Herman Edwin Meyer

George&nbsp;Adelgren&nbsp;loved to tell a good&nbsp;joke,&nbsp;and the cornier it was, the better. &nbsp;It seemed he knew an unending supply of them, and no one was ever quite sure where he found them all. &nbsp;He rarely messed up a punch line, but even when he did it still usually ended up being funny.&nbsp;

George Russell&nbsp;Adelgren&nbsp;was born in 1934 in Buffalo, KS to Henry and Wilma&nbsp;Adelgren, the second of four boys. &nbsp;On their farm west of Chanute, KS they raised cattle, pigs, goats, wheat and corn (and they also grew turnips, which George did not like at all). &nbsp;

George graduated with a class of seven&nbsp;from Vilas High School in 1952. &nbsp;He was a catcher, and even though the school only had eleven boys their baseball team took 2nd place at State, beating out many much larger schools. &nbsp;He attended junior college and played semi-pro baseball for two years. &nbsp;He enlisted in the US Army and served as a medic for two years in such hot, humid and unglamorous places as Louisiana, Texas, and Missouri.

George married&nbsp;Gorda&nbsp;Hilty&nbsp;in 1963. &nbsp;In 1973, they moved from Wichita, KS to Gunnison, CO where they raised their three children, and he tirelessly supported all their activities like 4-H, sports, drama, band, and school clubs. &nbsp;In 1989, they moved to Goodland, KS. &nbsp;He enjoyed hunting, fishing, horseback riding, bowling, and golf.

George followed his father and older brother&nbsp;into carpentry. &nbsp;He was an artist and artisan, and his medium was wood. &nbsp;In his professional life he was a master carpenter and cabinetmaker who built beautiful custom houses throughout Kansas and Colorado for over 50 years. &nbsp;For the last 10 years of his career he taught carpentry at the NW Kansas&nbsp;VoTech, passing on his wealth of knowledge and passion to his students. &nbsp;

After his retirement, he turned his eye and considerable skill toward creating works of art through woodturning, pyrography, and hand carving. &nbsp;He never passed up a woodpile or free tree stump; the knottier and&nbsp;gnarlier&nbsp;a chunk of wood was, the more character he thought it contained. &nbsp;He said the wood usually told him what it wanted to become and he excelled at drawing out and revealing its natural beauty.&nbsp;

He could often be found in his shop teaching his grandkids how to create wood projects and play in the sawdust. &nbsp;George enjoyed swapping stories with his coffee cronies (the “wrinkled roosters”), and teaching the grandkids how to hunt. &nbsp;He challenged himself by acting in fun plays, and even had roles in a couple of small films. &nbsp;But most of all he loved spending time with his wife&nbsp;Gorda, their children, and extended family. &nbsp;

George passed away at the age of 88 on Monday, 28 March 2022, and he will be dearly missed. &nbsp;He is survived by his wife&nbsp;Gorda, daughter Shawna Dorsey and husband Skip, son Russell&nbsp;Adelgren&nbsp;and wife Dee, daughter Mona&nbsp;Adelgren, seven grandchildren and their spouses, and his great-granddaughter whom he was very delighted to recently meet. &nbsp;He is preceded in death by his parents, his brothers John, Robert, and Ralph, and his grandson Shawn. &nbsp;

Funeral Services&nbsp;will be held&nbsp;on&nbsp;Monday, 4 April 2022, at 10:00 AM&nbsp;MT&nbsp;at&nbsp;the&nbsp;First Christian Church&nbsp;in Goodland. &nbsp;Burial will follow in the Goodland Cemetery.<a></a>&nbsp;&nbsp;Visitation will be held on Sunday, 3 April 2022, from 6:00 to 8:00 PM MT at Koons-Russell Funeral Home in Goodland.

In lieu of sending flowers, the family requests memorial donations be made to Pheasants Forever, and those may be left at the services or mailed to Koons-Russell Funeral Home, 211 n. Main Ave., Goodland, KS 67735.

Online condolences to the family may be left at&nbsp;<a href="http://www.koonsrussellfuneralhome.com/">www.koonsrussellfuneralhome.com</a>.

William “Bill” Gene Toelkes entered into heaven on March 27, 2022, at home with his wife and daughter by his side.

Bill was born on January 28, 1950, in Hays, Kansas, to Donald Gene 
Toelkes and Patricia Jean Turnbull Toelkes. He grew up in Minden, 
Louisiana, and graduated from Minden High School in 1969.

He joined the United States Marine Corps in 1969 and served as a reservist for six years.

He went to work for Goodyear in Trenton, Missouri, where he met and 
married Linda Taul on September 11, 1971. &nbsp;He knew she was the one when 
he saw her in her 1963 red Chevy Impala. He and Linda had one daughter, 
Sonja. His daughter was his world.

