Robert “Bob” Eugene Williams,&nbsp;76,&nbsp;of Stockton, Kansas, passed away on February 3, 2025, at the Hays Medical Center in Hays, Kansas.&nbsp;He was born on July 17, 1948, to Karl and Quetona (Bird) Williams in Stockton, where he lived his entire life.&nbsp;

Bob married the love of his life, Nancy Atwill,&nbsp;on April 3, 1976,&nbsp;at the&nbsp;Assembly of God Church in Stockton. Their wedding was officiated by&nbsp;Nancy’s&nbsp;grandfather. Together, they raised two daughters,&nbsp;Brandy and Jessica.

Bob graduated from Stockton High School in 1966&nbsp;and&nbsp;briefly&nbsp;attended&nbsp;college&nbsp;before&nbsp;enlisting&nbsp;in the U.S. Marine Corps, where he proudly&nbsp;served&nbsp;in Vietnam. Following his military service,&nbsp;Bob&nbsp;spent time in Denver where he&nbsp;attended&nbsp;school to&nbsp;become a skilled&nbsp;meat&nbsp;cutter. He then&nbsp;pursued a lifelong career as a rural mail carrier, retiring after many years of dedicated service.&nbsp;

Alongside his professional work, Bob spent much of his life on his farm, raising cattle and hunting with his beloved bird dogs. He had a great love for nature, wildlife, and was known for his passion for training hunting dogs.&nbsp;Family gatherings were filled with laughter, and Bob could always be found either first or second in line for meals, often joining the kids' table during Christmas celebrations.

A true Kansas sports fan, Bob proudly supported the Kansas City Royals and the University of Kansas Jayhawks. He was a man of deep roots, having spent his life in the Stockton community, and his legacy of hard work, love for his family, and loyalty to his friends will always be remembered.

Bob is survived by his wife, Nancy of the home in Stockton; daughters, Brandy Williams of Denver, CO and Jessica (Steven II) Pinkerton of Kansas City, MO; brothers, Richard (Barbara) Williams of Stockton and Ronald (Jonita) Williams of Stockton; two grandchildren, Steven III and Olivia Pinkerton; and many nieces, nephews and great-nieces and&nbsp;nephews.

Howard Eugene Lamer, age 85, of Salina, KS passed away Friday, January 31, 2025, after a long battle with dementia.

Howard was born in Salina, KS on February 12, 1939, to John and Aileen “Billie” Lamer. At the young age of 7, he started working at his father’s grocery store, Lamer’s Market, located at 709 E North St. Later, the store relocated to 145 N Phillips and Howard took over ownership when his father retired. Lamer’s Market was well known for their charge accounts and grocery delivery and was something that Howard had the utmost pride and joy in, making sure none of his customers ever went hungry. Customers to this day will share fond memories and funny stories they have of Howard and the store. Howard was known for his generosity and giving his customers many different nicknames throughout the years.

While working, Howard met Judy while she was shopping at the store. He offered to cook her dinner that night and the rest is history. Howard and Judy were married on October 7, 1973. During the 1970s, Howard also served as a Deputy for the Saline County Reserve Program. He and Judy continued working together at the store along with their five children until they retired and sold the store in 2002. Lamer’s Market was eventually turned into a house on Phillips St. During retirement, Howard and Judy bought a camper and sold roasted nuts at malls across the Midwest for about 7 years. They enjoyed their travels and meeting new people during that time.

Howard will be remembered for being goofy, cheating during intense games of Spoons at family gatherings, not knowing a stranger, having a pristine yard, instilling a strong work ethic in his children, making sure his loved ones had plenty of flashlights in case of an emergency, and doing anything he could to help those in need. He touched many people’s lives and left behind a true legacy.

Howard is preceded in death by his parents, John, and Aileen “Billie” Lamer; two sisters, Norma Gerry, and Daisy “Darlene” Burke; one brother, John Lamer, who died at birth; and daughter in law, Lori Lamer.

Howard is survived and missed by his loving wife, Judy Lamer, of 51 years; his two beloved dogs, Scarlett and Joey; his children Brad Lamer (Cindy), Brenda Buckley (Francis), Brian Lamer, Renee Nelson, and Toni Taggart (Scott); his eight grandchildren, Tami Keller (Kevin), Brett Lamer (Mallory), Melanie Perez (Chad), Jenny Buckley (fiancé Alex), Kelsi Unruh (Jarek), Casey Prester (Zach), Annie Stein (Cole), and Cooper Taggart; his twelve great grandchildren, Trever and Tysen Keller, Kirstin Adams (Collin) and Trenton Keller, Brecken and Britton Lamer, Mitchell and Reid Perez, Iylah and Wrenlee Unruh, and Baker and Beau Prester; and his one great great granddaughter, Bellemy Adams.

A memorial service will be held at 1:30 p.m. Tuesday, February 11, 2025, at Ryan Mortuary, 137 N 8th St in Salina, KS, 67401.

In lieu of flowers, memorials can be made to Salina Emergency Aid/Food Bank​, The Salina Rescue Mission, or Journey Ventures to help those in need.

Jackie Leon Olson Jr

Marvin Sellberg, native Kansan, lifelong farmer, celebrated educator, and respected patriarch died peacefully at his home surrounded by loved ones on January 23, 2025, at age 99.

