    Oh the memories of younger years in Hutchinson that our families shared. Lyla was a buddy to play dolls with, Frankie enjoyed many times with us as well as Bruce. Frank traveled with my husband Ken and me as we led a travel group to Russia and Frank ALWAYS was ahead of the game and did not miss a minute!! Bless all those memories which are now pillars for living our aging lives.
    We go in peace, in love and in hope. Naomi (Broderius)and Ken Carlson

    Bruce & Kay
    Bruce, I’m truly sorry to learn about your brother Frank’s passing. The Broderius and Hanson families had a close relationship back in the 40’s, 50’s 60’s and 70’s.