Bill worked in the Oil and Gas industry for 46 years. He started out 
in the warehouse at Bovaird Supply Company in 1971. He worked his way up
 to Vice President of Operations. He went on to work for Continental 
Emsco, Wilson Supply, Bell Supply, and PCC. He retired in 2017. Everyone
 knew that if you needed to know what to do to get the job done you 
called Bill. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Everyone in the family will remember Bill’s sense of humor. If there 
were antics or pranks involved, you knew where to look. Bill would want 
to be remembered as a great hunter and golfer…even if that wasn’t always
 the case.

Bill was a member of Wesley United Methodist Church in Greenville, Texas and a member of the Covenant Sunday School class.

He loved his family. His most fun and cherished times in retirement were fishing with Andrew and watching Lizzie cheer.

Bill loved to travel. Some of his favorite memories were taking 
family vacations. He loved going to Hawaii, New Orleans, Las Vegas, 
Alaska, and Disney World with the grandkids. He loved our yearly trips 
to Beavers Bend and was always up for a good night of roasting smores, 
shooting pool, and playing poker with Andrew and Elizabeth.

He loved family get-togethers at Thanksgiving and Christmas. 
Christmas service at church was one of his favorite traditions. He loved
 music from the 50’s and 60’s. He liked to sing these old songs to his 
grandkids.

Bill was preceded in death by his parents. Still carrying on his 
legacy are his wife Linda, daughter Sonja Toelkes Cavett and her husband
 Chris, grandchildren Andrew Parker Cavett and Elizabeth Ann Cavett, 
sisters Judy Miller and Donna Marsalis, and brother Rodney Toelkes.

A celebration of life is scheduled for April 9, 2022, at 2:00 p.m. at 
Wesley United Methodist Church in Greenville, Texas, with a reception to 
follow. Reverend Chris Yost will officiate.

