Terry Raymer, 70, of Oshkosh passed away Monday afternoon, May 30, 2022 at the Regional West Garden County Hospital surrounded by his family. Memorial Services will be held at 2:00 p.m. Friday, June 3, 2022 at the Oshkosh Wesleyan Church with Pastor Bruce Neal officiating.&nbsp; Services will conclude at the church. The funeral service will be streamed live via the Holechek-Bondegard Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/hbfunerals) and available to watch after the service.

Per Terry's wishes, cremation has taken place. Memorials in Terry's name can be made to the family for later designation. Holechek-Bondegard Funeral Home and Cremations in Oshkosh is serving the Raymer family. Terry Lynn Raymer was born April 17, 1952 in Chadron NE to Douglas and Vera Raymer. He was the youngest of their four children. After attending schools in Chadron and working there for a few years Terry moved to Oshkosh in 1971 to work for his brother Gerald in his body shop. He eventually went to work for the Garden County Road Department and then served as Garden County Weed Superintendent until his retirement. On October 21st&nbsp;1974 Terry was united in marriage to Pamela Kugler. They had two children, Kelli Jo and Chad Lynn. Chad preceded him in death but presented him with two beautiful granddaughters, Timberly and Aiva. Kelli Jo gave him four handsome grandsons, Bryce, Bryant, Joshua and Jacob. Terry was very proud and spoke often of his grandchildren and looked forward to their visits. He told them many “when I was your age” stories, which caused a few eye rolls. Perhaps his favorite thing was “shooting the breeze” with family and friends. He enjoyed hunting and fishing for as long as he was able. He loved sitting and watching his son Chad work in the garage on his “rat rod” and other projects.

Terry was preceded in death by his parents, his son Chad, and brother Doug. He will be dearly missed by his wife Pamela of Oshkosh, daughter Kelli Jo Iverson (Brooks) of North Platte NE, grandchildren Bryce Iverson, Bryant Iverson (Shay), Joshua Iverson and Jacob Iverson (Emma) of North Platte, Timberly and Aiva Raymer of Alliance NE, Patience Lynn Boyce of Kearney NE, Pam’s stepmother Terry Kugler of Oshkosh, brother Gerald (Pattie) Raymer of Alliance NE, sister LaDeanne Dawkins of Ft.

Arrangements by Govier Brothers of Broken Bow and officiated by Pastor Tim Peterson of the Broken Bow EFC.

Waynard Anderson was born to John Wm (Bill) and Pauline (Polly) (Yeager) Anderson on June 4, 1927.&nbsp; He was 6th&nbsp;in a family of nine children and grew up and worked on the farm in Phelps County, for many years farming with horses.&nbsp; As a young child, his family took him to Sunday School at the Emmaus and Holcomb Evangelical Free Churches. Then in 1944, the Holcomb Church hosted evangelistic meetings and out of 15 kids in their youth group, five of them including Waynard went forward to commit to follow Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord. As a young man he participated in local rodeos and parades and taught Sunday School.&nbsp; While attending youth group activities at the Westmark church near Loomis he met a young lady, Maxine Holmes. She also liked horses and farm and ranch life.&nbsp; They married on January 22, 1950, right after the morning worship service at the Westmark Evangelical Free Church.&nbsp; At her passing, they had been married 66 years. They lived in Phelps County, farming and ranching for their first 25 years of marriage, while starting their family, three boys and a girl.&nbsp; He was involved in Cattle Feeder’s Association, the Funk Lion’s Club, 4-H leadership, and served on the school board at District R-5 and was an active member in the Holcomb EFC.&nbsp; He completed his education and became a certified cattle buyer and bought cattle for local cattlemen throughout the area for many years. Waynard also enjoyed being a rodeo stock contractor with his brother Ward, providing stock for local amateur rodeos as well as putting on their own rodeos. Following the dream of ranching, the couple moved several times, first to Loup and then Blaine County, then to Montana on the eastern slopes of the Rockies and finally to western Nebraska near Alliance.&nbsp; They retired and relocated to Broken Bow in 2008. &nbsp;After suffering a fractured hip in January 2018, he moved to Mother Hull Home in Kearney. He has always been involved in church ministry wherever they lived, serving as deacon, trustee and usher. He also was an active member of the Gideons. His favorite place to serve was usher and he loved to teach young people in the church how to welcome and encourage church attenders.&nbsp; He also enjoyed cooking and serving men’s fellowship breakfasts.&nbsp; He always felt that two essentials in life were coffee and ice cream.

