Although Maynard never finished high school due to illness and having to work on his parents' farm, he was a very talented man. He could make something from nothing with his carpentry skills, had a talent for growing things, and a love of animals. He could fix anything you brought his way. He was an unassuming, quiet and honorable man with a very dry sense of humor, once described as being "steady as the wheat." He drove truck for Mid America Dairymen for 38 years, during which he served as a union steward for his Teamsters local. A hard-worker all his life, he was a fair and honest man -- his word was his bond. I am so very proud to have called him Dad.
