Thomas George Curlo, 69, entered into eternal rest on June 11, 2021 at Mitchell County Health Systems in Beloit, Kansas with his two children by his side. He was born on June 13, 1951 in Loup City, NE to Frank and Mildred Curlo. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

He grew up on a farm in Ashton, Nebraska with his two brothers and two sisters. He graduated from Loup City High School in 1970. Following graduation, he entered the United States Army where he was stationed in Alaska.

On September 7, 1974 he married Debra Lewandowski in Loup City, Nebraska. Together they had two children, Jeremy and Jessica. In 1988 they moved to Grant, Nebraska where he continued his career as a superintendent with Scoular Grain Elevator. In 2017 they moved to Beloit, Kansas where he lived out his days. He loved being surrounded by his grandkids; they were truly his pride and joy. They adored their papa Tom and together created many memories that will last a lifetime.

Tom had a passion for being outdoors, woodworking, and taking care of his garden. He also enjoyed yard work and landscaping. He was strong-willed and never liked to quit anything he started. He was a jack of all trades when it came to fixing things and his favorite tool was duct tape.

Tom was known for his selflessness, generous and giving spirit. He had a keen sense of humor with a heart of gold. He never knew a stranger and was a blessing to all those who knew and loved him.

His strong work ethic and faith showed that anything can be done. He was always willing to lend a helping hand and share his knowledge. Tom was a passionate caregiver and always put the needs of others before his own.

&nbsp;Tom and Deb enjoyed their time together and it was hard to mention one without the other. They connected easily with the people they met and the communities they lived in. Together they created many happy memories for themselves and those around them. Today they are with each other once again resting in eternal happiness.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Frank and Mildred Curlo and his beloved wife, Deb.

Survivors include brothers Jim (Jeanie) Curlo of Ashton, Nebraska; Donnie Curlo of Boelus, Nebraska; sisters Sharon (Dan) Astrones of Grand Island, Nebraska, Renee Gloe of Wood River, Nebraska; son Jeremy (Kristen) Curlo of Garden City; daughter Jessica (Garry) Lowry of Beloit. He leaves behind three adoring grandchildren - Jamie Curlo of Hays and Beckham and Bergan Lowry of Beloit.

<a href="https://www.ryanmortuary.com/obituary/WilliamBill-Gross">Obituary for William "Bill" Gross | Ryan Mortuary</a>

January 21, 1947 ~ June 10, 2021 (age 74)

William "Bill" Gross&nbsp;of Salina, KS, passed away on June 10, 2021 at 74 years old after his brave and courageous 17-month battle with relentless pancreatic cancer. In his characteristic "buckle down and do the hard work" spirit, Bill fought for life to the end with his family by his side, showing grace, tenacity, toughness, and good spirit. He will be forever missed as a devoted husband, dad, Pops, pilot and teacher, a wonderful son, brother, uncle, and friend.

Bill began his inspiring life journey on January 21, 1947. His unmatched work ethic was learned on the family farm. He graduated from Garden City High School in 1965, and married the love of his life on June 17, 1967. Bill and Elaine grew up 1/2 mile down the dirt road from each other in Friend, KS. Elaine first fell in love with his horse, Buck, but quickly was smitten by the tall, dark and handsome cowboy! 

Bill and Elaine moved to Manhattan, KS where Bill attended Kansas State University and earned his bachelor’s degree in agriculture in 1970, agriculture education in 1971 and his master’s in agriculture education in 1973. Bill spent two years at KSU in ROTC and then attended U.S. Army Basic Training at Fort Ord, CA with a total of six years serving in the United States military.

While a KSU student, Bill began his illustrious flight career as a student pilot in 1968, earning his certified flight instructor rating in 1970 and working as a CFI for Capital Air. Bill taught agriculture education at Riley County High School 1972-1973. From 1973-1986 he worked for Farmland Industries in animal feed and vet supply sales, getting acquainted with many small towns in the state of Kansas. Bill and Elaine welcomed their children Mikala in 1975 and Guy in 1976. 

In 1979, Bill became a designated flight examiner and spent many nights and weekends facilitating countless check-rides for years to come. He was an insurance sales rep for Farm Bureau 1986-1988. Bill became the chief flight instructor at Kansas Technical Institute in 1987. In 1991, KTI merged with Kansas State University College of Technology and Aviation where Bill remained chief pilot and professor for over 30 years, leading and impacting the lives of thousands of flight students. In 2021 the KSU flight program was renamed to The Bill Gross Professional Pilot Program.

