Memories Timeline

Guestbook

  1. My dad, Bud Estes owned a Gamble Store in Wall, SD; my grandparents Carl and Anna Hansen lived near Newell, and I attended USD with Tom and Celine. Clarence Milberg and his family were good friends to all of us. Special thoughts and sympathy go to you now with this loss.

  2. God has welcomed a special person into his Kingdom. My payers and thoughts are with the Milberg family. Sincerely, Elaine Ahonen Ainsworth

  3. Barbara, Celene and Lisa:
    My thoughts and prayers are with you in the passing of your Father.

    I have fond memories of the back room of the Gamble Store where I would go with my dad to check if there were any junk batteries or metals which Clarence and Elmer would sell to Dad. Your dad was always so good to me, was just a pleasure to be around.

    I had a nice visit with him at an all-school reunion a while back. He told me then that you, Barbara, were named after my Aunt Barbara Wiest. And Lisa, I can tell you that my daughter was named after you.

    I shall always treasure what I had with your family during my growing up in Newell.

    With love,
    Jerry Malcolm

  4. We are sorry to hear that Clarence passed away. He was a true neighbor and good friend.

    From our window we could see his window at Westwind, and knew he was always a loyal Bronco fan.

    He will be missed.
