Storm always called me snow ball. I was born during a blizzard and he drove the snow plow in front of my parents to the hospital. Once my mother was secure in the hospital my father had to get the doctor who was also snowed in. We attended church with the family in my youth and it was great to see him over the years when I visited with my mother. He always remembered the snow ball story. My sympathy and prayers to the family. Danita Hoffman Wilford Posted by Danita Wilford - Lincoln, NE - friend March 28, 2014
I am saddened to learn of Richard's passing, and I wish to express my deepest sympathies to Richard's family on their loss. My mother was Margaret Ann Harrington -- the daughter of Nicholas & Della Harrington, and I believe that my grandfather, Nicholas Leo Harrington, and Richard's father (Paul) were brothers -- this would have made Richard my mother's uncle, and my great-uncle. It has been many, many years since those summer days in the 1960's when as a little boy I used to stay at Grandpa & Grandma Harrington's house in Unionville, and would run around town playing with all the kids, and visiting the adults. It almost seems like a dream, or a different life, because it was so long ago. I remember Richard, and even remember that they lived on the corner of main street and the Blakesburg Road in a big ole 2-story house. I don't remember everyone's names, but I do remember one of Richard's daughters was a barrel racer (horses) and had a set-up for that behind their house. I remember Uncle John & Aunt Helen very vividly, and Aunt Myrtle too, but not as vividly. Anyway, I am sorry for your loss, and pray that the Lord comforts you now and always -- and I know that He wants to. 1 Thessalonians 413-17 13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. 14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. 15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. 16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God and the dead in Christ shall rise first 17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

Lee Wyldes was my father. We lived across the street from your Mother and Dad in Unionville. That was when the two children were Elaine and Phillip. Your parents were great people and so were the children. We knew your grand-parents very well. We moved away in 1963, but I haven't forgotten your family. I want to offer my sympathy for your loss. May God give you comfort in knowing what a great family the Harringtons were. Unforgetable. Posted by Lorene Wyldes Evans - Muscatine, IA - neighboor March 21, 2014
