Clint Alan Froelich, 39, Hays, Kansas, 
died Sunday, April 12, 2020, with his wife holding his hand at HayMed.&nbsp; 
At 2:45 am on that Easter morning, he was freed of all his earthly pains
 and joined his heavenly Father away from all earthly burdens.

He was born August 16, 1980, the son of
 Morris Alan and Marie Kay (Dreiling) Froelich in Hays.&nbsp; Growing up, 
Clint was a very loving, happy, energetic, and ornery little boy.&nbsp; Clint
 attended Hays High School and graduated in May 1999.&nbsp; He was a very 
hardworking man of many talents, but most of all he loved construction.&nbsp;
 He worked for Bieker Construction for seven years before starting with 
Brackney Construction where he continued for the next 14 years.&nbsp; Clint 
was never one to turn down a person in need of help and would help 
friends and family many nights and weekends.&nbsp; He was a Kansas City 
Chiefs fan and enjoyed fishing, shooting, gardening, and baking.&nbsp; He 
would bake for days in preparation for ski trips with his family.&nbsp; He 
loved spending time with his daughters. &nbsp;&nbsp;

In March of 1998, as a junior in high 
school, he met his soulmate and future wife Savanna Tibbetts.&nbsp; Clint and
 Savanna dated long distance until she graduated from high school in 
2001.&nbsp; In 2003, the happy couple welcomed their first daughter Marissa 
to the world, and Clint’s light never shown brighter.&nbsp; On September 16, 
2006 Clint and Savanna were united in marriage in Hays at St. Nicholas 
of Myra Catholic Church where Clint had been a member since the church 
was built.&nbsp; Clint loved being a father, and the couple welcomed three 
more children to their family.&nbsp; Afton was welcomed in October of 2007, 
Joselin was welcomed in July of 2009, and after many years of trying and
 being devastated by the loss of their only son Talon in August of 2014 
and a daughter Piper in December of 2015, their daughter Victoria joined
 the party in October of 2017.

When Victoria was only six months old, 
Clint was taken to HaysMed for appendicitis.&nbsp; Five days after the 
appendectomy Clint was diagnosed with an extremely rare and aggressive 
form of cancer.&nbsp; Clint took a breath and vowed to give every ounce of 
fight within him to conquer this disease.&nbsp; Over the next 23 months Clint
 endured 29 procedures, 83 days away from his beloved children, three 
different hospitals, two different states, 13 doctors, numerous nurses 
and many missed family holidays and celebrations.&nbsp; Clint NEVER gave up. 
&nbsp;Each and every day he woke up he put a smile on his face, and kept life
 as normal as possible for his girls.

Clint is survived by his wife; Savanna,
 and four daughters; Marissa, Afton, Joselin, and Victoria, all of the 
home in Hays, his parents; Morris and Marie Froelich of Hays, KS, a 
sister; Jill Russell and husband Bill, and two nieces; Kaeleah and Brynn
 Russell, all of Papillion, NE, his grandparents; Morris and MaryAnn 
Froelich of Gorham, KS and Marvin and Kathleen Dreiling of Hays, KS, his
 father-in-law; Russell Tibbetts of Beaver, OK and a host of aunts, 
uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews, and many, many loved family and 
friends.

He was preceded in death by a son; 
Talon Froelich, a daughter; Piper Froelich, a cousin; Wade Dreiling, and
 his mother-in-law; Mary Tibbetts.

A memorial mass will be held at St. 
Nicholas of Myra Catholic Church at a later date.&nbsp; Private family burial
 will be in St. Joseph Cemetery.&nbsp; Memorials are suggested to Clint’s 
children's education made payable to Savanna Froelich, in care of Hays 
Memorial Chapel Funeral Home, 1906 Pine Street, Hays.&nbsp; Condolences and 
memories of Clint may be shared with the family at www.haysmemorial.com

Gary Patrick Dino, 73, passed away April 6, 2020, at Via Christi St. 
Francis, Wichita. He was born on April 6, 1947, at Monticello, New York,
 to Floyd &amp; Clara (Kreutzer) Dino (Sweetman). He married Mary Stos 
on November 3, 1977, at Liberal, KS. She survives.

