William B. Cavitt  (1949-2020)

Robert Donald Pierce, age 94, died October 30, 2020 at his home in Sumner, Nebraska, after a short illness.

Robert Pierce, better known as Bob, was born March 5, 1926 in Sumner, Nebraska to Jesse and Grace (Lahm) Pierce. Twelve days after his birth, his mother died from complications. Before her death, she and Jesse made the heart-wrenching decision to ask her sister, Mary, to raise the baby as her own. She and her husband, Ralph Scoville provided a loving home and seven younger sisters and brothers for Bob.&nbsp; Jesse later remarried to Lucille (Linville) and they gave Bob two half-brothers. Bob always said he was the luckiest guy in the world because he had two families.

Bob grew up in Sumner, attending the Sumner school all twelve years, and graduating in 1943. It was during high school that he changed his last name from Scoville back to Pierce, at Ralph’s urging. He worked on the Paul Porath farm for a short time and then took a job at the Fees Service Station in Eddyville, Nebraska until 1944 when he entered the U.S.&nbsp; Army at the age of 18. Shortly after basic training, he was shipped overseas.&nbsp; After 40 days of watching everyone around him fight sea-sickness, he landed on Leyte Island where he was assigned to the Americal Infantry Division, which was in combat on Cebu Island. Bob celebrated his 19th birthday in a foxhole on Leyte Island and spent 89 days in combat as an Infantry Rifleman. As a platoon runner, Bob carried his gear plus his platoon’s 50-pound radio, which was their lifeline, and only contact with headquarters.

After Cebu, the Americal division went into amphibious training in preparation for invading the mainland of Japan. While Bob was enroute to Japan, the Atomic bombs were dropped, and the war ended. Bob returned home in October 1946 and was discharged in November. It was not until his later years that he started sharing his experiences during the War. He was deeply impacted by those memories and was honored to be a veteran and to be part of the “Greatest Generation.”

On June 4, 1948, Bob married Marjorie Newquist who lived on a farm just west of Sumner. He worked for Scoville Oil Company for six years and then farmed with his father-in-law. In 1958, he became the Postmaster in Sumner and served as Postmaster until his retirement in 1989. During his tenure as Postmaster, and until his death, he continued to farm. Even at the age of 94 he enjoyed checking the cows.

It seems impossible to speak of consolation in the face of such loss, but the family takes great comfort in KNOWING that Bob will spend eternity in the presence of the Lord and a host of family and friends in heaven. Bob accepted Jesus as his savior during the summer of 1943 at Polk Bible Camp. He and Marj faithfully attended the Evangelical Free Church, which later became the United Church of Sumner, all their married life. They nurtured a Christ-loving family, opened their home to pastors and visiting missionaries, and served the Church in many different capacities for well over 60 years.

Bob loved farming, being involved in Church activities, and driving around the countryside. He enjoyed living in Sumner and was active in many aspects of community life. He belonged to the American Legion and the Commercial Club, he served on the School board and was a member of the Board for the Dawson County Transit Bus. Bob was a charter member of the Sumner Rescue Unit and served there for many years.

Above all this, he cherished his family, which was evidenced in his involvement in their lives. Even at 94, he attended as many birthday parties and ball games as his health would allow. He was more than pleased to know that his family was following in his footsteps, loving God, and humbly seeking His will.

Bob never knew a stranger and will always remain very much alive in the memories of those who loved and respected him. He leaves to treasure his memory, six children: Margene (Russ) Bauer, Amherst; Richard (Janna) Pierce, Miller; Ronald (Brenda) Pierce, Sumner; Marilyn (Lynn) Crouse, Hutchinson, KS; Marianne Pierce, Holdrege; and, Randall (Jean) Pierce, Sumner; 18 grandchildren and their spouses; 12 great grandchildren; one sister; four brothers and their spouses; two sisters-in-law; and, many relatives and friends.

He was preceded in death by his parents and stepmother, his beloved wife Marjorie, one grandson, one sister, three brothers, five sisters-in-law and five brothers-in-law.

