We are saddened by the passing of Larry Sackett, a resident we were truly privileged to know during his stays with us. Over the years, Larry became more than a resident — he became part of our extended family.

He was so proud of his loved ones and never missed an opportunity to share stories about them. His face would light up when talking about his family, his life, and especially about his beloved dog, Charlie. Charlie & Connie’s visits brought him such joy.

Larry was a kind, soft-spoken man with a gentle spirit — but he also had a playful side. He loved to tease the staff, and caring for him was truly enjoyable because of the warmth and humor he brought with him.

We extend our deepest sympathy to his family and loved ones. It was an honor to care for Larry, and he will be deeply missed. 💙

We are sad to share Lester Hickman’s passing. Many in our community knew Les through his years of dedicated service as a pharmacist. More recently, we had the privilege of caring for him during his stays with us, especially in these past months with his wife Shirley.

Les was known for his dry sense of humor and his quiet strength. He was a proud man — proud of his accomplishments, his work, and most of all, his family. It was an honor to know him not only as a professional in our community, but also as a resident and friend.

We extend our heartfelt sympathy to his family and loved ones. May they find peace and comfort in the memories they shared. He will be remembered and missed. 🕊️
