at 9 a.m. on Wednesday, July 6th, at St. Mary 
Queen of the Universe Catholic Church in Salina, KS, with Mass at 10, 
followed by a luncheon in the Parish Hall. Burial service will follow at
 All Saints Cemetery.

Memorials in Charlotte’s honor are appreciated to Kansas Right to 
Life, in care of Ryan Mortuary in Salina. In Lieu of flowers, Charlotte 
has requested Masses.

to Bethel McElroy on June 2, 1951, in Palco, Kansas, at the United 
Methodist Church. The couple was blessed with four sons: Rod, Mickie, 
Jim and Larry.
 Bonnie grew up in Rooks County, she attended grade school in Zurich 
and high school in Palco where she graduated with the class of 1949. 
Following high school, she attended Fort Hays State for 2 years before 
she married Bethel and the couple moved back to Zurich until Bethel’s 
honorable discharge from the army. The couple then moved to a farm near 
Palco on the Red Line. They moved into town in 1957 and raised four 
sons. Bonnie spent her years raising her family and being a working hand
 on the farm and ranch. She was a key part in the farm operation, making
 sure the crew was well fed and would assist anywhere she was recruited.
 Bonnie enjoyed the outdoors, especially the baby calves, spending time 
in her garden, and out-fishing her husband. It was also known she was a 
talented artist. She created many immaculate pieces which were 
displayed, sold, and earned many awards. Bonnie enjoyed sharing her love
 of art by teaching several painting classes. If she wasn’t outdoors or 
painting, she enjoyed square dancing, playing cards with her coffee club
 and friends, and was an avid Kansas sports fan. She rooted for the KU 
basketball team, the K-State Football team, and the Royals. Bonnie was a
 member of the Palco Methodist Church, Bridge and Pitch Card Club, 
Coffee Club, and Red Hat Society.
 Bonnie enjoyed the springtime, being outside, and tending her 
gardens. She not only tenderly cared for her family, dachshunds and 
garden, but more importantly she sowed the seeds of love and laughter 
into the lives of those closest to her. Although we will miss her 
greatly, we rejoice that she is now reaping the bountiful harvest of her
 hard work and loving labor, in the company of her Lord, until we see 
her again.
 She is survived by her husband, Bethel McElroy of South Hutchinson, 
KS; sons, Rod (Jolene) McElroy of Wheelersburg, OH, Mickie (Glenda) 
McElroy of Logan, KS, Jim (Bonnie) McElroy of Sterling, KS, Larry 
(Shirley) McElroy of Lake Jackson, TX; thirteen grandchildren, seventeen
 great-grandchildren and six great-great grandchildren.
 Bonnie joins in her heavenly home, her parents, Jimmy and Gladys 
McClellan; and siblings, Wayne (Lorine) McClellan and Eris (Chuck) 
McClellan-Waller.

“Regardless of what has happened, or will happen, I’m going to do my 
damnedest to leave this world totally exhausted and with a great big 
smile on my face.”
 Sally Sally Sally: The Memoirs of Roger Shields (c. 2011). 
 Roger William Shields was born on July 12, 1938, in Winfield, KS. He died on June 
27, 2022, at the age of 83, in Topeka, KS, where he resided for the last
 2 years of his life. 
 He is preceded in death by his parents, William Robert Shields and Marguerite Shields. 
 Roger’s mother meant everything to him. Marguerite loved him 
fiercely and as such, held Roger to high standards. She often pushed him
 to rise up to the level of potential she saw in him. Always a doting 
mother, when Roger would give his little sister rides on his Cushman 
Scooter, their mother would simply yell at Karen to “hang on tightly” as
 she watched the kids go up and down the street. Roger’s mother passed 
away in 1989 at the age of 80. 
 Roger was only 20 years-old when his father died in 1958. While they
 did not have time to deepen their relationship in all the ways Roger 
had hoped for, one special memory he often shared was of giving his 
father one final shave in the hospital shortly before William’s passing.
 
 Roger leaves behind six children to cherish his memory - Terry 
Shields and wife Sharon, Randy Shields and wife Jerri, Gary Shields and 
wife Angela, Dawn Shields and husband Thomas Krannawitter, Mark Shields 
and wife Rebecca, and Jessica Gottschalk and husband Luke. He is also 
survived by his brother, Bob Shields and wife Maxine, and his sister 
Karen Keady: as well as many beloved grandchildren and 
great-grandchildren.
 Roger spent his childhood primarily in Winfield, KS. He began 
working at the early age of 12, but he found his lifelong career in 
computer programming at the age of 20. He spent most of his career 
working with IBM, but his greatest professional achievement was starting
 his company, Bankers Own Software Systems (B.O.S.S.). 
 Roger’s adult years were spent in Ponca City, OK, Wichita, KS, and 
Hays, KS, but some of his fondest memories were his years living on the 
Plaza in Kansas City. Incredibly proud of his Irish heritage, he 
attended the Kansas City St. Patrick’s Day Parade every year. Roger 
loved music of all types, but especially blues and jazz. Many of his 
Kansas City nights were spent enjoying live music at Knuckleheads. Golf 
was also one of his hobbies, and in 1999, he and his son Randy played 
the round of a lifetime at St. Andrews in Scotland. At the age of 15, 
Roger discovered what would be a life-long passion for automobiles with a
 particular interest in classic cars. Roger also loved the Kansas City 
Chiefs and was a season-ticket holder for many years. 
 Roger always said his children were his biggest blessing. He was immensely proud of them. 
 The family will be holding a private service at a later date.&nbsp;