Funeral Services will be on Monday, November 9, 2020 at 10:00 a.m. at the United Church of Sumner with Pastor Ken Hutson and Pastor Tom Macy, officiating. The service will be livestreamed via the Reynolds-Love Funeral Home Facebook page.

Visitation will be held on Sunday, November 8, 2020 from 3-6 p.m. at Reynolds-Love Funeral Home in Lexington, Nebraska.

Social distancing and face masks are encouraged.

Interment with Military Honors will be in the Sumner Cemetery at Sumner, Nebraska.

In lieu of flowers, memorials are kindly suggested to the Sumner Rescue Unit, United Church of Sumner, Sumner American Legion Post 41, or KJLT Radio Station in North Platte, Nebraska.

Dale Wayne Fickle, 71, a longtime resident of Culbertson, passed away early Saturday morning, October 31, 2020 at his home in Culbertson.  He was born to Charles William and Ruth Ann (Meyer) Fickle on December 7, 1948 in McCook, Nebraska.  Dale attended school in Culbertson where he graduated from high school.  After high school he began his career with the United States Navy.

Dale took the time to share his military experiences.&nbsp; “I served as a hospital corpsman assigned to the Marine Corps for the majority of my naval career. &nbsp;While serving with the 2nd&nbsp;BN and MARDIV BLT, we entered Vietnam on several occasions. &nbsp;We provided medical care and support as MEDCAP unit. &nbsp;After my duties with 2/4 BLT, I was transferred to Naskapi Point in the Philippine Islands. &nbsp;I was in the Vietnam theater when the refugees arrived and were quarantined; and assisted supervising the evacuation of the sick and wounded in Operation New Life. &nbsp;My main duties as a corpsman were to provide medical care to the sick and injured Marines and Navy personnel. &nbsp;Upon my return from my overseas tours, our family lived in South Bend, Indiana, San Clemente, California, Gulfport Mississippi then back to California where I retired after 24 years of active duty and then six years as a ready reserve.”

Dale met and married his wife, Virginia Kelley, while stationed at Camp Pendleton in 1972. &nbsp;Together, they raised their two daughters, Tammy Jo and Stacey. &nbsp;He led his family on many adventures camping and assisting the girls in restoring their first cars, along with his classic 1948 Chevy pickup. &nbsp;Dale was a motorcycle enthusiast and he and Virginia rode all over the country with the clubs they belonged to and also rode with the Run For The Wall Vietnam Veterans from Pomona, California to Washington DC. &nbsp;The family moved to Culbertson, Nebraska in 2002, where they reside, today.

In October of 2019, Dale participated in the Hall County Hero Flight and had the opportunity of a lifetime: to be a part of placing the wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington Cemetery. &nbsp;He was so honored to be selected and enjoyed the ceremony with so much pride.

Dale’s charity work included participating in dressing up as Santa Claus for fundraisers collecting toys for Toys for Tots and the McCook Toy Box. &nbsp;He loved his family and treasured each friendship he made along his life. &nbsp;We have lost a kind, compassionate and devoted husband and father, a loyal friend and fiercely patriotic American. &nbsp;He will live in our hearts forever.

Dale was preceded in death by his parents.

Survivors include his wife, Virginia Fickle of Culbertson, NE and formerly of Vista, California; daughter, Tamara Joanne Fickle and significant other, Francis Purcell, of Escondido, California; daughter, Stacey Michelle Fickle-Ellington of Culbertson; sister, LeAnne Frick and husband, Elmer, of McCook; brother, James Harley Fickle and wife, Kathy, of Missouri; brother, Charles Richard Fickle of McCook; brother-in-law, Martin Kelley and wife, Estella, of Bellflower, California ; sister-in-law, Kathleen Leroy and husband, Hubert, of Surprise, Arizona; as well and numerous nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.

Dale Wayne Fickle  (1949-2020)

Arlyn LeRoy Osborn, a lifetime Cozad, Nebraska area resident passed away October 29th, 2020 at Meadowlark Pointe Assisted Living in Cozad, Nebraska.&nbsp; &nbsp;He was 80 years old. Arlyn was born to Clarence and Minnie (Robertson) Osborn at his parents’ home on Redfern table north of Cozad on December 5, 1939.&nbsp; Arlyn was a farmer &amp; rancher in the Dawson County, Nebraska area for over 60 years.

