To Janet and Family,

Honored to attend memorial service Saturday for our long time friend. Could not stay for the following reception, sorry.

Loren and I go back a long way about 1944? as preteens at threshing time. Second time; about 1952-53, we made contact while trying out for Cyclone Baseball team.

Third time; a few years ago when you and friends stopped by my wood shop in Amana. This was followed by your order for one of my Grant Wood "Dinner For Threshers" photo-mounts. Which by the way has gained value since I have retired and no longer create those items.

These and all memories add to the guy you had the honor of calling Husband and Dad. Go Cyclones, RC

Dear Janet,

Janet,

You are in my thoughts and prayers. May God bless and lift you up in this time of grief.

Loren was an outstanding representative of the profession. He will always have a special place in my heart. Let the knowledge of Jesus Christ be a comfort to you and know we will be reunited in heaven.

I have known Loren from our days at ISC (yes, a college!) via my first husband (Hum). Various guys shared a house in Ames, where Loren appeared for some

of the great parties. This friendship continued after he married Jan, when we would meet at other weddings and ISC football games.

You have my sympathy, but it is comforting to know Loren is now at peace. I always enjoyed the visits and sharing the enjoyment of being Hawkeye fans. I remember how much fun Loren had teasing Ann and all his help with our country dogs.

Good bye, Uncle Loren! I am so sorry for your loss, Aunt Janet and Curt and Lora. I am sorry that I am unable to travel back to attend the service. I would have loved to see you, and be with you during this time of grief and transition. Uncle Loren was so good to me. We shared our love or animals, and he took such wonderful care of our precious dog, Ginger. I so appreciated his kindness after she died. Thank you. I will miss him. He was the only uncle that I knew.