Arrangements are being handled by Lynch Funeral Service in 
Greenville. In lieu of flowers, please send donations to the General 
Fund at Wesley United Methodist Church P. O. Box 864 Greenville, TX 
75403.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Lowell Arden Blickenstaff was born October 12, 1936, in Oberlin, Kansas, to
 Florence Blickenstaff (Hayes) And Edgar Blickenstaff. Lowell passed 
away Saturday, March 26, 2022, at the age of 85 at the Smith County 
Memorial Hospital, following a 35 year struggle with heart disease.
 After graduating in 1954, he moved with his family to rural Beaver 
City to farm. He made the long drive back to Smith Center to pursue his 
relationship with his bride to be Ardyus Lambert. They were united in 
marriage on June 1, 1956. They were blessed with three children Rodney 
Wayne, Cynthia Jo, and Carla Jean. Sometime around 1961 they move back 
to Smith County to establish a farmstead of their own. In 1992 they 
moved into the Lambert home where they currently reside.
 Lowell’s lifelong career was farming and taking care of cattle. 
Once his heart condition made him medically retire he picked up going to
 auctions for a friend Gayle Jones. Speaking of his heart condition he 
had quite an interesting story about his 1st heart attack ambulance 
trip. First ambulance caught fire on the way to the farm; sent a second 
one and it broke down. Then the gurney wouldn’t fit through the front 
door with him on it so they had to take him out through the picture 
window. It was just like Lowell to kick things off with a bang. Over the
 years he used all nine lives and possibly more. Lowell had a talent 
like no other. I don’t know anyone that is or was a better Deer Hunter 
but not intentionally. I’m pretty sure he even hit more than one deer 
in a day going to and from coffee. He had many passions in his life but 
he would make sure he made time for grandkids and friends. He played 
cards, enjoyed drinking coffee with his buddies including hanging out at
 Freddy Kolb’s auction house. 
 He never missed a chance of being a jokester and or telling jokes. 
Lowell had a gorilla suit/masks and loved to make his grandkids squeal. 
In his older years he moved on to other masks and wigs to continue his 
shenanigans. Another past time of his was turkey hunting and cat 
fishing. One of his favorite fishing memories was the day he went pond 
fishing with Cindy’s crew. His pole was the only lucky one &amp; hardly 
had enough string to reach the water. Lowell and Ardyus had several dogs
 over the years one Pokie but several Klide’s. Keep the same name and 
you don’t have to update the doghouse. He was known in the surrounding 
communities as the owner of the well-behaved dog on the toolbox. 
 Lowell is survived by his wife Ardyus of the home, son Rod 
Blickenstaff of Smith Center, daughters, Cindy Ratliff (Warren) of Glade
 Kansas, and Carla Aduddell significant other Rod Cassida of Camdenton 
MO.
 Grandchildren:
 Brandy (Ratliff)Shelton, Tony Blickenstaff (Nikki), Amber (Ratliff) 
Gower (James), Angie (Blickenstaff) Hahn (Travis), Edward Aduddell 
(Stevie Giancola), Nicki (Aduddell) Rothove(Jake)
 Great grandkids:
 Jaret, Kale &amp; Cole Shelton ,AJ, Mason, Jayten, Ayden, and 
Ainsley Blickenstaff, Clint, Peyton &amp; Cooper Gower, Coryn, Ashlyn 
&amp; Haden Hahn, Baely Hansen, Kyrian, Pyper &amp; Edward Aduddell, 
Jacey, Briella &amp; Briggs Rothove and a host of nieces, nephews, 
family and friends. 
 Lowell was preceded in death by his parents Florence and Edgar 
Blickenstaff, brother Duane Blickenstaff, sister Sharon and (Dale) 
Warner and great granddaughter Ali Shelton.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Retired educator and coach Robert “Bob” Krug left this earth and went to
 his heavenly home on March 24, 2022, at the age of 74, surrounded by 
loved ones who will continue to honor his legacy by living their lives 
to the fullest. Bob was born on November 8, 1947 in Garden City, Kansas 
to Emil Sr. and Eva Krug. Bob was the youngest of three children. Bob 
enjoyed sports, including basketball, baseball and tennis while growing 
up. Graduating from Garden City High School in southwest Kansas in 1965,
 Bob later completed his degree from Emporia State University before 
returning to Garden City to begin a career in education. Bob taught for 
34 years in Garden City before completing his career with seven more 
years in Holcomb. The passion in Bob’s work came from his love for 
teaching, whether in the classroom or on the tennis court. Bob coached 
boys and girls tennis for 26 years. Bob took great delight in coaching 
and teaching, and as a result began a very successful summer tennis 
program that he ran for 34 years. He made many meaningful memories for 
himself and those he taught and coached. In May 2021, Bob and Jane 
returned to Garden City after snowbird season, sold their house and 
began a transition to permanent residency at their home in Largo, 
Florida. 
As an adult Bob enjoyed playing tennis, racquetball, and golf. Bob loved
 watching University of Kansas Jayhawk basketball, he loved guessing 
games, the spirit of sport and ultimately the joy that healthy 
competition provides self and others. Service was an important part of 
Bob’s life. As a member of the First United Methodist Church in Garden 
City, Bob served in many different capacities. He went to Honduras to 
help with water projects seven times, and along with his wife Jane, 
worked with a Volunteers in Mission team for the United Methodist Church
 from 2012-2015, as well as other local service projects over the years.
 He was also a proud U.S. Veteran. Bob owned and operated Krug’s Sport 
Shop from the basement of their home where he provided unique, 
customized service. Bob was known by his family and the tennis community
 for having customer visits during all hours of the day, as this was a 
place for all skill levels to feel welcomed. 
Bob is remembered by his family and many others with his stories, 
laughter, and crazy sayings like “Humma Humma” and “Hello Wall.” He 
drove many, many miles transporting his tennis teams to tournaments, 
staying awake eating sunflower seeds or talking with the player that 
chose the front seat. 
Bob was inducted into the Garden City High School Athletics Hall of Fame
 in December 2021 and was humbled and appreciative of that honor and 
celebration. Bob is lovingly remembered by many he coached, and his 
legacy will live on. 
Bob is survived by his wife Jane, married on July 22, 1972. This July 
they were planning to celebrate their 50th Anniversary with their family
 in Asheville, North Carolina. Bob is also survived by their three 
children Chad, Amanda, and Sarah; daughter-in-law Kate and sons-in-law 
Ryan and Aaron; grandchildren Cole, Addy, Ty, Nora, Asher, and Corbin; 
sister Beverley and brother Emil Jr. and his wife Deandra. He is also 
survived by sister-in-law Doris Rauhut and brother-in-law Ron Matteson 
and his wife Brenda. 
Too humble to admit, Bob had a lot of courage and brought so much joy 
into the world. Bob’s family and friends will celebrate his courage, the
 legacy of his joy and his life with a Celebration of Life service at 
1:00 p.m. on Saturday, April 2, 2022, at the First United Methodist 
Church in Garden City. The service may also be viewed on Facebook Live 
on the Garnand Funeral Home Facebook page. A reception will follow at 
Southwind Golf and Dining from 2:30-4:30pm.

A scholarship is being 
established in memory of Bob. In lieu of flowers, contributions for the 
Bob Krug Memorial Scholarship may be sent to Garnand Funeral Home, 412 
N. 7th St., Garden City, Kansas 67846.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;