Arlyn graduated from Cozad High School with the Class of 1958. He began his farming career with his Dad on their farm in the sandhills north of Cozad. Through his high school years, Arlyn worked as a hired hand for Herb and Glenda France on their farm. On October 3, 1959 Arlyn married his high school sweetheart Kay Sculley.&nbsp; Arlyn and Kay bought their home place that same year and raised their three children, Kevin, Kim and Kraig there.

Arlyn built his farm and ranch operation over time. He started his cattle operation with a small herd that he built over the years.&nbsp; Arlyn was awarded Nebraska Outstanding Young Farmer in 1968. In the late 1960’s, he expanded his operation by forming a partnership with Jack Randecker of Farman, Nebraska.&nbsp; Arlyn and Jack continued to work together for over 50 years, that relationship continues today with Arlyn and Jacks’ sons.&nbsp; Arlyn was very proud of how he built his cattle operation and took great pride in the black angus bloodline.&nbsp; He would study bloodlines and watch auctions for hours.&nbsp; His pride was on bull auction day to sit with his sons and grandsons and bid on the bulls they had researched.&nbsp; He didn’t always end up with his top pick but he had alternates lined up.&nbsp; If he was not watching an auction, he was watching a rodeo, no matter if it was current day or a rodeo from the 70’s.&nbsp; Arlyn was a proud member of the Knightriders.&nbsp; He loved westerns… his favorites were Gunsmoke and Bonanza.

During the harvest of 1984, Arlyn was involved in a farm accident which resulted in the loss of his left leg. Arlyn spent many weeks recovering following the accident.&nbsp; He returned home and never let it slow him down. Arlyn continued to ride horses, run tractors, mow alfalfa and work hard for the rest of his life.&nbsp; Giving up was never an option for him, that determination and persistence are traits he has passed down to his children.

Arlyn was a member of the Cozad Elks Lodge #2250 and was Exalted Ruler from 1972-1973.&nbsp; He was present at his sons and grandsons’ initiations into the Elks Lodge and proud of the three-generation legacy.&nbsp; Arlyn never really had any hobbies that did not revolve around working on the farm. He enjoyed going to the races to watch his sons and grandsons race stock cars. His best times were loading up the pickup with his red heeler dog ‘Patches, to either go check cows or mow hay. His good friend Stan asked him recently, “Arlyn what is your favorite part of farming”.&nbsp; Arlyn answered with a big white smile and gentle laugh. “mowing hay”.&nbsp; He was always happy in the swather mowing hay, with his dog right by his side always.

Arlyn is survived by his children:&nbsp; Sons, Kevin Osborn and wife Teresa, Kraig Osborn and wife Ann, both of Cozad.&nbsp; Daughter, Kim Wolkenhauer and husband Herb of Lincoln, Nebraska. Grandchildren: Ryan Osborn of Denton, Colton Osborn and wife Stephanie, Cale Osborn and wife Ashley, Blake Osborn and Carrie Osborn, all of Cozad; 7 Great-Grandchildren: Ava, Zach, Cole, Ashton, Alec, Harper and Caine; Nephews: Bruce Osborn and wife Jean of Littleton, Colorado, David Osborn of Grand Island, Nebraska, Terry Osborn of Lincoln, Nebraska; Mike Sculley of North Platte, Nebraska; and numerous cousins and friends.

Arlyn was preceded in death by his wife, Kay, his parents Clarence and Minnie Osborn, brothers and sister in-laws: Rex Osborn and wife Pat,&nbsp; Jim Osborn and wife Doris.

A memorial has been established in Arlyn’s name for later designation. Online condolences may be shared at berrymanfuneralhome.com. Services will be Tuesday, November 3, 2020 at 2:00 p.m. at Cozad Cemetery. Visitation will be Monday, November 2, 2020 from 2 p.m. to 7 p.m. with family present from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. at Berryman Funeral Home.