While tirelessly working throughout the years to perfect his knowledge of aircraft, Bill earned a staggering number of ratings in airplanes, jets and helicopters. He had over 31,000 flight hours and earned the elite honor of being a designated master flight instructor nine times, as well as receiving the Wright Brothers Master Pilot Award, which is earned by less than one percent of pilots. For Bill, all of that was just part of the job, and without question. The best part of the profession for him was guiding, teaching, mentoring and sometimes being a stand-in parent for his students. At age 74, Bill barely considered retiring because he still had a job to do - his calling and passion was to serve student pilots, and as he always said, he had the best view out his office window!

Bill’s most important place in life was that of a husband, father, and grandfather. Family was everything to Bill, and he lived that through the end. His greatest joy was being an amazing Pops to his five grandchildren, especially watching them play sports and taking them for rides on the John Deere tractor. Just as much, he loved sitting on the porch with his wife, having dinner with friends, and enjoying the simple things in life.

Bill was a diehard KSU Wildcat fan, holding season tickets for many years, frequently sharing his tickets and sweet tailgate parking spot with students and friends. In his rare downtime, he also enjoyed watching the Kansas City Royals and Chiefs, always supporting the home team.

Beloved for his friendliness, steadfast devotion to family and students, vast aviation knowledge, and love of KSU Wildcats, Bill’s humble spirit and legacy live on through his life-long love and wife of 54 years, Elaine, his children Mikala (Greg January), and Guy (Kate Gross); grandchildren Austyne and Jett January, and Gunnar, Grayton and Kallia Gross; brothers Doug (Kay Gross), and Gene (Connie Gross); and extended family, many friends and students forever impacted by Bill’s goodness and wisdom. Bill’s parents, Ralph and Frances, and sister Susan and infant brother Warren, preceded him in death.

A special thank you to the countless family, friends, nurses, and doctors, for your love and support during this difficult journey.

A Celebration of Life will be held on Thursday, June 17 at 10:30 a.m. at The Ark Church, 2020 South Ohio, Salina KS 67401. To all who attend this once in a lifetime event honoring this small-town legend, as well as celebrating Bill and Elaine’s 54th wedding anniversary, admission is free!

In lieu of flowers, please pray that the Wildcats have a winning season, or support what Bill loved dearly by sending a memorial contribution, which will be used for the Bill and Elaine Gross Scholarship fund to continue his legacy of supporting the excellent training of future pilots, or to fund our family's mission at The Yard providing financial need-based scholarships for young baseball and softball players. Bill would appreciate either or both.

<a href="https://www.chaputbuoy.com/obituary/mike-feight">Obituary | Mike G. Feight of Clyde, Kansas | Chaput-Buoy Funeral Home (chaputbuoy.com)</a>

Michael Gene Feight entered into rest Thursday, June 10, 2021 at the Cloud County Health Center in Concordia, Kansas. He was born in Concordia, Kansas on October 18, 1956 to Gene F. and Teresa (Nobert) Feight, and lived his entire life in the Clyde area.

Mike attended Agenda Grade School, and graduated from Clyde High School in 1974, after which he attended McPherson College to play football.

He married Johnita Tate in St. Joe, Kansas; they later divorced. To this marriage two children were born: Bryan and Robert.

Mike started competitive lifting in 1975, winning championships throughout his career. He was a state champion for multiple years in a row, holding state records, and traveled across the country for various competitions, even starting his own lifting club. Mike was also a weight trainer for the Kansas State University football team, as well as for the Kansas City Chiefs.

He was farmer/stockman his entire life, raising mainly Herefords and Black Angus, as well as (at various times) sheep, buffalo, and (most memorably) an African lion named Baby. Mike was a kind-hearted man who never knew a stranger, would always help in any way he could, and always had a story to tell.

Mike’s pride and joy were his children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. Nothing gave him greater joy than spending time with them, whether it was playing games, teaching them how to shoot a gun and hunt, farming, or just shooting the breeze. He loved attending all of their various activities, and didn’t hardly miss a one.

Mike was preceded in death by his parents, brother Joseph Feight, and grandson Robert Mitchell Joseph Feight.

