Funeral services
for William Luppen will be held on

Avenue, in Garner with Rev. Paul Evans

Ewing Funeral Chapel in Britt is
assisting the family with arrangements. Bill was born on
April 4, 1935, at home near Kanawha,
Iowa, to Will and Carrie Luppen. He grew
up on a farm near Kanawha and after HS
graduation began working at the North
Iowa Experimental Farm. On a blind date
he met the love of his life and married
Janet Smith on 11/7/1954. They were
transferred to the Howard County
Experimental farm where for the next 12
years he worked with ISU farm research.
In 1969 he became the plant manager for
CFS in Garner and later purchased the
plant and started B&L Farmacy until his
retirement in 2004.
At 0430 every morning the coffee
club would commence at B&L to resolve
local and governmental issues. If only
the fertilizer generated from those
early philosophical discussions could
have been bagged all involved would have
retired early and rich. Unable to remain
retired he worked at Stellar Industries
until illness forced him to retire. Bill devoted his
time to his wife, family, and love of
his work. Always with a smile and a kind
word he would go out of his way to help
anyone. He was the ultimate role model
as a father and devoted husband. His
departure leaves a huge gap but his
memories and examples will lead the next
generation. Bill is survived
by his children, son Kevin (Janice) and
their children Gregory and Sadie of
Wasilla, Alaska; son Milo (Kim) and his
sons Jordan, Riley, and Jake of White
Bear Lake, Minnesota; daughter Bambi
(Jeff) Urich and her sons Tyler, Trevor
(Whitney) and Tanner (Sarah) of Garner,
Iowa; daughter Misty (Tony) Bartleson
and their daughters Cheslea (Zach),
Natessa, Miranda of Forest City, Iowa;
daughter Kelli (Doug) Krutsinger and
their children Ian and Emma of Marengo,
Iowa. Great-grandchildren Braylon and
Hayden Urich and Harlow Frederick.
Sisters Carolyn (Dennis)
Lamoreux, Britt, Iowa and Janet (Dale)
Sundeen of Golden, Colorado.
Bill was
preceded in death by his wife, Janet,
his parents Will and Carrie, Brother
Roger Keith, and son-in-law Bernie
Urich.
In lieu of
flowers the family suggests memorial
contributions to the Bernie Urich
Memorial Music Scholarship.

Gladys Gwendolyn Greimann was born on
March 15, 1922, on the family farm
outside of Garner, the seventh of eight
children of William Henry and Bettie
Emilie (Schuldt) Greimann. Despite the
economic hard times of the 1930s, she
had many happy memories of her
childhood. The children waded in the
creek and played in the walnut and
willow grove in summer and played fox
and goose in the winter snow. She was
confirmed at the Peace Reformed Church.
She attended Garner High School and
graduated from the normal program for
teachers when she was 16. Because she
was too young to take a teaching
position, she completed an education
degree at Cedar Falls Teachers' College
(University of Northern Iowa). She then
taught in several schools in Ell
Township and Cerro Gordo counties.
Shortly after they wed, Eldridge entered
the Army Air Corps, and Gladys joined
him as he moved between bases. She
worked a variety of jobs, including a
munitions factory to aid the war effort.
After the war ended, the couple resided
first in Thornton and then at the
Greimann family farm, where she raised
their five children. After the children
were grown, she took a position with the
Iowa State Department of Human Services.
Gladys was active in the Klemme UCC
church, where she served as elder. She
loved singing, playing her piano, and
was an accomplished writer who compiled
family histories.
Her death was sudden, unexpected, and
mercifully peaceful.
She is survived by her loving husband of
73 years, Eldridge, her children, Glen
(Sioux), Lynn (Raymond), Roxy (Jim), and
Beth (Bill); her grandchildren, Sarah
and Kyle; and her brother Earl (Alice).
She was predeceased in death by her
beloved son, Rex Edward.
Gladys had many friends in the community
and will be greatly missed.
No formal funeral services are planned
at this time. Memorials are suggested to
Immanuel Reformed UCC Church of Klemme,
the family of Gladys Alden, or to the
donor's choice.
