Jerry was born May 13, 1943 in Lincoln NE to Ethel and Clyde Norris. He graduated from Technical High in Omaha, NE. On January 28, 1961 he married Penny Scurlocke. To this union two sons were born, Russell and Donald. Jerry held several jobs during his lifetime which included:   Omaha Stockyards, OPS, Vickers Hydraulics, OTR truck driver, Omni Engineering. Jerry & Penny also owned and operated Karl Schwarz Taxidermy in downtown Omaha for a number of years until they moved the business to the acreage in Springfield. He retired from full time work in 2011. Since then Jerry has been tinkering around on their acreage. He was very handy, a jack of all trades and wasn’t afraid to try to fix anything. The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree as both his sons are the same way.   In the past he enjoyed fishing and deer hunting with his brother Richard, brother-in-law Orville and friends.   Jerry was always upbeat, could tell many jokes/stories and was a master of BS!!!

Jerry is survived by his wife Penny, his sons Russell (Brenda) of Council Bluffs, Donald (Betty) of Tacoma, WA, grandchildren Kristine of CB, Eric of El Paso, TX, Audrey (Josh) Linn of Olympia, WA and Sarah of Tacoma, WA, many nieces, nephews and friends.

Darwyn was born March 13, 1945. He grew up on farms outside of Gretna, attended small country schools, then went on to graduate from Gretna High. He played football, was on the track team, and met his future wife, Lorraine Snell. They were married on September 13, 1963. Their marriage was blessed with three children: Kevin (died in infancy), Karen and Michael. They recently celebrated their 50^th anniversary.

Darwyn was a farmer. He loved the kind of life farming provided for his wife and children. In 1980, he and Lorraine built a new home on their farm west of Springfield. They lived there until retirement, then moved to a home in Gretna. Even though Dementia made life hard, his greatest joys in life came from his family. He enjoyed visiting with Karen and her husband Ted; talking farming with Mike and his wife Kristie; and most of all, watching the antics of his grandchildren Brett, Gage, and Brooke. Just the mention of their names brought a smile to his face.

He passed away peacefully at home on July 2, 2015. He will always be remembered for his sense of humor, love of farming, and love for his family.

“Don’t get old…but the alternative isn’t so great!”  This became one of William’s favorite sayings in his final years and on June 24, 2015, at 90 years young, William Theodore Costen finally succumbed to the alternative & had his homecoming. He was born in Omaha, Nebraska on January 21, 1925 to William James & Mary Lou Costen. Baptized in the Catholic Church in 1939, he transferred from Howard Kennedy to St. Benedict Catholic School, later attending Technical High School, before quitting to work at Woolworth Five & Dime and later earning his GED. As an ambitious & inventive young boy, he would take his mother’s homemade popcorn & popcorn balls to sell in the neighborhood in order to help out at home. This endeavor evolved into a stand, where he sold kool-aid, candy, bubble gum, popcorn & pop – making him an entrepreneur at the age of 10. After being drafted into the Army at 18, his career went on to include work at Blackstone Hotel, Union Pacific Railroad and Armour & Company. When Armour closed in 1968, he went to work for Omaha Public Schools, before finally retiring in 1987.

Married to his 1st wife in 1946, he & Delores Jeanette Gordon had 4 children (William, Carmen, Stephen and Lorraine) before she passed away in 1957.  In 1963, he married Thelma Lee Tucker, who bought along her son (Tony), making them a family of seven. He became a widower once again in 2009.

A long-time member of the Benedict Club & Hope Lutheran Church, he made friends everywhere he went. He enjoyed working in the yard, tinkering around the house, talking to loved ones, watching tv & eating sweets.

He is survived & will be greatly missed by sons William of Hartford, CT, Tony of Louisville, KY, and Stephen of Atlanta, GA; daughters Carmen and Lorraine of Atlanta, GA; grandchildren Tracy, Keelan, Michael and Arielle of Atlanta, GA, Tonya of Vallejo, CA, Stacy and Marcus of Louisville, KY, Jarrell of Hartford, CT and Chantal of Washington, D.C.; and great-grandsons, Kelvin of Vallejo, CA and Michael of Atlanta, GA.

Frederick George McNamara was born June 11, 1938 to George and Hester McNamara. Fred had 7 brothers and 6 sisters, for a total of 14 children. Fred was always a good brother and always willing to help, according to Brother Art. Fred joined the Army in 1958 at the age of 20. He then served in the Korean Conflict in 1959. He also served in the Vietnam War. He received one Purple Heart in Korea. He also received a Silver Star, a Bronze Star an Armed Forces Services Medal, two Purple Hearts, and a Purple Heart with a Cluster in Vietnam. Peach remembers Fred protecting his country and showing heroism. Barb remembers going to the movies when Fred would come home on leave and visiting him in Florida. Nonie liked it how when Mom would yell for dinner, none of the boys would come away from the cars. But, if she yelled “Beer Break,” the tools would fly everywhere and the boys would come running. Johnny remembers helping Fred change his 1975 blue Chevy pickup from clutch to automatic. Fred loved to use his hands and fix things. So when he moved to Arkansas, he helped his sister, Pat, fix the little house she had. Fred also loved to fish and he went a lot with Joe. Fred loved to spend time with nephews and nieces. One of his favorite memories was of George taking apart his carburetor. Fred loved motor vehicles no matter the situation, whether it was losing a tire on the way back to Arkansas and getting stopped by a small sapling and Fred saying “That was close” or laughing at his nephew and niece while trying to change a window motor and losing all the sockets in the door, then getting soaked by the rain. One of the things in recent memory that he loved was to be called Uncle Skittles and Adventure Boy by his great niece. Fred loved his family no matter where they were or what they were doing.
