Ronald D. Miller, age 85, of Scottsbluff, Neb., passed away on Sunday, October
 25, 2020. Cremation has taken place. Online condolences may be made 
by viewing Ronald’s memorial page at <a href="https://memorials.bridgmanfuneralhome.com/ronald-miller/4374413/obituary.php">www.bridgmanfuneralhome.com</a>. 
Bridgman Funeral Home and Cremation Services is entrusted with 
arrangements. 
 Ronald Dewayne Miller was born on May 16, 1935 in Hope, Kansas to 
Edna and Gordon Miller. A child of the Great Depression, Ron’s youth 
growing up on the family farm led to a life-long love of the land and 
family that wove itself though out his lifetime. 
 That enthusiasm for the land led him to Fort Hays State, where he 
majored in soil sciences, receiving a bachelor’s degree and becoming the
 inaugural recipient of the Bush Gross Award, in recognition of 
outstanding athletics, scholarship and leadership. Following 
graduation, he took a job as a range scientist with the Bureau of Indian
 Affairs in South Dakota, where he met the other love of his life, 
Sonjia Anne Moul, of Gettysburg, S.D. They married in Dec. 1959, and 
raised daughter, Wendy, and son, Scott, before moving to Scottsbluff, 
Neb. in 1970. 
 Ronald became a local business owner, operating Miller Farm Home 
Oil Service, and when his children were in school, Ronald and his wife 
were involved in numerous organizations supporting local education and 
youth sports. Ronald kept a hand in the agriculture industry by 
supporting local youth involved in FFA and 4-H. 
 Ronald ultimately returned full-time to his love of the land, crop 
advising through Whole Farm Environmental Living Energy Services and 
promoting the advantages of healthy soil in crop production. He also 
continued to operate the family farm in Kansas, which he used as his own
 laboratory to experiment with different methods and materials to 
improve the life in the land. 
 Ronald’s family was always an important part of his life, and with 
his wife Sonjia, they reveled in the years of their grandchildren from 
Wendy and Steve Getzfrid, Stosh, Maggie and Emma, as the trio grew up. 
As those children became older, they reveled in the activities and 
family brought into their lives through Scott’s marriage to Polly Crist 
and her local extended family; son Brian, nieces and nephews Jesse, 
Justin and Tyler Baird, and Jada Ellsworth. And they even found some 
time for themselves, with frequent trips for casino gambling – what he 
lost at cards (usually), she almost always made up and then some with 
the slot machines. 
 Ron is survived by his sister Marylyn, daughter, Wendy (Steve) 
Getzfrid, grandchildren Stosh (Whitney), Maggie, Emma (Logan Bovill) 
Getzfrid, son Scott (Polly) Miller and their extended family. 
 He is preceded in death by his wife, Sonjia and his parents.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;

Francis Andrew Younger, 79, passed away
 Saturday, October 24, 2020, at Clear Creek Care Center in Westminster, 
Co.&nbsp; He was a longtime resident of Syracuse, KS.&nbsp;

To friends and family, he was known as Frank.

He was born October 18, 1941, in 
Victoria, Kansas, the son of Andrew and Elizabeth (Mermis) Younger. 
Frank was the youngest of eight siblings.&nbsp; While growing up he helped 
work the family farm and was active in sports: rotating between 
football, basketball and baseball. As was the case with each of his 
older brothers, Frank displayed the most talent and passion at baseball;
 he had a reputation as a crafty pitcher, and threw a number of 
no-hitter games while playing in the local leagues around Hays, Kansas.

Frank joined the Kansas National Guard 
after High School and attended Fort Hays State University.&nbsp; He later 
settled in Salina, Kansas, after finding employment at Beech Aircraft. 
&nbsp;It was in Salina that he would also meet his future wife, Carla 
(Pfefferkorn) Younger, and they would have three children: Lori, 
Rebecca, and Matthew.

After the Beech plant closed in 1981, 
he moved his family to Syracuse, Kansas, where he became a proud 
employee of the Kansas Department of Transportation for the next 24 
years. &nbsp;Frank began his employment with KDOT as an Equipment Operator, 
and advanced to the position of Engineering Technician before retiring 
in 2007.

He also gave a total of 23 years of honorable service to the Kansas National Guard, retiring in 2001.

Frank was an active member of St. 
Raphael’s Catholic Church, where he was also a longtime member of the 
Syracuse council of the Knights of Columbus.&nbsp; He was involved in the 
Syracuse Lions Club, and for many years was a reliable and proud 
participant in the Syracuse Veterans Day parade. &nbsp;

In his spare time, he enjoyed gardening
 and woodworking. He remained an avid sports fan and spectator his 
entire life, with KU and KSU being among his favorite teams.&nbsp; His 
weekend routine always revolved around being free at game time.

Francis was preceded in death by his 
parents, two brothers; Ralph Younger and Cletus Younger and his wife 
Rose, three sisters; Irene Linenberger and husband Paul, Bernice 
McMillan and husband Don, and Marilyn Prewo.&nbsp;

He is survived by his wife; Carla 
(Pfefferkorn) Younger of Overland Park, KS, two daughters; Lori Strella 
and husband Scott of Olathe, KS, and Rebecca Malleck and husband Tony of
 Henderson, CO, &nbsp;one son; Matthew Younger of Rogers, AR, three 
granddaughters; Ashley Strella of Wichita, KS and Abby Strella and Ava 
Strella of Olathe, KS, one brother; Nathan Younger of Commerce City, Co,
 one sister; Geraldine Ruder of Hays, KS, and one brother-in-law; Tom 
Prewo of Hays, KS.
