<a href="https://www.ryanmortuary.com/obituary/Dale-Reed">Obituary for Dale Wayne Reed | Ryan Mortuary</a>

Dale Wayne Reed, 73, of Salina, Kansas died peacefully at home on January 12, 2021. He was born on February 5, 1947 in rural Jewell County, Kan., to Floyd "Jack" and Roberta (Morrow) Reed.

A memorial service will be held at 10:00 a.m. on September 25, 2021, at Sunrise Presbyterian Church, 823 E. Beloit St, Salina. Lunch will follow. Graveside services will be at 3:00 p.m. at Balch Cemetery, Formoso, Kan. 

Due to Covid, the family requests that masks be worn at the service.

Dale carried on his dad's work ethic and his mom's love of knowledge into adulthood, and was proud to earn a bachelor's degree in eectrical engineering from Kansas State University. 

He met his wife, Jean Ann (Lancaster) when they were both attending college there. He joined the U.S. Navy in 1968, and he and Jean were married on January 10, 1970 in Topeka, Kan. He was stationed in four stateside locations as well as Morocco where he and Jean spent their first few years of marriage together.

After he was discharged, he worked as an electronics technician for a firm in Olathe, Kan., and then at the Evapotranspiration Laboratory (ET) at Kansas State University in Manhattan, Kan. He and Jean had two children, Kristen and Keri while there. He completed his career as the electrical engineer for El Dorado National Bus Company, in Salina. 

Just prior to retiring, he was diagnosed with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). While it was a big part of his life for the last 20 years, his essence remained. 

Dale was a proud husband, father, brother, veteran, and American. He will be remembered for his sense of humor, his helpfulness, his work ethic, his stubbornness, his friendliness, his sense of right and wrong, his love of donuts and coffee, his orderliness and routines, his signature phrases - "He's off to the races!", and his handsome features and big smile.

He was preceded in death by his parents, and his sisters Phyla Zolo and Johnita Pearl Malone.

He is survived by his wife Jean Ann Reed, Salina; his children Kristen Zimmerman, Mulvane, Kan., and Keri Skinner (Teru), Edmonton, Alberta, Canada; his brothers Delno Reed and Doyle Reed, both of Concordia, Kan.; sister Juanice Reed, Chandler, Okla.; two grandchildren; and two grand-dogs.

In his memory, his family asks that you spend time with your family -- share a joke, enjoy a day of hunting or watching football, reminiscing about old times, or sharing a donut. He will be missed dearly.

In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to Sunrise Presbyterian Church of Salina, the Pike Valley Foundation, or Hospice of Salina, in care of Ryan Mortuary, 137 N. 8th St, Salina, Kan., 67401.

<a href="https://www.wilsonfamilyfuneralhome.com/obituary/meryl-e-grosshans">Obituary | Meryl E. Grosshans of Minneapolis, Kansas | Wilson Family Funeral Home</a>

Meryl Elmer Grosshans, 82, of Minneapolis passed away peacefully Tuesday, August 31, 2021.

Meryl was born May 21, 1939, to Elmer and Clara Grosshans in the family farmhouse near Ruskin, Neb.&nbsp; As a toddler, Meryl’s family moved to Scott City, Kan., where he spent his formative years.&nbsp; He graduated from Scott City High School in 1957 and received a bachelor’s degree in history from Fort Hays State University in 1962.&nbsp;

While at FHSU, he met and fell in love with Patricia Ann “Pat” Scheck, and the two were united in marriage on August 25, 1962. He spent 43 years teaching middle school and high school students in Bunker Hill (1963-65), Garden City (1967-68) and for USD 239 (1965-67, 1968-2008).&nbsp; Meryl taught students, then their children, and then the grandchildren of his first students.

It was during his first teaching job in Bunker Hill that he was asked to teach French because of his three semesters of French in college.&nbsp; He told his class of five girls that he would be learning right along with them and ended up discovering a love of foreign language.&nbsp;

Meryl completed two French immersion programs through the government-based National Defense Education Act (NDEA), first studying at Oakland University in Pontiac, Michigan, in 1968 and in France, in 1969.&nbsp; He earned a Master’s Degree in French from Emporia State University in 1970.