Born September 23, 1925, in McPherson, KS, Marvin came of age as an only child working on his family’s farm alongside his father, Edwin Sellberg. But it was his mother, Agnes (Henkle) Sellberg, a lifelong teacher honored in the Kansas Teachers’ Hall of Fame, who harnessed her son’s intellect in pursuit of education and instilled an ambition to teach.

After graduating from McPherson High School in 1943, Marvin enrolled in Central College while also enlisting in the US Navy; however, his service was short-lived due to a near fatal accident with a combine. After recovery, Marvin joined Central’s newly formed basketball team as a guard and soon kindled a romance with fellow student Marie (Scittine). Following his 1946 graduation, Marvin and Marie married and moved to Chicago where a scholarship to the University of Chicago awaited Marvin. Sellberg mixed his time with multiple odd jobs to make ends meet while earning his Master of Business Administration degree (MBA) in 1949.

Marvin and Marie yearned for a return to Kansas and settled permanently in McPherson welcoming three children: Marcia, Marlene, and Martin. Sellberg took a faculty staff position at Central College where he taught business classes, served as Admissions Officer and coached Central’s Men’s Basketball for 9 years. In the wake of 1960s desegregation, Marvin was among the first in Kansas collegiate sports to assemble a racially integrated team. He valued character and demanded hard work from his players, and, in return, took great lengths to ensure academic achievement and character development.

In 1968 Marvin joined Tabor College and for the next 22 years was a fixture in the business department. He served as assistant professor of business and economics at Tabor from 1968-78, and after a break of four years teaching at McPherson College, Sellberg returned to Tabor in 1982, serving eight years. As a Tabor professor, he was active in the Associated Colleges of Central Kansas and the Kansas Wheat Commission. He attended the first World Food Conference in Rome in 1974 and presented on such topics as the “Perspective of a Farmer on Hunger” at later conferences. Sellberg received Tabor faculty emeritus status in May 2008 and a former student endowed a Professorship of Business Administration and Entrepreneurship in Sellberg’s name.

Following Marvin’s retirement from teaching, he dedicated his efforts to farm the land his family had settled in the 1880s. And with their children chasing ambitions in business, medicine, and military, Marvin and Marie spent summers working for autumn’s harvest and escaped the winter chill, often aboard a cruise ship, seeing the world. The Sellbergs’ grandchildren anticipated days spent readying crops alongside Marvin and his trusted German Shepherd, Wolfie, and enjoying stories and laughter over supper.

Fifty-eight years of marriage to Marie ended on an unsuspecting weekday and Marvin found himself a widow. He spent time and effort coping with his loss and resolved to seek out the benefits of companionship. After a season of courtship, Marvin married his second wife, Nancy, in 2009. Marvin’s renewed vigor for his shared life with Nancy was spent enjoying time with expanded family, doting on lapdogs, and cherishing morning visits with friends over coffee.

Marvin’s warm and commanding persona will be missed, but he leaves us with a legacy of wisdom and guidance to his family, his students, his athletes, his colleagues, his friends and many more who had the privilege of knowing him.

Marvin Sellberg is survived by his wife, Nancy Sellberg; his daughters, Marcia Meyer (Andrew) and Marlene Waltz (John); his son Dr. Martin Sellberg (Jamie); five grandchildren, Jonas Sellberg, Blair Fox, Scott Wilson, Bret Waltz and Christina Campbell; and many loving great-grandchildren.

Visitation will be held on Saturday, February 8, from 5:00 to 7:00 PM at Stockham Family Funeral Home. The funeral service will be held at 10:30 AM, Monday, February 10, at the McPherson Free Methodist Church. Burial will follow at McPherson Cemetery.&nbsp;

In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations to the Marvin Sellberg memorial at Tabor College (<a target="_blank" href="http://tabor.edu/give">Tabor.edu/give</a>) or the Marvin Sellberg memorial for student scholarships at Central College, ℅ Stockham Funeral Home, 205 North Chestnut, McPherson, KS 67460.

Gregory "Chad" Burger, 54, of Kensington, Kansas, passed away on January 23, 2025. Born on July 21, 1970, in Salina to Shelley and Greg Burger, Chad attended Lucas Luray High School, graduated from Rexford High School, and later pursued studies at Colby County Community College. Chad’s life was a celebration of family, hard work, and cherishing the things he loved most.

Chad’s family meant everything to him. He was a proud husband, dad, grandpa, brother, and friend. Nothing made him happier than spending time with his family, whether it was celebrating milestones, sharing laughs, or just being there for each other.

Chad loved to joke around and had a knack for making people smile. He was also incredibly dedicated to his work as a trucker, showing an unmatched work ethic and taking pride in doing the job right. His commitment to his work was a reflection of the values he lived by every day.

A huge fan of the Kansas City Chiefs and the University of Kansas Jayhawks, Chad was passionate about sports and loved the excitement of racing. Cheering on his favorite teams and racers brought him so much joy and camaraderie.

Chad leaves behind his beloved wife, Terri Nuzum, and his kids: Kirsten and Tyler Kaus, and their daughter Chesley Jo; Jonny Burger (Anna Owsley); Austin Herman and Brittany Hackerott, and their kids Grayson, Audrey, Abbey, and Calvin; Jordan Herman; Dyllan and Halee Nuzum, and their kids Charlee and Max; Dawndra Nuzum (David Robles); and Ciara Calhoon.