Survivors include his brother and wife, Ward and Connie Anderson of Elm Creek and sister-in-law Sharon Anderson of Elm Creek, and numerous nephews and nieces.&nbsp; He is also survived by his children: Daniel and Wanda Anderson of St Joseph, Missouri; June and Eric Petersen of Kearney; Wylie and Janet Anderson of Kimball; and Brad and Joye Anderson of Albion; ten grandchildren with their spouses; 33 great grandchildren, and one great great grandchild: Lucy, daughter of Trent and Sophie Shell.

Waynard Anderson (1927-2022)

Barney McNulty, Jr, 88, of Cozad, Nebraska, died May 29, 2022, in Cozad, Nebraska, at Emerald Care.&nbsp;

Barney McNulty Jr. was born in Cozad, Nebraska, on May 7, 1934, to Bernard and Gladys Pearl (Weaver) McNulty.&nbsp; He attended school in Cozad.&nbsp; He left school to work and help support the family when his father became ill.&nbsp; He was joined in marriage to Leona Faye Major of Lexington, NE on November 14, 1953. They loved and lived for 55 years, until Leona’s death in 2008 after a long battle with cancer.&nbsp; They were blessed with four daughters, Bonnia, Wendy, Kristie, and Tami.&nbsp;

Barney was a certified auto mechanic and began his career at R &amp; P Garage in Cozad.&nbsp; A few years later, Barney became a certified appliance repair technician, starting his career with Boerkircher’s.&nbsp; When Boerkircher’s closed their appliance sales years later, Barney started his own business and operated Barney’s Appliance Repair for years.&nbsp; He then worked for Southview Manor in Cozad in the maintenance department until his retirement. Barney and Leona retired and moved to their cabin at Lake McConaughy, near Lewellen, Nebraska.&nbsp; They enjoyed being retired and living at Big Mac and fishing the days away.&nbsp; They welcomed visitors as if they were already family.&nbsp; Everyone knew that when Barney started up the John Deere “A” tractor, they had about five minutes to get down and be in the boat if they wanted to go fishing that morning.&nbsp; The lake cabin became the meeting place for the families on weekends and holidays and everyone was welcome to come and park a camper and enjoy themselves.&nbsp; Barney and Leona loved traveling to Lake Pierre, South Dakota for Coho salmon fishing, Canada for walleye fishing, and Homer, Alaska for halibut fishing.&nbsp; Barney and Leona enjoyed many Husker football bowl games through bus tours and loved every one of them. Barney returned to the Cozad area after Leona’s death in 2008. While she couldn’t be replaced, Barney was lucky enough to meet one special woman at church who brought a new joy into his life.&nbsp; He and Patsy Maendele were married on April 2, 2009, at the First Christian Church in Cozad, Nebraska.&nbsp; Pat’s two children, Pamala Maendele, and Jill (Rick) Esslinger of Cozad, NE made family gatherings complete again.&nbsp; Pat was a God-send for Barney.&nbsp; Barney and Pat loved to travel and would travel to Rosebud on weekends for the fun and food.&nbsp; Before Covid-19, they could be found at Burger King at least once each day where they would meet up with and enjoyed coffee and the company of their friends.&nbsp; Their church family meant the world to them.&nbsp; Their love for their rescue pets was undeniable.&nbsp; Bless their hearts for rescuing each other. Barney taught us many things in how he lived.&nbsp; His home was a place of warmth, love, laughter and celebration. We spent so much time in the kitchen where we experienced fine cooking, baking, planning, playing cards, and memorable storytelling during each fishing trip. He was always there for us. He treated us all as a gift when the truth is he was ours. We will carry him with us always from one generation to the next and their stories will live on.&nbsp; We cherish our times and wonderful memories.&nbsp; Thank you for the road map and your gift of a life well lived. Barney gave the best big bear hugs and they will be missed.&nbsp;

Barney’s favorite line was from a George Straight song he loved: "Let me tell you a secret about a father's love, A secret that my daddy said was just between us He said daddies don't just love their children every now and then It's a love without end, amen."

