Clell Otto Reschke was born on September 5, 1924, in a dugout house near Campo, Colorado, on land homesteaded by his father. The family stayed in the Campo area until 1935, in the midst of the Dust Bowl, when they moved to Dexter, Kansas. At the age of 13, he worked on his uncle’s farm; his wages for the summer work were a 1931 Model-A coupe, and after receiving his license, drove that car to school for the next several years. He graduated from Dexter High School in 1942. Clell continued to work at his parents’ farm until February 1945, when he was inducted into the U.S. Army. After basic training, he was shipped to the Philippines and then to Japan. In the Army, he earned the rank of staff sergeant; as part of the 8th Army, occupational forces, his work was shipping troops back to the U.S. He was honorably discharged in November 1946. After the war, he worked with a custom wheat cutting crew, following the harvest from Oklahoma to North Dakota. From there, he traveled to Idaho to work as a carpenter on a dam being built on the Cascade River. When work stopped for the winter, he landed in Sandwich, Illinois, working at a booster station pumping natural gas. After a year, he transferred to the booster plant at Enterprise Kansas, and worked there for 10 years. On September 11, 1950, he married Vivian Cox. They were blessed with two children, and in 1960, he received the appointment as rural letter carrier for the Enterprise route. In his first year as carrier, he received a Superior Accomplishment Award from the U.S. Postal Service. Clell provided 30 years of reliable mail delivery to the rural Enterprise community, retiring from the Abilene post office in September 1990, with 2,500 hours of unused sick leave. Throughout his adult life, he enjoyed volunteer work. He was a member of the Enterprise Lions Club (since 1965); a volunteer fireman; a volunteer with city improvement projects, including the Enterprise water mains, the fire station-library building, and the eco-park. In fact, Enterprise recognized his work with a special plaque for devoting over 1,478 hours to the fire station-library construction. When Clell and Vivian purchased a winter home in Mercedes, Texas, he was honored with a permanent plaque to commemorate his volunteer work in the Paradise South Park. Numerous friends and neighbors utilized his “handyman” skills. He has been a member of the Enterprise United Methodist Church since 1951, often volunteering for building improvement projects and special events work. Clell was a loving father and grandfather who enjoyed delighting children. He loved a good joke, believed in hard work, and never missed an opportunity to enjoy ice cream. Clell passed on November 20, 2021, at Village Manor in Abilene.

The family stayed in the Campo area until 1935, in the midst of the Dust Bowl, when they moved to Dexter, Kansas. At the age of 13, he worked on his uncle’s farm; his wages for the summer work were a 1931 Model-A coupe, and after receiving his license, drove that car to school for the next several years. He graduated from Dexter High School in 1942. Clell continued to work at his parents’ farm until February 1945, when he was inducted into the U.S. Army. After basic training, he was shipped to the Philippines and then to Japan. In the Army, he earned the rank of staff sergeant; as part of the 8th Army, occupational forces, his work was shipping troops back to the U.S. He was honorably discharged in November 1946. After the war, he worked with a custom wheat cutting crew, following the harvest from Oklahoma to North Dakota. From there, he traveled to Idaho to work as a carpenter on a dam being built on the Cascade River. When work stopped for the winter, he landed in Sandwich, Illinois, working at a booster station pumping natural gas. After a year, he transferred to the booster plant at Enterprise Kansas, and worked there for 10 years. On September 11, 1950, he married Vivian Cox. They were blessed with two children, and in 1960, he received the appointment as rural letter carrier for the Enterprise route. In his first year as carrier, he received a Superior Accomplishment Award from the U.S. Postal Service. Clell provided 30 years of reliable mail delivery to the rural Enterprise community, retiring from the Abilene post office in September 1990, with 2,500 hours of unused sick leave. Throughout his adult life, he enjoyed volunteer work. He was a member of the Enterprise Lions Club (since 1965); a volunteer fireman; a volunteer with city improvement projects, including the Enterprise water mains, the fire station-library building, and the eco-park. In fact, Enterprise recognized his work with a special plaque for devoting over 1,478 hours to the fire station-library construction. When Clell and Vivian purchased a winter home in Mercedes, Texas, he was honored with a permanent plaque to commemorate his volunteer work in the Paradise South Park. Numerous friends and neighbors utilized his “handyman” skills. He has been a member of the Enterprise United Methodist Church since 1951, often volunteering for building improvement projects and special events work. Clell was a loving father and grandfather who enjoyed delighting children. He loved a good joke, believed in hard work, and never missed an opportunity to enjoy ice cream. Clell passed on November 20, 2021, at Village Manor in Abilene. He is survived by his wife Vivian; two children, Vickie (and Joe) Fellers, and Steve (and Linda) Reschke; two grandchildren, Laura (and Josh) Piland, and Craig (and Sarah) Reschke; five great-grandchildren; and sister-in-law Ruelena McGlasson.

<a href="https://www.bachelor-surber.com/obituary/Raymond-Malone">Obituary for Raymond E. Malone | Bachelor-Surber Funeral Home</a>

January 19, 1941 ~ November 17, 2021 (age 80)

Raymond Earl Malone, age 80, passed away at home, in Beavercreek, Ohio, on November 17, 2021, after battling leukemia. He was born January 19, 1941 in McNairy County, Tennessee to his late parents Robert Mack Malone and Annie Lorene Staton. He surpassed the initial life expectancy he was given by six months. He never lost hope and held onto his strength and determination to the very end.

