Uncle Stub lived a long life and as his nephew growing up I remember so many fond memories involving our families at Grandma Mcginnis house.I can only imagine the catching up my mom and Aunts are having with Uncle Stub right now. He is at peace. God Bless!

Ruby, Judy, David, and family, I received my Freeman Courier today, and saw that "Stub" had passed away. These things are always difficult, and my throughts and prayers are with you.
Judy, I know it's been more years than we want to count since we attended Norway Dist. 34, but time does march on. I hope life has been good to you. It would really be nice to connect again and catch up. Take care,
June Graber
