    I graduated from Sabetha High School with Lisa and we had lockers right next to each other. I was born the day after her the same year(5-23-57). She was a special person and I am sorry to hear of her passing. Many prayers to the families, King & Pyle.

    I served with Wiley for many years in the KU school of business. Wiley was one of those few people who kept the school moving well by stepping to doing whatever needed to be done for the betterment of the school and our students. He was a tireless worker and a compassionate man who showed his caring through his actions. I am sorry to hear of his passing.

    Kathy,

    Over the years I felt like I knew your father but after reading this it was an eye opener of how amazing a person he was. I am so sorry to learn of his passing but know with all of his life accomplishments and family, he will never be truly gone. It is amazing how much you look like him.

    Keeping you in our thoughts and prayers

    Nancy and Kathy, your Dad was my first boss in the School of Business at KU. I enjoyed working with him for many years. Both your folks were a joy, wonderful entertainers making their home a welcoming environment. I have many fond memories of times there. I hope knowing that others have warm memories of your folks will ease your loss.