His school days were filled teaching United States history and government, current events, English, French and Spanish.&nbsp; He also served as high school principal for five years before returning to the classroom in order to spend more hands-on time with students.&nbsp; After his “retirement” in 1995, he spent the next 13 years teaching high school French and Spanish on a part-time basis.&nbsp; He also volunteered to teach foreign language to area pre-school children and adults.&nbsp; Monsieur Grosshans, or Señor Grosshans to some, took great pleasure in seeing students light up when an idea “clicked.”&nbsp; He was selected as one of Teen Ink’s Teachers of the Year for 2001-2002 and was inducted into the Kansas Teachers Hall of Fame in 2002.

He was passionate about learning at every opportunity.&nbsp; A favorite family story is when one of his young granddaughters realized she was actually learning when she thought she was simply playing with Grandpa.&nbsp; She threw up her hands and said, “Everything with Grandpa is learn, learn, learn!”&nbsp; He always chuckled when that story was retold.&nbsp;

Meryl enjoyed anything to do with sports, whether it be as a spectator, player or coach.&nbsp; He was a member of an undefeated Scott City High School football team and played semi-pro baseball as a young adult. He also spent many years playing recreational basketball and fast-pitch softball.&nbsp; There were also countless hours of backyard baseball and football games with his children that neighbors would enjoy as they drove by the house. His kids would tease him during road trips when everyone in the car would be forced to listen to whatever sporting event he could find on the radio, whether it was coming in clearly or not! He spent many years as the Director of the Ottawa County Recreation Commission, as well as the Athletic Director for Minneapolis High School.&nbsp; In addition, he devoted countless hours to coaching baseball in the summer.&nbsp; He also volunteered as an assistant baseball coach as MHS launched its baseball program.

Meryl loved history, a good book, playing cards, crossword puzzles and dancing.&nbsp; After the kids were out of the house, he and Pat spent many years country dancing and would arrange their schedule so as not to miss Friday night outings at the dance club.&nbsp; They also participated in a group that would entertain at rest homes and various events in the area.&nbsp; He loved adding a little extra pizzazz to his moves on the dance floor when his family and friends were there to watch!

More than anything, Meryl enjoyed being a father.&nbsp; His two children - Alan and Lora - were blessed to have such a supportive and loving dad.&nbsp; He was always at their concerts, in the stands, asking about their day and picking them up when they needed a lift.&nbsp; His grandchildren always received the same affection.

He was a faithful member of the Immaculate Conception Catholic Church for more than 55 years, where he served as a lector, usher and then altar server when he was able to attend daily Mass during retirement. &nbsp;&nbsp;

Meryl was preceded in death by his parents and three siblings who died in childhood.&nbsp;

He is survived by Pat, his wife of 59 years; two children; Alan (Tracy) of Aurora, CO, and Lora (Alan) Woolever of Kansas City, MO; four adoring grandchildren, Delanee, Camryn and Kendall Grosshans and Andrew Woolever; sister Iona “Onie” Grosshans of Salt Lake City, UT, and brother James (Karen) Grosshans of Sidney, NE.

Visitation will be Friday, September 3 from 2:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. at Wilson Family Funeral Home, where the family will receive friends from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m.&nbsp; Mass of Christian Burial will be at 11:00 a.m. Saturday, September 4 at Immaculate Conception Catholic Church and burial will follow in Highland Cemetery.&nbsp; 

The family is requesting masks to be worn at all events.&nbsp; 

In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to the Minneapolis Public Library, Immaculate Conception Catholic Church or the Minneapolis Community Foundation.&nbsp; The memorials may be mailed to the Wilson Funeral Home, P.O. Box 166, Minneapolis, KS 67467.

