I noticed in this week's Prairie Star on page 6 under the County Reports and Records section a warranty deed from Lloyd G. Zimmerman etux, to Brock Signer Real Estate, LLC and was wondering if Lloyd sold his funeral home to Countryside Funeral Home or if this might be something else instead. Does anyone know?
I have no idea.
We've been out of town, and I just read the paper tonight and also noticed that. Also, in the latest obituaries posted by Countryside, they are calling the Howard funeral home Zimmerman-Countryside Funeral Home. Sounds like it might be a sale. Rick and Tony of Countryside are such professionals and have stepped in and taken over for Lloyd so graciously when he needed the assistance. If he is ready to move on, I hope they will be the new owners.
Yes, Lloyd Zimmerman did sell the Funeral Home to Tony Signer and his partner Rick -- I'm sorry, I don't remember Rick's last name.
I know this transaction took place, because Tony telephoned me and told me so.
It is now operating under the name Countryside/Zimmerman Funeral Home Howard, Kansas.

Congratulations to Tony and Rick.
That is great news. Tony Signer's business partner is Rick Brock.
And Tony and Rick have been doing an excellent job. I'm glad they have taken over completely. Sorry to see Lloyd go.
Congratulations to Tony and Rick, they have done a super job in stepping in for Lloyd. I keep telling Tony I need him to stay around so he can take care of me. Howard is fortunate to have these to young men to take over the Funeral home. Danny and Tony are both really super young men and I know their Mother is really proud of them and their Dad is smiling down on them as well.
We continue to keep Lloyd in our prayers, he has been through so much.
Congratulations to the Countryside-Zimmerman owners. I am happy that we will continue to have the same kind of care that Lloyd was always able to give us.
I was very impressed with them and the facility. Glad to know that we will have them around for years to come.
I for one have never seen "the dead" look so real and lifelike. ( Does this sound macabre?) They do the best job I have ever seen. Congratulations to both of them... and we are more than lucky to have them here in Howard.
It might sound macabre to some people, but you are so right, Teresa. Lloyd and Robin really made the whole experience so much less traumatic. You felt as if your loved one was being lovingly cared for.
I agree with you, Teresa. We are not all alike - there are all sorts of different "gifts" people have - and Tony and Rick have that gift.
Wilma.. I liked Lloyd.. but I was talking about Tony and Rick.. They have a talent in "reconstructing the dead" that no one I have ever met has.. I never used to ever walk by the casket without actually closing my eyes and looking elsewhere as I never thought the people looked good at all.
Now with Tony and Rick at the helm? Its almost as if they will sit up and talk to you. Robin is a wonderful asset to them still too..
Robin Haines?
Robin is a special person. He is so kind and patient. When Mary & I sang at a funeral not long ago, we were asked to sing a song that none of us was familiar with. Robin was so kind and patient while we practiced, over and over until we knew it. Frank did have a very enjoyable visit with him; but, I'm sure he had plenty of other things he could have been doing, and probably his wife would have been pleased just to have him home. He even brought water for us the next day when we sang.
He is a real asset to the community as he is involved with so many other things too. We are very fond of Rick and Tony as well.
I do hope that Lloyd is doing well. He, too, is a great person.

Robin Haines is the pastor of the Flint Hills Assembly of God Church in Howard, Kansas. He is a staple of our Elk County community. Robin also works at the funeral home holding either a funeral home director license or an assistant funeral home director license. I can't remember which he has. Anyway, he is the pastor that conducted my wedding ceremony to my Jimmy the first time, then we re-dedicated ourselves to the Catholic Church in Moline with Father Sixtu when I joined the Catholic Church just recently.
I love Pastor Robin with all my heart. Never could a county be as lucky as Elk County is to have Pastor Robin living among us.
He has been a big help to me and mine on a number of occasions. I agree, a wonderful person.
Janet,
Don't let Pastor Robin fool you. Every time I see him he walks up and shakes my hand, but in the process of shaking my hand his index finger sneaks up and starts feeling for a pulse, and to top it off, if he feels a pulse, he looks at his watch and times it !!! That dude is always looking for "new " customers for the funeral home. LOL
You think I'm joshing you, you just ask pastor Robin. He may not admit it but I gar-an-tee you he will give you that impish smile, that he does ;D
Hmmm... Jar, are you really that pale? I thought you were out in the sun a lot more than that! ;D 8)
Yes, but Jarhead, has he brought out the tape measure, yet????
