Lawrence "Lawdy" Herman, age 87 of Ellis, Kansas passed away Tuesday, November 7, 2023 at HaysMed.&nbsp;

Lawdy was born on August 9, 1936, on the family farmstead in Trego County, Kansas to Nick and Anna (Lang) Herman.

Lawdy was a lifelong resident of the area and graduated from Ellis High School in 01956. 

On June 20, 1959 he married JoAnn Gabel, but later divorced.

Lawdy was a legend all his own, always living life to the fullest. He was always happy and wanted others to be “happy, happy, happy.” 

He dedicated many years of his life to working in the oilfield, a job that he took great pride in.&nbsp;

He was a lover of polka, pinochle, golfing, and hunting. However, his greatest joy came from being with his beloved friends and family. He liked his beer, he never wanted anyone to be thirsty. He never let a kid come into his house without offering a pop or popsicle. 

He was a devoted Catholic and faithful member of St. Mary’s Catholic Church.&nbsp;Lawdy was a member of the Ellis Knights of Columbus 3rd and 4th degree. 

He loved his cars, especially his ‘57 Chevy and his Roadrunner. On a nice sunny day, you could find him in “Lawdys Fun Haven” throwing shoes and by dark, playing cards. He was always surrounded by friends and family, and Jack “the bodyguard” never left his side.

He cherished his role as a father to his daughter Peggy Deutscher and his two sons, Randy Herman and Sam Herman. The importance of family was immeasurable.

Surviving him are his children, Peggy (Herman) Deutscher, Randy Herman and wife Debbie, and Sam Herman; two brothers Ervin (Sunny) Herman of Ellis and LeRoy Herman of Denver. Additionally, he leaves behind grandchildren Jared Deutscher, Bailey (Matt) Dinkel, Kiley Herman, and Jose Herman as well as great-grandchildren Hattee Deutscher, Sutton Dinkel, and Jentry Dinkel.

Jack Gebhart September 25, 1936 ~ November 3, 2023

Jack Gebhart, 87, died on 11/3/23 at Salina Regional Health Center after a short bout with heart disease. Born in Hollywood, California, Jack’s family relocated to Salina, Kansas, where Jack graduated from Salina High in 1954 and earned a degree in Agriculture and Applied Sciences&nbsp;from Kansas State University.&nbsp;

Jack held a variety of jobs throughout his long working career. He began young, running the family farm while he attended high school and college. He spent time working for the City of Salina Development Services Department before becoming the assistant superintendent of the Salina Parks Department. Jack eventually found another career that he enjoyed as a commercial driver, picking up and delivering turbochargers all across the country. He had many great stories to tell about the various plants and ships that he got to visit during his many trips.&nbsp; He was even able to drop in and surprise his daughter in California from time to time during his driving days.&nbsp; For much of his earlier adult life, Jack also worked as a reserve deputy after serving time as an active member of the Saline County Deputy Sheriff’s office.&nbsp;

Throughout his life, Jack was an avid hunter, fisherman and camper and he passed his love of these things down to his children.&nbsp;

From a young age, Jack had a knack for working with just about any material. From leather to forging metal, he was able to produce or repair just about anything. This skill lent itself well to his passion for working on cars and trucks. &nbsp;

Jack possessed many different vehicles throughout his life, including some memorable ones like the “Trick Truck” that he and his lifelong friend Mick spent years drag racing and his beloved Studebaker, which he sold as a young man, only to reunite with it years later and restore. Jack was also an excellent shot with about any type of firearm, winning many awards during his competitive phase. He passed the love of guns and shooting to his children and grandchildren, using a patience that few have to teach safety and proper technique. Jack was also a gifted artist, and the family will cherish some of the artwork that he completed in different mediums.&nbsp;