Barney leaves behind his loving wife, Patsy Maendele McNulty; Daughters; Bonnia (Robert) Morris of Puyallup, Washington; Wendy (Michael) Judy, Hastings, Nebraska; Kristie (Gregory) Wagner, Lexington, Nebraska; Tami (Kal) Orr of North Liberty, Iowa; and step-daughter Jill (Rick) Esslinger of Cozad, Nebraska.&nbsp; Grandsons:&nbsp; Brett (Daisy) Wagner, Lexington, NE; Shane Wagner, Lexington, NE; and Joshua Orr, Fargo, North Dakota;&nbsp; Granddaughters:&nbsp; Michele (Keith) White, Hastings, NE; Amber (Jason) Donohue, McCook, NE; April (Erich) Turner, Puyallup, WA; Robyn (Robert) Mackenzie, Puyallup, WA; Tiffany (Joel) Miller, Fort Calhoun, NE; Brandi (Joseph) Kohl, North Liberty, IA; Rickey (Chelsea) Maendele, Cozad, NE; Bill (Jami) Maendele, Kearney, NE; and Mica Esslinger, Cozad, NE; 17 great-grandchildren; (1) great-great-grandchild; brother in law, Gene (Jennifer) Kahre; and many nieces and nephews.&nbsp; He also leaves behind many dear friends from the First Christian Church and extended family members.

 </figure>Barney McNulty, Jr, 88, of Cozad, Nebraska, died May 29, 2022, in Cozad, Nebraska, at Emerald Care.&nbsp;Barney McNulty Jr. was born in Cozad, Nebraska, on May 7, 1934, to Bernard and Gladys Pearl (Weaver) McNulty.&nbsp; He attended school in Cozad.&nbsp; He left school to work and help support the family when his father became ill.&nbsp; He was joined in marriage to Leona Faye Major of Lexington, NE on November 14, 1953. They loved and lived for 55 years, until Leona’s death in 2008 after a long battle with cancer.&nbsp; They were blessed with four daughters, Bonnia, Wendy, Kristie, and Tami.&nbsp;Barney was a certified auto mechanic and began his career at R &amp; P Garage in Cozad.&nbsp; A few years later, Barney became a certified appliance repair technician, starting his career with Boerkircher’s.&nbsp; When Boerkircher’s closed their appliance sales years later, Barney started his own business and operated Barney’s Appliance Repair for years.&nbsp; He then worked for Southview Manor in Cozad in the maintenance department until his retirement. Barney and Leona retired and moved to their cabin at Lake McConaughy, near Lewellen, Nebraska.&nbsp; They enjoyed being retired and living at Big Mac and fishing the days away.&nbsp; They welcomed visitors as if they were already family.&nbsp; Everyone knew that when Barney started up the John Deere “A” tractor, they had about five minutes to get down and be in the boat if they wanted to go fishing that morning.&nbsp; The lake cabin became the meeting place for the families on weekends and holidays and everyone was welcome to come and park a camper and enjoy themselves.&nbsp; Barney and Leona loved traveling to Lake Pierre, South Dakota for Coho salmon fishing, Canada for walleye fishing, and Homer, Alaska for halibut fishing.&nbsp; Barney and Leona enjoyed many Husker football bowl games through bus tours and loved every one of them. Barney returned to the Cozad area after Leona’s death in 2008. While she couldn’t be replaced, Barney was lucky enough to meet one special woman at church who brought a new joy into his life.&nbsp; He and Patsy Maendele were married on April 2, 2009, at the First Christian Church in Cozad, Nebraska.&nbsp; Pat’s two children, Pamala Maendele, and Jill (Rick) Esslinger of Cozad, NE made family gatherings complete again.&nbsp; Pat was a God-send for Barney.&nbsp; Barney and Pat loved to travel and would travel to Rosebud on weekends for the fun and food.&nbsp; Before Covid-19, they could be found at Burger King at least once each day where they would meet up with and enjoyed coffee and the company of their friends.&nbsp; Their church family meant the world to them.&nbsp; Their love for their rescue pets was undeniable.&nbsp; Bless their hearts for rescuing each other. Barney taught us many things in how he lived.&nbsp; His home was a place of warmth, love, laughter and celebration. We spent so much time in the kitchen where we experienced fine cooking, baking, planning, playing cards, and memorable storytelling during each fishing trip. He was always there for us. He treated us all as a gift when the truth is he was ours. We will carry him with us always from one generation to the next and their stories will live on.&nbsp; We cherish our times and wonderful memories.&nbsp; Thank you for the road map and your gift of a life well lived. Barney gave the best big bear hugs and they will be missed.&nbsp;Barney’s favorite line was from a George Straight song he loved: "Let me tell you a secret about a father's love, A secret that my daddy said was just between us He said daddies don't just love their children every now and then It's a love without end, amen."Barney leaves behind his loving wife, Patsy Maendele McNulty; Daughters; Bonnia (Robert) Morris of Puyallup, Washington; Wendy (Michael) Judy, Hastings, Nebraska; Kristie (Gregory) Wagner, Lexington, Nebraska; Tami (Kal) Orr of North Liberty, Iowa; and step-daughter Jill (Rick) Esslinger of Cozad, Nebraska.&nbsp; Grandsons:&nbsp; Brett (Daisy) Wagner, Lexington, NE; Shane Wagner, Lexington, NE; and Joshua Orr, Fargo, North Dakota;&nbsp; Granddaughters:&nbsp; Michele (Keith) White, Hastings, NE; Amber (Jason) Donohue, McCook, NE; April (Erich) Turner, Puyallup, WA; Robyn (Robert) Mackenzie, Puyallup, WA; Tiffany (Joel) Miller, Fort Calhoun, NE; Brandi (Joseph) Kohl, North Liberty, IA; Rickey (Chelsea) Maendele, Cozad, NE; Bill (Jami) Maendele, Kearney, NE; and Mica Esslinger, Cozad, NE; 17 great-grandchildren; (1) great-great-grandchild; brother in law, Gene (Jennifer) Kahre; and many nieces and nephews.&nbsp; He also leaves behind many dear friends from the First Christian Church and extended family members.