Hillsboro - Kenneth Bruce Carlson, 68, passed away in Hillsboro August 28, 2021. He was born May 11, 1953 to Dale and Delores (Miltz) Carlson in Herington, Kansas.

Life Sketch Taken from the Funeral Bulletin Kenneth Bruce Carlson 68, born May 11, 1953 in Herington, Kansas. He was the second child of Dale and Delores (Miltz) Carlson. Shortly after he was born, he was baptized at St. John Lutheran Church in Lincolnville Kansas, where he was also confirmed in 1967.

He grew up in Lost Springs, Kansas where he attended Lost Springs Grade School followed by fouryears at Centre High School, where he graduated in 1971. 

As a young boy, he played on Pee-Wee and Cookies Little Leagues teams. His friends still recall a massive home run he hit left-handed; they were all so impressed on how far he could hit the ball with his less dominant arm. These same friends would also participate in pick-up football games at the church yard where he received a childhood nickname Lance, that has stuck with him for over 50 years.

Kenny also held a paper route with his Grandpa Miltz and was known for doing other odd and end jobs around town that included painting houses and oil wells, mowing, helping local farmers, and going on the road custom cutting for the Wertz Family.

Growing up, the family spent a lot of weekends at Diamond Creek camping and fishing, where they would play pitch and name that tune for hours. The family spent a lot of time together with many vacations on the road. Places they visited include Mt. Rushmore, Colorado, Arkansas, Branson, Missouri, and many summers in Russell, Kansas visiting their uncle Harold. The family enjoyed participating in activities together, such as swimming, playing ball, games, going to the Royals games, and spending time together.

Ken enjoyed having nice cars. Some of these cars included a 1965 Chevy Impala, 1973 Chevy Camaro, and 1977 Z-28 Camaro. He enjoyed many evenings dragging Main Street. On one of these night cruises, he met Marilyn Sue Heiser and later married her in 1978. 

After getting married, the couple moved to Hillsboro where he resided for the next 43 years.

Ken was known for being a hard worker. In 1974, he started at AMPI, where he was a cheese processor for 25 years. After his career at AMPI, he started on a new journey with the City of Hillsboro and served this community for almost 20 years. After retirement, he continued to give back to the community of Hillsboro with contractual mowing.

He had a sharp memory and a slogan, “Do you remember…”. One thing we can all agree upon, Ken never knew or met a stranger. He was a loving and kind man that would talk your ear off, if you let him.

He is survived by his sons Jon (Colleen) Carlson, of Kansas City Mo; Gregory Carlson, of Herington Kansas; and daughter Bobbi Jo Carlson, of Plano, Texas; three brothers, Robert (Brenda) Carlson, Kevin (Roxanna) Carlson, and Mike Carlson; and former wife Marilyn Carlson. 

Preceding him in death were his parents Dale and Delores Carlson, brother Roland C. Carlson, and son Erik B. Carlson.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Survivors include: sons Jon (Colleen) Carlson of Kansas City Missouri, Greg Carlson of Herington; daughter Bobbi Jo Carlson of Plano, Texas; brothers Robert (Brenda) Carlson of McPherson, Kevin (Roxanna) Carlson of McPherson, Mike Carlson of Hillsboro; former wife Marilyn Sue Carlson. 

Celebration of Life service 10:30 a.m. Thursday, September 2, 2021 at Zion Lutheran Church in Hillsboro officiated by Pastor John Werner. Committal service at Lincolnville Cemetery. Family will receive friends from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. Wednesday at Jost Funeral Home in Hillsboro.

He was preceded in death by his sister, Christi Jordan, and father, Richard E. Blackwell.&nbsp;

He is survived by his children, Abby Lamone (Michael), Beau Blackwell (Isabel) and Sophie Lamb (Jeff); grandchildren, Zuzu, Ford, and Whit; his mother, Donita Blackwell; brother, Steven Blackwell (Julie); and sisters, Julie Woerpel (Troy), and Pam Burgoon (Darrell).&nbsp;