In July 1960, age 19, Ray joined the Air Force. He traveled the world, serving in San Antonio, Texas and Lake Charles, Louisiana before meeting and marrying Johnita P. Reed in Salina, Kansas.&nbsp; It was there his first daughter Yvonne was born. Having come from very meager backgrounds, he together with his wife Johnita became prime examples of pulling yourself up by your bootstraps through sheer grit and strong work ethic.

A two year stint in Lampoc, California and then Guam followed by a year in Minot, North Dakota preceded his yea- long service in Vietnam in 1969.&nbsp; From 1970, he spent 7 years in Germany where daughters Ramona and Roxanne were born, before going to Tinker AFB, Oklahoma in 1977, where he ended his 20-year Air Force career in the 3rd MOB on September 30, 1980.&nbsp; These were some of the proudest days of his life, where he made friends and memories that lasted a lifetime and earned the nickname “Hawkeye,” apparently for being good at hitting bullseyes playing darts.&nbsp;

After the Air Force, Ray began his second career selling Buicks.&nbsp; These were the only cars he would sell. He loved cars in general, but always owned a Buick.&nbsp; His favorites were the Wildcat and LeSabre, but when the LeSabre was discontinued he moved to the Enclave.&nbsp;

Ray sold Buicks in Oklahoma City until the mid-1980s oil bust.&nbsp; Then he followed Johnita to her new job at Wright Patterson AFB, Ohio where he continued selling cars until Johnita passed away in 2001.&nbsp; It was through car sales that he later met and married Bonnie.&nbsp;

After retiring for the second time, Ray enjoyed traveling, going to breakfast with his buddies and doing his daily sudoku puzzles from the newspaper. He took great pride in his yard and home. He was a southern boy at heart and loved NASCAR. You knew not to call him when the race was on.&nbsp;

Ray will be missed for his colorful stories, jokes, patriotic pride, deep loyalty and bold authenticity. He was unafraid to speak his mind and a true diamond in the rough built from the school of tough love and hard knocks, courtesy of America’s greatest generation. Trustworthy, honest, brave, strong and reliable, he was a man to be admired.

Raymond lived a full life as a brother, husband, father and grandfather.&nbsp; He was a genuine friend to many, father-in-law to David, Ed and Brian, leaving behind wife Bonnie Malone, sister Brenda Malone, daughters Yvonne Ledford, Ramona Norman and Roxanne Albright, grandchildren Corey, Victoria, Taylor, Allison, Samantha, Jackson, Harrison and Hamilton. He was dearly loved and will be forever missed, giving&nbsp; us many memories and leaving an indelible print on our hearts.

Graveside services will be held at 11:00 a.m., Saturday, November 27, 2021 at the Balch Cemetery, rural Formoso, KS with Rev. Sang Hak Lee, officiating.

Interment will follow the services. Friends and family will gather just prior to the services on Saturday at Balch Cemetery.

<a href="https://www.stockhamfamily.com/obituaries/Diane-Fallis-2/">Diane Calcagno Fallis Obituary - Visitation &amp; Funeral Information (stockhamfamily.com)</a>

Diane Calcagno-Fallis passed peacefully on November 5, 2021, after a hard battle with brain cancer at the age of 60. Her devoted husband of 24 years, Douglas, was by her side. Diane was born on January 2, 1961, in Summit, NJ, the second of three daughters to Charles M. Calcagno and Marion (Borgese) Calcagno. Diane lived her early childhood years in Kenilworth before the family relocated to Berkeley Heights, NJ. After graduating from Governor Livingston high school in 1979, she continued her education studying legal administration. Diane began her professional career at Lane M Ferdinand law firm in Springfield, NJ. After relocating to southern California, she continued to work as a legal administrato, joining Snell &amp; Wilmer law firm in Irvine, CA. Diane met Douglas, and they married in October 1997, settling in Irvine. Daniel, their son, was born in September 1998. In 2006, the family relocated to McPherson, Kansas, Douglas’ hometown.

After arriving in Kansas, Diane took a position in advertising at the McPherson Sentinel, the local newspaper. After five years with the paper, through business contacts, Diane came upon what she considered to be her “dream job” working at the McPherson Opera House Company. She eventually became executive director of the opera house. Through these jobs, Diane made many lasting friendships. Diane had the support of many friends through the social activities she engaged in while in McPherson. Her dear Bunco Babes and her yearly trips with her three Cali co-workers were a big part of her life. One of her proudest moments was seeing her son Daniel graduate from Kansas State University in May 2021. She looked forward to annual trips to Ocean Beach III in N.J. to visit the Jersey shore. Diane loved the beach and collecting shells on the east coast and the west coast. Diane will be remembered as caring and compassionate. She would always listen and give support to anyone who talked with her. Diane's commitment and determination in life is a lasting inspiration and a shining light for all who knew her. Diane is survived by her husband Douglas, her son Daniel, her mother Marion Calcagno, her sisters Karen (Tom Ryan) Hodshon and Arlene (Tim) Lasecla, and many nieces and nephews. She is also survived by her mother-in-law Joan Fallis, brother-in-law David (Sindie) Fallis, and sister-in-law Beth (Tom) Robinson.

She was preceded in death by her father Charles Calcagno, and father-in-law Ken Fallis. A celebration of Diane’s life (come &amp; go) will be held from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Saturday, November 27, 2021, in the grand ballroom of the McPherson Opera House.
