Roger Glen Hagemeister, 93, Veteran, passed away on December 17, 2021 at his farm near Callaway with his loving wife by his side. &nbsp;Roger was born in Inland, NE on July 9, 1928 to William F. and Martha H. (Kloke) Hagemeister. Roger was raised on the Hagemeister homestead near Inland and graduated from Inland High School or, as he puts it, was kicked out with honors. Joining the service on March 20, 1951 Roger was discharged on April 4, 1957 as a Corporal after which he started working on a ranch in Colorado where he met Elizabeth Ann and it was love at first sight. Roger would often make excuses to go spend time with Elizabeth and they were married on November 8, 1953 in Ft. Morgan, CO. Shortly after they were married they left the homestead near Inland and moved to a farm by Callaway to make their own life. Roger would often say that he loved farming and he was a rancher as well. Fishing brought much enjoyment for Roger, especially going on the Canadian fishing trip with his best friend or son, Kirby. He was often playing softball or Go Kart racing with the boys and loved animals; having all kinds on the farm including baby deer and raccoon. Keeping with his love of animals, if you ever saw Roger in town in his truck everyone knew to beware the big German Shepherd that might bite you. Baseball on the tractor radio was a highlight for Roger and though he loved the Royals if he could find a game on the radio he would just keep working away. His greatest love was his family; be his children and spending time with them or his wonderful wife that he enjoyed being with. Roger is survived by the love of his life Elizabeth Ann; his children Corey Hagemeister (Sherry), Kirby Hagemeister (Lisa) and Shannon Peterson(Kevin); two grandchildren Brittney Peterson and Jared Peterson and many other family, friends and neighbors. &nbsp;He was preceded in death by his parents William and Martha; his brother Donald and sister Olga. Visitation will be held from 9:30 a.m. to service time on Wednesday, December 22, 2021 at Callaway United Methodist Church, 207 E.

Keith Alan Hinrichsen, age 52, of North Platte, passed from
this life December 15th, 2021. He was raised in North Platte, NE, and graduated
from North Platte High School in 1987.&nbsp;&nbsp;He then continued his
education at Wyoming Technical Institute.&nbsp;&nbsp;After completing his
education, he went to work for Body Works in North Platte as an automotive
technician, until opening his own business Keith’s Body
Shop.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

He was self- motivated &amp; created the very successful
auto body repair shop still known today as Keith’s Body Shop. He was a person
of extreme knowledge, determination and capability. He did everything big. He
spoiled his family rotten and provided his love through that.&nbsp;&nbsp;He
chose an early retirement at age 38 and followed all the kids’ sporting events.
He pretended to know just about everything and most of the time he did. He
loved traveling, and was a sucker for Disney World, he frequented Vegas and
introduced many family and friends to the Vegas strip. Along the road he
discovered a passion and incredible talent of building houses. He built, sold,
&amp; moved his family into new homes several times within a few short years
and each house created new memories. He had absolutely no schooling in
contracting, but was incredibly efficient &amp; skilled at it. He was incredibly
proud of the custom built homes that he built in North Platte. He had been with
his wife for 31 years. They climbed many ladders together &amp; traveled the
world. He will be dearly missed and remembered as an overly confident,
competitive and stubborn man, for that whom we loved.

Survivors include his wife Cathy of North Platte, NE; children,
Ali (Stephen) Friesell of Kearney, NE, and Alex Hinrichsen of Tucson, AZ;
grandchildren, Rowan, William and Nelle Friesell of Kearney; a sister, Kim
Hinrichsen; nephew, Gregory (Priscilla) Vega; niece, Nicole Vega, all of North

Lloyd Vernon Synovec passed away after a brief illness related to COVID-19 at Great Plains Health, in North Platte on December 15th at 93 years of age.&nbsp; He was born April 24, 1928 in Pierce, Nebraska to Roy and Tillie Synovec.&nbsp; He attended country school and graduated Pierce County High School early in 1945, in order to go to Navy boot camp in San Diego to serve in the World War. This was followed by electronics school in Del Monte, CA and was then assigned to spend the next 2.5 years cruising the South Pacific on a US Navy destroyer.&nbsp; He came home on leave near the end of the war where the train stopped briefly at the North Platte Canteen, where a local photographer captured him playing the piano to the delight of other enlisted travelers, documenting a prequel to the rest of his life. Due to the development of the atomic bomb, his naval term was shortened. Lloyd was discharged in November 1947, and started work in the printing business as a linotype operator.&nbsp; Starting in Norfolk Nebraska, he eventually moved to North Platte in 1952, working at “The Telegraph.”&nbsp; He started as a printer and was promoted to manage the commercial printing department. One of his department employees introduced him to her sister, Freda Pinkerton-Gregg.&nbsp; They were married in 1956 and had two children, Mark and Scott, in addition to his stepson Bob. Freda died in 1970, leaving him a single-parent with associated challenges.&nbsp; In 1975, he began working for the Nebraska Public Power District, to install and maintain the computer systems at the Gerald Gentleman Power Plant, in Sutherland.&nbsp; He retired from NPPD in 1989. He married Eileen Anderson in 1983 and they enjoyed retirement until her death in 2000. Lloyd always loved music, especially playing the piano, starting at 5 years old.&nbsp; He played throughout the life, including multiple dance bands in the Navy and later.&nbsp; A lifelong highlight was in 1987 when he accompanied Bob Hope’s wife Delores, sing “Thanks for the Memories” when President Ronald Reagan visited North Platte. Fate brought his favorite duet pianist Nola Moog, together in marriage in 2003. They continued to play many special events together throughout the area, up until shortly before Nola passed away in 2019. Lloyd always considered giving back to the community through volunteerism important, including Kiwana’s, American Legion, Eagles, Episcopal Church, and Meals-on-Wheels. He is preceded in death by his three wives, Freda (Pinkerton-Gregg), Eileen (Hermanni-Anderson), and Nola (Moog-Bahkora), his parents, Roy and Matilda (Tillie) Synovec and brother, Lester Synovec.&nbsp; He is survived by his sons: Mark (Susan) Synovec of Auburn, Kansas, Scott Synovec of Fort Worth, Texas and Bob (Muffy) Gregg of Superior, Nebraska; his step-daughters, JoAnn Griffin of North Platte and Jan (Neal) Pearson of Lake City, South Dakota; and stepsons, Gordon (Susan) Moog and Douglas (Danette) Moog of North Platte; 18 grandchildren; 44 great-grandchildren; and many nieces, nephews and other family.
