Harvey Herman Linneman
Harvey Herman Linneman is remembered as someone who was active in his church and community and who was always willing to help others.
“He was a very cordial person," said the Rev. Laurence Carlson. "He had a heart for people.”
His wife, Pattie Linneman, described him as “perfect.”
“He was a great husband,” she said. “Everybody loved him.”

Mr. Linneman liked to help people haul their grain, corn, beans and other crops, and he loved watching sports, especially the Kansas City Chiefs and the St. Louis Cardinals, his wife said.
Mr. Linneman served on several council offices at Salem Lutheran Church and was a church elder twice.
“He was in church every Sunday unless he wasn’t feeling well or was out of town,” Carlson said. Mr. Linneman and his wife liked to go out for lunch after the service on Sunday and would often invite Carlson to be their guest.
