ServicingallBrands, CompleteCollisionCenters Answers on Page B7 Condolences We lost some people important to Ephraim this past week. Dr. Dean McNeil died at the age of 93 last April 8. Daughter Diane told of the news and said he was Dean to the last, giving instructions on where to find things and not to argue among themselves.

She showed a great picture of him and Evadne back in the day. Condolences to his family he will be missed. There will be a memorial service later this year. And Bob Yttri died on April 6. Bob was singularly identifiable by his bowler hat, and as owner of the Red Putter for the past 24 years, was a friend to all.

A lot of great memories made there, and most had to do with kindness and spirit. He leaves five daughters and three grandchildren. A private memorial was held for family, and a celebration of his life will be held May 20 at the Red Putter. Memorial gifts may be made to the family to support Playground.
