Daniel "Danny" Dean James (1970-2023)

Dale A. Seng, 76, of Callaway, Nebraska passed away on Sunday, April 30, 2023, surrounded by his loving family after a long battle with COPD due to a lifetime of smoking, which he wished he never got started.

He was born on April 28, 1947, in Omak, Washington, to Herman and Doris (Gehrke) Seng. Throughout his life, Dale lived in Washington State, Montana, Wyoming, Calgary, Canada and Idaho before finally settling in Callaway, Nebraska to be closer to family. He worked in various locations such as sawmills, timber, lumber mills, Hyster, Boeing and subsidiaries. His specialty was being a diesel heavy equipment operator and automotive mechanic. On August 21, 1965, Dale married the love of his life, Dora Burrows.

Dale was incredibly independent and a very busy man. He loved to invent and tinker with things that were technical or mechanical while listening to 50s and 60s Rock and Roll along with his favorite radio DJ; Wolf Man Jack. He was always looking to improve any tool or process to make it work more efficiently. He believed that better quality tools created better quality work. Dale was known to be a Gadget Guy. He had a gadget for everything. He also had quite a knack for woodworking. He created extremely detailed birdhouses, spice racks, toy accessories and many other items. He always excelled with his inventions and crafts because he was an ambitious and excessively detail oriented person.

When Dale wasn't creating, or fixing different things, he was indoors watching his favorite tv shows. He loved Gunsmoke, Smokey and the Bandit, Airwolf, How it's Made and animated Pink Panther. He enjoyed having a Pepsi and some double stuffed Oreos. You could also find him having an ice-cold beer and listening to the sound of quiet nature. He was a dedicated hopeful hunter and fisherman. He had a love for old cars, motorcycles and heavy equipment. One of Dale's dreams was one day having a helicopter business and giving tours to the locals.

Those left to honor his memory are his loving wife, Dora Seng of Callaway; children, Stacey (Laura) Seng and Shelley (Marcus) Pandorf, both of Callaway, Nebraska; brother Dane (Dorothy) of Prineville, Oregon, sister Beth (Wayne) Rogers of Tarkio, Missouri; his grandkids who always called him “Papa”; Shawnee (Casey) Durner, Nic (Crystal) Seng, Dakota, Kira, Jessie and Tesa; great-grandkids, Vega, Saige, Piper, Sawyer, and twin boys he just missed meeting, William Vaughn and Bennett Hudson, as well as nieces, nephews, extended family and friends.

The family is honoring Dale's wish for cremation.

There are no services planned at this time. (But if you would like to donate to a fund for the trees being planted for Dale this fall it would be most welcomed.)

Timm-Reynolds-Love Funeral Home in Callaway is honored to be assisting the family. Please share online condolences with the family by visiting: reynoldslovefuneralhome.com

Eldon L. Brock, Sr. (1936-2023)

Ranold Calvin Fisher ,69, of Tryon passed away May 11, 2023 at his home.

He was born on February 18, 1954 in North Platte to George Calvin and Dorothy Jean(Wiley) Fisher. Jean later married James Doyle and the family moved to Tryon, where they learned to love ranching.

Randy graduated from McPherson County High School in 1972. He married Kathy Arensdorf on March 9, 1974. To this union a daughter, Melissa and son, Chad were born.

Randy joined the Nebraska National Guard in May, 1974. He left for basic training in Fort Polk, LA in October, 1974.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;He was transferred to Fort Sill, OK for advanced training. He belonged to the Airborne Rangers Company and qualified expert rating in rifles. He served three years on the Nuclear Weapons team which was rated top team in the US, overseas and stateside. During his time in the Guards, he also qualified as expert in mortar and grenade. As a Guard member he helped locally during blizzards getting hay and feed to ranchers. He also served in Supply and served as armorer for the unit servicing weapons.

Randy was a 4-H leader and introduced shooting sports to many young people in McPherson County sharing his love of guns and shooting.

Randy loved his family and was very proud of their accomplishments. He attended events if he could and cheered them on at the event or from his recliner at home whether it was volleyball, football, basketball, track, baseball, speech, dance, soccer, music, or aikido. He was proud of the accomplishments they made in school and their careers.

Randy loved his ranching and cows. Branding was his favorite time of year. When he lost the land lease, he sold his cattle and purchased the Ironhorse Steakhouse. He was a good cook. His prime rib was “delish”. He loved to sit and visit with his customers until it got late and then it was time for them to leave, and as many know, there was never a shortage of stories (or perhaps tall tales) to be told. Randy was a member of a mountain man rendezvous group. He attended rendezvous in Chadron, Gordon, Valentine and South Dakota. He loved shooting his flintlock rifle. He also loved hunting and fishing.&nbsp;&nbsp;He rode his motorcycle for a time with the American Veterans Motorcycle Club until he was no longer able.&nbsp;&nbsp;In his “retired” years he was bus driver for McPherson County Schools.

Adam Steve Rodriguez (1964-2023)

&nbsp; Rene Diaz Sr. of Julesburg, a beloved husband, father, and grandfather, passed away on May 10, 2023, at the Ogallala Community Hospital. Rene was born in Julesburg, Colorado, to Trinidad and Ester (Arellano) Diaz. He spent his early years working with his father and brothers on the McGinley farm before his family eventually purchased their own farm, situated in the northeast portion of Sedgwick County, Colorado, halfway between Big Springs and Julesburg. Rene attended Oakwood School in Texas and, later, the Julesburg High School after they relocated back to Colorado. On January 8, 1950, Rene married the love of his life, Simona Navarro, at St. Luke's Catholic Church in Ogallala. Their union was blessed with six children. The couple lived and raised their family on the farm. Rene eventually retired at the age of 84 after spending the better part of a century working in agriculture. Rene was a man of strong character, known for his unwavering optimism, honesty, and generosity. He was a true embodiment of hard work and dedication to his family and farm. Rene's spirit was infectious, always finding ways to share or make others laugh. He was an avid Denver Broncos fan, a fisherman, and a man who held his family as his number one priority, with farming coming in a close second. His heart belonged to his grandchildren, and he was a wealth of wisdom with a talent for building anything that his family or farm needed. Rene was preceded in death by his two brothers, Salvador Diaz and James Diaz, and five sisters, Elvira Diaz, Bertha Hernandez, Josephine Blea, Dora Jimenez, and Delia Jiminez. He is survived by his wife of 73 years, Simona of Julesburg; children, Rene Diaz Jr. of Piedmont, SD, Ricardo "Richard" Diaz of North Platte, Ramon "Raymond" (Jane) Diaz of Ogallala, Ruben (Karen) Diaz of North Platte, Simona M. (Anselmo) Tolentino Jr of Brighton CO, and Sara (Mike) Beam of Sutherland; along with 23 grandchildren, 40 great-grandchildren, two great-great-grandchildren and many other relatives and friends. A memorial has been established in Rene's memory for later designation by his family. Condolences may be shared at <a href="http://prairiehillsfuneralhome.com">prairiehillsfuneralhome .com</a>, where the Mass will also be streamed live for those unable to attend. A Memorial Mass will be held on Thursday, May 18, 2023, at 2 pm at St. Luke's Catholic Church with Fr. Bryan Ernest as Celebrant. Inurnment will follow at the Ogallala Cemetery. A Wake service and Rosary will be on Thursday at 1:30 pm at St. Luke's Catholic Church. Prairie Hills Funeral Home of Ogallala is in charge of arrangements.&nbsp;&nbsp;