Jack had a true love for his family and friends. He still attended regular lunches with high school friends and breakfast nearly every morning, where they could discuss life events and reminisce about past exploits. For years, Jack and his wife Martha could be found somewhere in the pack of Thursday night cruisers, sometimes including one or more of the grandchildren in the rides.&nbsp;

He was a true supporter of his children and grandchildren, braving heat, and bad weather to cheer them on during sporting events or sitting through some truly awful grade school music concerts with a smile on his face, he was always there when he could be.&nbsp;

Jack is survived by his wife, Martha Gebhart, of Salina; his daughter, Kimberly Gebhart and husband John, of California; and five sons, Scott Gebhart and wife Billie, of Ohio; John Householter and wife Christy, of Texas; Ron Householter and wife Jody, of Smolan; Eric Householter and wife Kim, of Salina; and Aaron Householter, of Salina; and many grandchildren and great-grandchildren that loved their Grandpa Jack.&nbsp;

&nbsp;A celebration of life service will be held on Saturday, November 11, 2023, at 10:30 a.m. at Ryan Mortuary.

After graduation, John farmed, helped other farmers and veterinarian Dr. Stanley, who needed an extra hand, put up grain bins, and worked at the natural gas pumping station.

&nbsp;John was drafted into the United States Army on February 20, 1959, and did his basic training at Fort Leonard Wood, MO. He was assigned to Company A, 3rd Battalion, 3rd Training Regiment. After Fort Leonard Wood, John was off to Fort Knox, KY, for parachute school and completed 20 jumps.&nbsp; He was assigned to Company E, 1st&nbsp;Airborne Battle Group, 502nd&nbsp;Infantry. He also served at Fort Ord, CA and Fort Campbell, KY.&nbsp; 

He was discharged in 1959 just as General Westmorland activated his unit to deploy to Vietnam. After being honorably discharged from the service, John returned home to help on the farm, raising wheat, corn, milo, cattle, and hogs. In his later years, he turned his attention to raising guinea fowl to combat the bugs. John always said he was born a hired hand and he would die a hired hand. He still helped his son Neil on the farm until a week before his 88th&nbsp;birthday.

&nbsp;John was united in marriage to Anna Pauline Montgomery on September 18, 1971, at the Church of the Magdalen in Wichita.&nbsp; He was a member of St. Phillip Church in Hope.&nbsp; John served on the parish council and the board of directors of Farmer’s CO-OP (now Agri Trails CO-OP).&nbsp;&nbsp; John and Pauline traveled to Hawaii for Farmland’s 50th&nbsp;anniversary convention, and it was the honeymoon they never had.&nbsp; John was the Hope Township Treasurer from 2005 to 2017.

&nbsp;Most important of all, John was a hardworking, faithful family man who is survived by his wife Pauline of Hope, son Neil (Kylee) Polok of Hope, daughter Regina Polok of Fairway, KS, grandchildren Sophie, Ava, and Macy of Hope, sister-in-law Vivian Montgomery of Wichita and a host of nieces, nephews, and cousins.&nbsp; John passed away at his home on Saturday, November 4, 2023.&nbsp; He is preceded in death by his parents, siblings Clarence Polok (Shirley and Maxine), Theresa Klenda (Leonard), Margaret Gable (Art), and Vince Polok (Irene and Pat).

Complimentary to his career in ranching, Bill had a passion for breeding and training performance horses for various events such as cutting, roping, showing, sorting, team roping, team penning, and ranch rodeo. These activities were pursued with enthusiasm by Bill and his entire family. He also served as president of the Kansas Team Penning Association, and expanded the association through the state of Kansas.

Bill is survived by his wife, Dianna of the home; his daughter, Kim (Clint) Suhr, of Assaria, KS; his son, TK (Ashley) Dawdy, of Valley View, TX; his grandchildren, Cody (April) Suhr, Kyler (Kaylee) Suhr and Kara Suhr, Katelyn and Kassidy Dawdy; and his great-grandchildren, Ava, Calan, and Kacey Suhr.
