"I was saddened to learn of Maynard\'s death. Maynard was not only a loyal customer, but a great friend. We spent many occasions talking about his livestock over the years. The kitchen table was a place we had many wonderful conversations about the events of life. It was obvious that Maynard loved his family, farming, his livestock and sports. Maynard was a good friend and mentor and lived respected and died regretted. May God bless his memory. "
In loving memory of
