REST IN PEACE, FRIENDS In January, C & B lost 2 of its family members, Rick Sanders, a salesman in Corsica, and Larry Hartwig, a service technician in Truman. Both men will be sorely missed by their coworkers and friends at C & B.
In the words of those closest to Rick “Rick was a gifted storyteller and unofficial historian, fueled by his exceptional memory and his deep love for family and friends. He loved living life outdoorspheasant hunting with his dog and constant companion Zelda, fishing, and golfing – and especially enjoyed sharing those moments with the cherished people in his life. Rick was a proud and devoted grandfather who spent many happy hours playing trucks and tractors with his grandkids, cheering them on during sporting events, and teaching them to hunt and love adventures and the outdoors. Rick deeply loved, and was loved by, the people he shared his life with.” Rick was raised in Truman, MN and had been with Noteboom/C & B since 2010. He leaves behind 3 children and 5 grandchildren.