Florence “Flo” Rita Fuchuck, age 87, of McCook, NE was called home by her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on Sunday, May 22, 2022 at her home in McCook.

Flo was born June 20, 1934 in East Boston, MA to parents Armando and Carmelinda (Intonti) Rossi.&nbsp;&nbsp;She was the third oldest of four daughters who grew up in Boston, graduating from East Boston High School with the Class of 1952.&nbsp; Growing up in Boston, Flo often traveled to Everett, MA to go dancing and eventually met the love of her life, Sylvester “Sy” Fuchuck.&nbsp; Flo and Sy were married on June 4, 1955 in East Boston. To this union, four children were born.&nbsp;&nbsp;The family moved numerous times over the years for Sy’s work, living in nine different states before settling in McCook in 1995.&nbsp; Flo lived a full life and loved seeing the country.

Even though Flo lived in many states over the years, she called Nebraska her home.&nbsp; Flo’s love for people was unmatched and she quickly made an impact on all those she met in the McCook community.&nbsp; Perhaps Flo’s greatest qualities were her sense of humor, and love for Christ and others.

Shane Michael Huff was born January 18, 1992, in Colby, Kansas to Carol Macklin and James Huff. The youngest of three, Shane would always follow his brothers Kody and Boone around. Except when he was glued to his mom or Grandma Huff. Over the years, Shane made many lifelong friends, several of which began as soon as he started school. He played on the Brewster, Kansas, football team for most of his high school career, graduated in 2010 and never lost his passion for the sport. In 2011, Shane moved to rural Enders, Nebraska, to be closer to family and started working at Artistic Woodworking. About a year later, Shane changed career paths and began working for Mike and Laura Lorimer down at The Auto Shop where he worked for 10 years. In 2021, Shane decided he needed a career change and started working at Pivot Electric where he made fast friends and loved his work. In 2013, Shane reconnected with an old friend, Jenn Beckman, when down in Colby, Kansas, visiting. Their relationship blossomed over the years, and they were married in October 2018. They welcomed their beautiful daughter Lillian Rose in 2019. Even through trials and tribulations, nobody doubted how much he and Jenn cared for each other or how much he loved his daughter. Lilly meant the world to her daddy, and he made sure to remind her every chance he got. Shane's bright light was extinguished on May 8, 2022. Though, his life was cut short, the impact he made on the hearts and minds of those closest to him will be felt for many years to come. Shane was preceded in death by his brother Kuper Jones, Grandfather Merle Macklin Sr. stepfather Merle Macklin Jr; and grandmother and grandfather Huff.
