Kay, you and the family have our deepest sympathy. I just heard of Reynold's passing.
Although I haven't spent much time with him recently my memories of him are very vivid.
I considered him a friend and appreciated very much the limited time we spent together.

Sister Kay and family...Nancy and I send.you our deepest sympathies at your loss. .It hurts to lose a great friend of the family. Our greatest joy comes with thoughts of his resurrection. Rennie was such a great man of God given knowledge in so many areas. His sporting activities, his farming abilities and his crop spraying skills were just a few of his contributions to his family. His service in the Armed Forces were greatly appreciated. His many trophies in his shop showing his taxidermy skills amazed me.
I was so thrilled when he flew me on a photographic mission once.
He will be sorely missed by ALL his family

We read the DeWitt Observer obituary for Reynold this morning and send sincere sympathy to your families as you gather. We hope fond memories will bring you comfort.
I remember first meeting and ice skating with Reynold and Norma in the 1950's-seems so long ago now as the years have gone by. We are thinking of you.

With Sympathy,
Dale & Jean (Roskelley) Langbehn

in honor of Reynold .

Our sincere condolences to you all, Aunt Kay, Scott and Betty and family, Carla and Wayne and family. I have such vivid and sweet memories of Uncle Rennie and Aunt Kay and the holiday gatherings at their big farm with all of the cousins and aunts and uncles and family friends. Memories of cousins playing "German" after our meal, after we changed into our "play clothes". Uncle Rennie showing us the baby pigs and his impressive fleet of airplanes in the hangar, giving rides in the airplanes. Every time I see an aerial sprayer I think of him. Uncle Rennie had such a warm smile and an even warmer heart. I know you will greatly miss him and may the Lord comfort you and give you peace during this time of loss.

Love, Melanie and David, Amelia, Elizabeth and Jessica McMurrin

Harksen family,
My condolences to you in your loss. I only talked to Mr. Harksen a couple times at IAAA meetings but found out pretty quick how much dedication he had to aerial application. He will be missed.
Sincerely,
Brian Berst