Gary graduated from Great Bend High School and attended Hutchinson 
Jr. College, where he was drafted into the United States Army and served
 his country in Vietnam from 1968-1969. He was medivacked out in 1969 to
 Fitzsimmons Army Hospital in Denver for 9 months, where he recovered 
from his wounds. He was awarded the Bronze Star for bravery, as well as 
the Purple Heart. He went above and beyond and his courage was 
commendable. He was a member of the Military Order of the Purple Heart 
and Prince of Peace Catholic Church.

In his younger years, he worked in the oilfield in many capacities, 
and when the oil business slowed down, he attended the Florida Institute
 of Technology at Jenssen Beach, Florida, where he became a Certified 
OMC Mechanic. He loved the great outdoors. Fishing and camping were his 
passion. He found serenity in just parking to watch the deer and turkey 
as they came out at night. Anyone who knew him, knew he had a soft spot 
for animals, his many black labs, with the most recent being Odee. Not 
to mention his two cats he called Skinny and Stinky that he rescued as 
kittens. He had a heart as big as Texas and such an infectious laugh. 
Many were in awe at his ability to do pretty much anything he put his 
mind to, and do it to perfection. He will be greatly missed.

Survivors include, his wife Mary of 42 years; a daughter in law, 
Stacy Bouse; a sister, Tammy Scheuerman and husband Jeff; his 
grandchildren, Tylan Dino, Brannan Schaffer and Cayden (Dino) Bouse; a 
great granddaughter, Lux Dino; grandchildren of the heart, Clinton Bouse
 and Melanie Bouse; special nephews, Lafe Kern, Dino Kern, and Reggie 
Kern; special nieces, Gina Werth, Jessica James and Tatum Stahman. He 
was preceded in death by his parents; two sons, Tyler Dino and Bowen 
Dino; a sister, Donna Kern; and a nephew, Shane Kern.

There will be no visitation as cremation has taken place and Memorial
 services are pending, due to the Mass restrictions and limitations set 
forth by the Catholic Diocese, and will be announced at a later date. 
Military Rites will be conducted with inurnment at that time. Memorials 
are suggested to the Gary Dino Funeral Expense Fund or Golden Belt 
Humane Society, in care of Bryant Funeral Home.

George J. Seuser Jr., 90, Marquette, Kansas, formerly of Bison, Kansas, died Thursday, April 9, 2020, at Riverview Estates, Marquette, Kansas.

George was born July 12, 1929, in La Crosse, Kansas, the son of George J. Seuser, Sr., and Marie (Jedlicka) Seuser. He was a resident of Bison, Kansas, for 83 years, before becoming a resident of Riverview Estates, Marquette, Kansas, in January, 2013. A 1947 graduate of Bison High School, Bison, Kansas, he was a farmer before his retirement.

On November 1960, he married Harriet Ann Green in Colorado Springs, Colorado. She preceded him in death on June 2, 2017. George and Harriet made their home on the original Seuser homestead that was established in 1891. George believed a man’s word was his bond, and that working the land was a calling. He thrived on the thrill and stress of harvest each year. Long after retiring, he would speak about raising cattle, planting, and preparing for harvest. On a Sunday drive, he would note, “Now that’s a good lookin’ milo field.” His passing means he now walks in fields of gold.

Survivors include the following: one son, George J. Seuser III, Kanopolis Lake, Kansas; one daughter, Laurie Denk (John, Lindsborg, Kansas; two grandchildren, Claire Denk, Des Moines, Iowa; and Connor Denk, Lindsborg, Kansas; and one great grandson, Liam Denk, Lindsborg, Kansas.

He was preceded in death by his parents; his wife; one brother, Bill Seuser; and two sisters, Margarete Albers, and Mildred Littler.

Because of the current challenges the world is facing at the present time, this is a private, immediate family only, graveside service and interment, with no visitation.

In lieu of flowers or plants, the family requests all memorials be made to Riverview Estates, Inc., Marquette, Kansas, his final home where he was loved and cared for well.

Condolences or remembrances may be left for the family at www.janousekfuneralhome.com.

Arrangements were by Janousek Funeral Home, 719 Pine Street, P O Box 550, La Crosse, Kansas 67548, 785/222-2517.
