eat and football. He was actively involved in the community visiting 
with others to keep up on current local events. He was a past member of 
the Kansas Farm Bureau Association, and a member of the First Christian 
Church. 
Bob is survived by his children, Cyd McElhaney (Rob) Blais of

Bob was a good-hearted man who worked hard, enjoyed life and

 us to the finish line, but we look forward to rejoining him one day 
when we see him again on the other side of heaven.

Larry Dean Finley, beloved son of John (Jack) Finley and Doris Finley, 
passed away on Monday April 27th, 2020, at the age of 67, of natural 
causes. 

Larry was an artist, DJ, and brother to Steve, Kevin, Doug, and 
Brad. He had been accepted after high school into the Art Institute. He 
later married Paula McKinney and had a beautiful daughter, named Candice
 Mae Finley. Although the marriage didn’t move forward, Larry and Paula 
were in joyful contact in the last of their years. Atwood, KS was his 
favorite place in the world and in that lovely town there are 
uncountable unnamed people who cared for and nurtured him over the 
years. 

Larry could not have survived his ailments without the help of 
the innumerable friendships he relied on in Atwood. He was a loner who 
valued time on his own with his genius thoughts. “It’s easy to stand in a
 crowd, but it takes courage to stand alone.” Gandhi.


 He will be missed by his surviving daughters Candice Finley and Camelia
 Finley, mother Doris Finley, brother Brad Finley, many nephews, and 
sister in-laws. Larry Finley, brave in death, may you live free in the 
shining dawn forever.


One of his favorite songs, by the Beatles


Take these broken wings and learn to fly


You were only waiting for this moment to arise


You were only waiting for this moment to be free


Blackbird singing in the dead of night…

BLACKBIRD
Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these sunken eyes and learn to see
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to be free
Blackbird fly, blackbird fly
Into the light of a dark black night
Blackbird fly, blackbird fly
Into the light of a dark black night
Blackbird singing in the dead of night…
