Sheridan lost two good men yesterday. My mother called last nite and said that the last of my Dads brothers passed away peacefully at home in his own bed at around 7pm. Also that a good friend of the family had passed earlier in the afternoon. He was our milk hauler for a lot of years.Lived here locally so we were one of his first stops. When the boys were little,they liked to go with him on the route then he'd drop them off on the way home. He hauled for 50 years. After he retired,he drove gravel truck for my brother part time. As for my uncle,he was one of the last of that generation. There is one sister and 3 or 4 cousins left. At one of my aunts funeral a few years ago,one of my older cousins said that when Great grandma died when she was a kid,it was OK because she still had Grandma and her dad. When Grandma died 30 years ago,she still had her dad. She said but now with that generation passing fast,"you know,we're next". Makes you think.

It does make you think.My condolences for your loss.I've been attending a lot of funerals lately for men and women that made so much of their lives,and were able to give my generation such an easy road to travel compared to the one they faced.

Sorry to hear of the passing of these two men, I am sure they will be missed. Just think of all the things they went through. There is only one of the original farmers in my area still alive. All the other old timers are gone. My generation is around early 60's. As I think about it, myself being 65, am the oldest of that generation. Stan

My condolences to you and your family. Most of the older generation that I grew up around are gone now also. Hate to see them go. They endured the hardships of the Depression and WWII. Good honest hardworking people for the most part.

Thoughts and prayers sent.

Yes we are the older generation now. I can look around and there are only a few of the older ones left in our community, we have stepped up and took their place, willing or not.
