Charles Eugene Maxwell

Paul F. Miller was born July 9, 1934, in Nashville, KS to Fredrick and Elizabeth (Arensdorf) Miller. In 1952, he graduated from Zenda Hight School in Zenda, KS. He was the first in his family to attend and graduate from high school. After graduating he helped on the family farm and started his own construction business with homes and rural buildings being his specialty. On August 6, 1966, he married Linda J. Snodgrass in Willowdale, KS.

In 1972, Paul began work for Kansas Wildlife and Parks as a Game Warden initially serving Pratt, Barber and Kiowa counties. However, he soon relocated to the Manhattan area in spring 1973 where he was assigned to Riley County. He worked as a Game Warden for 10 years before he became the assistant supervisor in Law Enforcement for the Kanas Northeast region. In 1991 Paul became the Manager of Tuttle Creek State Park in Manhattan, KS and held that position until his retirement. During this time, he was instrumental in the rebuilding of the State Park after the devastating flood of 1993. Additionally, Paul was responsible for contracting the ‘Country Stampede” that brought many to the NE Kansas Community until it moved in 2019.

In Paul’s spare time, her pursued his love of fishing and quickly became Manhattan’s best-known fishman. His reputation grew around Northeast Kansas, not only for his knowledge, but for his willingness to share it with those inquiring about where the fish were biting. However, he never shared his “honey-hole.” He was known for saying that “fishing is great, but the catching varies a lot.” He truly believed he had the perfect job as it allowed him time to fish.

Paul retired from Kansas Wildlife and Parks in April 1997 and started a successful fishing guide business, mainly in the “triangle lakes” as he called them – Tuttle Creek, Milford and Council Grove. He guided professionally for 20 years until his health showed him down. He continued to enjoy visiting with folks at coffee and church, and really anyone, and usually the conversation turned to the outdoors.

 </figure>Paul F. Miller was born July 9, 1934, in Nashville, KS to Fredrick and Elizabeth (Arensdorf) Miller. In 1952, he graduated from Zenda Hight School in Zenda, KS. He was the first in his family to attend and graduate from high school. After graduating he helped on the family farm and started his own construction business with homes and rural buildings being his specialty. On August 6, 1966, he married Linda J. Snodgrass in Willowdale, KS.In 1972, Paul began work for Kansas Wildlife and Parks as a Game Warden initially serving Pratt, Barber and Kiowa counties. However, he soon relocated to the Manhattan area in spring 1973 where he was assigned to Riley County. He worked as a Game Warden for 10 years before he became the assistant supervisor in Law Enforcement for the Kanas Northeast region. In 1991 Paul became the Manager of Tuttle Creek State Park in Manhattan, KS and held that position until his retirement. During this time, he was instrumental in the rebuilding of the State Park after the devastating flood of 1993. Additionally, Paul was responsible for contracting the ‘Country Stampede” that brought many to the NE Kansas Community until it moved in 2019.In Paul’s spare time, her pursued his love of fishing and quickly became Manhattan’s best-known fishman. His reputation grew around Northeast Kansas, not only for his knowledge, but for his willingness to share it with those inquiring about where the fish were biting. However, he never shared his “honey-hole.” He was known for saying that “fishing is great, but the catching varies a lot.” He truly believed he had the perfect job as it allowed him time to fish.Paul retired from Kansas Wildlife and Parks in April 1997 and started a successful fishing guide business, mainly in the “triangle lakes” as he called them – Tuttle Creek, Milford and Council Grove. He guided professionally for 20 years until his health showed him down. He continued to enjoy visiting with folks at coffee and church, and really anyone, and usually the conversation turned to the outdoors.Throughout his lifetime, Paul shared this love of the outdoors by serving in leadership positions and as an educator for many organizations, including: Outdoor Writers of Kansas (President), Outdoor Writers of America (Member), Riley County Fish and Game (President and lifetime member), Kansas Association of Public Employees (Member), Kansas Peace Officers Association (Member), Tuttle Creek Lake Association (President and Founder), Youth Fishing Clinic (Founder) and Knights of Columbus (4th Degree and lifetime member).

James Ray Dille was born July 30, 1960, in St. Louis, MO to George Russell Dille and Daisy Rae (Mahoney) Dille and died June 23, 2024. He was 63 years old.&nbsp;

He was preceded in death by his mother, Daisy, and his grandparents.&nbsp;

He grew up in Topeka, KS, graduated from Topeka West HS in 1978, and graduated with a BS in Anthropology from Kansas State University in 1987. He worked for nearly 30 years at K-State as a lab animal technician for the Comparative Medicine Group (CMG) in the College of Veterinary Medicine, research technologist at the Biosecurity Research Institute (BRI) between 2014-22, and recently as Facility Manager for the CMG.

