  7. If you ever needed a role model for work ethic it was Dwaine VanHuss. In all my 60 years of knowing him he taught me the essence of hard work and dedication. Growing up you look for people in your life that can give you some kind of approval that you are doing the right things. Dwaine was one of my champions. May his soul rest in peace.

  9. I have many fond memories of spending time with the VanHuss family. From hauling hay to eating a dinner full of fresh vegetables to driving a pickup, I loved being around all of them.

Love, Dawn Dryden Apple
