Gerald Edward “Fuzzy” Weyand, 84, passed away Saturday, April 3, 2021, at his residence in Russell. He was born December 20, 1936 in Galva, KS to Herbert and Bertha (Ollek) Weyand. Gerald attended and graduated from Lehigh High School in 1954.

Gerald was introduced to a Stormont Vail nursing student, Freda Mae Duffey, by his brother. They were married September 20, 1958 and made their home in Norton. Gerald and Freda enjoyed 62 years of marriage until her death in August 2020, after which he moved to Russell to be closer to family.

Gerald worked for the Kansas Highway Patrol for 36 years, retiring in 1998. He and Freda spent much of their retirement attending every band concert, school program, and baseball, football, volleyball, and softball game of their grandkids that they could. They also found time to hit a few casinos in between! A highlight was an Alaskan cruise with Freda’s brother and sisters.

Survivors who will miss him dearly are his children, Carla (Richard) Miller of Russell, Curt (Michelle) Weyand of Manhattan, and Craig (Misty) Weyand of Salina; grandchildren: Ryan Miller, Rylee Miller, Corey Weyand, and Connor Weyand; great-grandchildren: Haley, Hunter, Paisley, Harlie and Chloe.

Clark F. Brackney of Galloway, N.J., passed away early Saturday morning, April 
3, 2021. He was 70 years old. Born in Hays, Kansas, Clark also resided
 in Iowa, Missouri, and Connecticut before calling New Jersey home. 
Clark was a true factotum. After graduating from Hays High School and 
marrying his wife, Sally, Clark worked in a variety of fields and 
capacities including the cattle industry, construction, sales, retail 
management, providing services to pet owners, and real estate sales 
support. His engaging personality and wide-ranging skill set left him 
equally comfortable riding a horse, repairing a car, remodeling a home, 
or managing a large operation with scores of employees. 
Clark was always interested in doing new things and seeing new places. 
He enjoyed traveling both in the U.S. and abroad. He was a raconteur, 
ready to regale others with stories of his latest discovery, trip, or 
observation in his own inimitable style. In addition to closely 
following the day-to-day happenings in his children’s and 
grandchildren’s life, he also found time to track the Phillies and 
76ers. 
Clark is predeceased by his father, Cecil “Pete” Brackney, his mother, 
Francis Brackney, his stepmother, Eileen Brackney, his brother, Charles 
Brackney, and his sister, Charlene Brackney. He is survived by his 
wife, Sally Brackney, his son, Carson Brackney and wife Sherri, and 
granddaughters Evangeline and Amelia, his daughter, Megan Brackney and 
husband Jonathan Detrixhe, and his granddaughter, Beatrix. He will be 
remembered by numerous nieces, nephews, extended family, and dear 
friends. 
A memorial will be held at Parsels Funeral Home, 324 New Jersey Ave, 
Absecon NJ, on Saturday, April 10 from 3:00PM to 4:30PM, with a service