On December 2, 2008, he married Cynthia Faye Knauft, the love of his life. They cherished each other and spent 30 years together. James is survived by his father George, his brother Russell (Anita), nephews George (Anna), Clint (Emma), and Jacob, two great-nephews (Ellis and Hayes) and one great niece (Rylen Rae). James is also survived by his mother-in-law Patsy R. Liggett, brother-in-law Charles F. Knauft IV (Charlene) with nephew Chaz (Sencia) and niece Nikole (Michael Neuterman) and great-nephews Adrian and Jackson, and brother-in-law Christopher F. Knauft (Britt) and nieces Sara and Emma. He is also survived by his uncle James F. Dille (Mary), uncle James ‘Buddy’ Mahoney, and many cousins.

James and Cynthia spent much of their time together in Manhattan, KS. James had many animals he loved throughout his life, especially Hardly (hardly big enough to be called a dog), Coco (retired Therapy Dog), Ralphie (retired Therapy Dog that would forget who James was if he was in the basement too long), and beloved black cat, KittyKitty, along with a menagerie of other rescue animals and birds. They were season ticket holders for K-State Women’s Basketball and cheered on the Lady Cats together with George and Daisy for many seasons. James enjoyed all K-State sports teams and together they were avid KC Royals and Chiefs fans.

James, also known as JR or Jay to his friends and family, loved to stay connected with everyone that crossed paths with him through life. He could recall the names and birthdays and other details of every friend and interaction at the drop of a hat. On his motorcycle rides around the US, he would be sure to reach out and visit people he knew. He enjoyed being outdoors and liked to hunt, fish, and do rock climbing. Nearly every summer, James would go on a one-week motorcycle trip and meet up with his fellow FJR riders. His favorite road to ride was Spearfish Canyon, in Spearfish, SD, and he was returning from there when this tragic accident took place.

Services to remember James will be on Saturday, July 6, 2024, at 2:00 p.m.&nbsp; at the Westmoreland United Methodist Church, 109 Main St., Westmoreland, KS 66549. After the service and visitation, his ashes will be scattered at 3:30 p.m. near to his mother, Daisy, across the Kansas Flint Hills on the Dille Farm near Olsburg, KS.

Donations in memory of James Ray Dille can be designated to the T. Russell Reitz Animal Shelter or the Sunset Zoo, both in Manhattan, KS.

Thomas (Tom) Richard Manney passed away in the company of family and friends on 14 June 2024 at the age of 90.

He is survived by his beloved “pal” and wife of 68 years, Monta Lee (Hathaway) Manney; four daughters: Natalya Lowther and Gloria (spouse Keith McElroy Jr.), Ruth, and Namaste Manney; grandchildren David Paul (Calumet “Callie” Foley), Angela “Angie” (Cody) Nederhoff, Neil Manney, and Timothy and Aubyn Patrick; great grandchildren Kierra Henry (Jacob Mason), Caden Henry, Rodrick Neel, and Felix Koch; and great great grandchildren Luna, Nova, and 2024 Baby Mason; as well as several step grandchildren, including Haley (Hezekiah) Phelps, and step great grandchildren, including Melody Phelps and Kimberly Patrick.

He was born on 20 December 1933 in El Paso, TX. His parents, Olaus “Oscar” Wines and Martha “Martie” Bean Manney; his brother James William “Bill” (Jean); and his niece Martha “Martie” preceded him in death.

Tom’s earliest passions were the outdoors and photography. In college, he gained two new passions, Monta and science, in the same biology class. After positions at Oak Ridge National Labs, Case Western Reserve University, and UC Berkeley, he took a dual appointment in Physics and Biology Departments at Kansas State University, attaining full professorship and tenure. He did groundbreaking research in yeast genetics before turning to science education work in collaboration with Monta late in his career. Tom loved teaching science to beginning students, and multiplied that love by inspiring school teachers in the Kansas Association of Teachers of Science (KATS) and through the Genetics Education Network Extension program.

Tom’s love of the outdoors meant weekends full of road trips, hiking, camping, and sailing with his family. He was active in the Blue Valley Yacht Club (especially in establishing its current facilities), Audubon Society, and Prairie Walkers.

There was a lot of overlap between Tom’s academic colleagues, his fellow sailors, and members of the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Manhattan. Groups of these lifelong friends gathered for lunch in his office daily for decades.

Retirement let Tom pursue more passions. A life-long environmentalist, he designed and helped build their passive solar home in the Flint Hills, with special touches just for his wife: counters that weren’t too tall, and the first room of her own that she’d ever had. His woodworking skills developed from finish carpentry to fine furniture to mountain dulcimers, and special items for his children and grandchildren. He was active in the Kansas Quality Woodworkers group. He was active in the Keats Lions Club and enjoyed becoming a licensed fireworks operator managing their shows.

Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Manhattan gave Tom a community to deepen his practical and social values. He built furnishings, did photography for directories, and served in many other ways. He was active in the Manhattan Alliance for Peace and Justice, campaigning for LGBTQ rights among other issues. He chaired the No NBAF in Kansas organization, drawing on his professional experience in biosecurity.

In so many ways, Tom left the world a better place than he found it. May we honor his memory by doing likewise.

There are no events scheduled at this time. (Yorgensen-Meloan-Londeen Funeral Home, 1616 Poyntz Ave, Manhattan, KS 66502)
