Sad News Ray Linder

I am presently assigned to a parish in Huron. In the Huron paper this morning was the obituary of Dr. Raymond Linder, father of classmate Barb (Linder) Solomon. The family moved to Brookings in 1964, where he taught in the wildlife and fisheries department at SDSU until retiring in 1985. He moved to Huron in May of 2007. The funeral will be held in Huron, where Barb lives, while burial will be in Brookings at St. Thomas More Cemetery. Our condolences and prayers go out to the family. The obituary in the Sioux Falls paper is below:

  1. My sincerest condolences to Barb, and her family.

    Along side this I wanted to add a big word of thanks to John. It's sad news he has shared in September, but it's also news that most would miss were it not for John's posts. We've all lost more people than we would have thought back in 1969, and this blog makes everyone seem more real and in this life rather than a remembered life.

    There is also joy in having people with whom to share our lives. I have rediscovered a two friends in WY: Anne (Aanderude) Luthy in Cheyenne and Diane (Baird) Hudson in Newcastle. Perhaps the good news balances some of the sobering news of loved one who pass.
