Jan and I first square danced with, then became good friends with both Oscar and Myrtle, for many years. Oscar became our (Farmers) auto Insurance agent. I remember bugging him to be sure and keep my rate down every time my new premium came due. And, he did!!
We kept in touch with both Myrtle, and also with Bruce after Oscar died. Bruce then became our Farmers agent for some time.
Both Jan and I have wonderful memories of Myrtle. We add our sincere sympathy to you, Bruce, and also to your entire Rieker family. Your Mom and Dad were very special people in our lives.
