He was marvelous dancer and enjoyed dancing with his sisters, Vikki and Melody. They even made an appearance on the television show, Disco Tech and would spend many nights at Val-Air Ballroom.

On-line condolences: DyamondMemorial.com Miss Me, But Let Me Go When I come to the end of the road And the sun has set for me, I want no rites in a gloom-filled room, Why cry for a soul set free! Miss me a little - but not for long And not with your head bowed low. Remember the love that we once shared, Miss me, but let me go. For this journey that we all must take And each must go alone; It's all a part of the Master's plan A step on the road to home. When you are lonely and sick at heart Go to the friends we know, And bury your sorrows in doing good deeds. Miss me, but let me go. - Edgar Albert Guest (1881-1959) A Celebration of Life Gathering 1pm – 4pm Sunday, April 15, 2018 Autumn Ridge clubhouse 2050 SE Four Seasons Drive Ankeny, Iowa.