He is survived by sons Bryan (Jennifer) Feight and Robert (Joelle) Feight, all of Clyde; grandsons Joseph Feight, Zachary Sorell, Lane Feight, Locklund Feight, and Roy Feight, granddaughters Breanna Feight, Autumn Sorell, Elsie Feight, Ellyn Feight, Ruth Feight, and Stella Feight; great-grandchildren Brooklyn and Canaan Barnes; brother Steve (Keri) Feight of Clyde; and a host of family and friends.

Graveside services will be 10:30 a.m. on Monday, June 14, 2021 at Mount Calvary Cemetery, Clyde with Fr. Don Zimmerman officiating.&nbsp; Visitation will be Sunday, June 13, 2021 from 1-8 p.m. with family greeting friends from 6-8 p.m. and a rosary service at 7 p.m. all at Chaput Mortuary, Clyde.&nbsp; 

The family suggests memorials to Clifton-Clyde Iron Eagles or the Clifton-Clyde Trap Team in care of the funeral home.&nbsp;

Lisa M. Homman, daughter of Betty and Eldon Hildebrandt, was born September 1, 1970 in Independence, Missouri. She passed away at her home in Abilene on June 8, 2021. Never before has a more caring and loving wife, daughter and mother ever been. Lisa spent her childhood as a “mountain girl” in Colorado and Montana before moving to Kansas with her mother in 1989 where she met her husband on a blind date arranged by mutual friends who thought they would make a “good pair.” As has recently been revealed by casual observers, Lance was obviously “smitten” with her from the moment they first met. She attended Moffat County schools in Craig, Colorado before moving to Laurel, Montana with her parents where she graduated from Laurel High School in 1989. She later attended Kansas Wesleyan University in Salina, Kansas. Lisa worked at and later managed the Short Stop in Abilene, West’s Country Mart and then, as a pharmacy technician, at Patterson’s Healthcare Pharmacy in Abilene. She spent the latter years of her life as a homemaker who loved her husband, two children, mother and dogs deeply. Lisa was preceded in her death by her parents-in-law Garold and Anne Homman, who treated her like their own daughter. She is survived by her husband Lance, two children, Dalian and Tabor, and her dogs, Harley and Taz, all of the home, her mother Betty Hildebrandt of Salina, her brother Todd Hildebrandt (Kathy) of Salina, and many nephews and nieces. A private memorial service with close friends and family will be held at a time and date to be announced. The family has chosen cremation. Memorials may be offered in Lisa’s name to the charity or organization of the donor’s choice.

Condolences can be left with the funeral home, Martin Becker Carlson Funeral Home, 414 NW 3rd St., Abilene, Kansas 67410&nbsp;&nbsp;

Homman, daughter of Betty and Eldon Hildebrandt, was born September 1, 1970 in Independence, Missouri. She passed away at her home in Abilene on June 8, 2021. Never before has a more caring and loving wife, daughter and mother ever been. Lisa spent her childhood as a “mountain girl” in Colorado and Montana before moving to Kansas with her mother in 1989 where she met her husband on a blind date arranged by mutual friends who thought they would make a “good pair.” As has recently been revealed by casual observers, Lance was obviously “smitten” with her from the moment they first met. She attended Moffat County schools in Craig, Colorado before moving to Laurel, Montana with her parents where she graduated from Laurel High School in 1989. She later attended Kansas Wesleyan University in Salina, Kansas. Lisa worked at and later managed the Short Stop in Abilene, West’s Country Mart and then, as a pharmacy technician, at Patterson’s Healthcare Pharmacy in Abilene. She spent the latter years of her life as a homemaker who loved her husband, two children, mother and dogs deeply. Lisa was preceded in her death by her parents-in-law Garold and Anne Homman, who treated her like their own daughter. She is survived by her husband Lance, two children, Dalian and Tabor, and her dogs, Harley and Taz, all of the home, her mother Betty Hildebrandt of Salina, her brother Todd Hildebrandt (Kathy) of Salina, and many nephews and nieces. A private memorial service with close friends and family will be held at a time and date to be announced. The family has chosen cremation. Memorials may be offered in Lisa’s name to the charity or organization of the donor’s choice.Condolences can be left with the funeral home, Martin Becker Carlson Funeral Home, 414 NW 3rd St., Abilene, Kansas 67410&nbsp;&nbsp;
