I am so saddened by the news of the passing of our long time Kiwanian. S.W. and his great stories!!! No one can even come close to telling a story like he could. It was always a joy to sit next to him at our luncheon meetings and hear what great things he had to share. I was blessed to have known him and worked along side him over the past several years as a fellow Kiwanian. He was such a committed member.
So sorry for your loss.

I had the honor to bowl with Press when I first got started. He was so helpful and encouraging. He was a true gentleman. He is also listed as one of the Greater Pueblo USBC Legends of Bowling. My condolences to the family.
Dear Pam, Family nad freinds,
I am sorry to hear of Pressey’s passing however I know he has had tough time and he is now at peace.
He was a true gentleman and I always looked forward to our weekly visits at Kiwanis with him, Bill Sheard and Les Tedrow. I was always impressed with his knowledge, what ever subject came up he seemed to know something about it. I always thought he would have been a good Jeopardy contestant.
God Speed Good Friend.

I loved your dad and enjoyed the time I spent with him and your mom at church. He is up in heaven with your mom now. Much love and prayers to you.
