Clifford G. Miller Jr.
Clifford Gordon Miller, Jr passed away January 29, 2024 at the age of 81. Cliff went to several grade schools in his youth until our parents got settled in the Havelock area. Cliff went to Lincoln Northeast High School and was one of the few who went all 6 years for both junior and senior high school. Cliff loved his horse races (excellent handicapper), his music especially jazz, stereo equipment, photography, Huskers football and Havelock. He lived in Havelock his whole life and had many childhood friends and knew everything there was to know about Havelock. He had many interesting stories about his days in Havelock. Cliff enlisted in the Army after school and served our country for 3 1/2 yrs mostly in Germany. During that time he had many details that earned him the Good Conduct Medal with a letter sent to our parents from his commanding officer telling them how proud his was having Cliff serve under his command. He then worked for the State/Department of Roads as a surveyor until he got on the railroad Burlington Northern which he worked 35 yrs until retirement (which I found a bunch pins in his closet showing his good work ethic). He was a great bowler like his father which he was a member of the 700 club and bowled a high score of 298 with 11 strikes in a row. He was an expert on jazz and had all the albums which he would listen for hours on his stereo equipment. He was an excellent statistician which he kept track of all the football games, horse races, lottery number etc. Cliff had a fantastic memory all in tact until he passed. He remembered everything from his whole life. Being with him and caring for him for the last 7 months, he told me many stories of his life. I learned a lot of my brother in the time with him as he kept his life mostly to himself as he was a very private person. Cliff didn’t want any “hoopla” after his passing so to honor him we decided that I would write an obituary and post it on Facebook and here, hoping it reaches the people that cared and knew him. He was a gentle soul, a kind man with good heart for anyone, never judged anyone and generous to anyone in need. He was a loner…to quote Cliff “I like flying under the radar” and lived his life that way. He didn’t need much to be happy and content just enjoying what he loved in life and living modestly. If you met Cliff you liked him, he was just that kind of guy. We want to the thank the the hospice team from Tranditions for all their help and guidance through this transition with Cliff’s cancer. They were wonderful and they loved Cliff and he loved them back as he developed a special friendship with all the wonderful ladies that attended to him but especially with his main nurse Barb and his aide Lane. He is survived by his sisters, Cathy Miller and Candy Rees, cousin Debby Barnes and cousin Lynn Miller. Nephew Corey Skaggs, wife Julie and their son Mason. Grand nephew Robert Skaggs,Jr, grand Neices Sofie, Alexa and Ava Skaggs, their mother Jenny. His niece Holly Salzman, nephew Casey Bryan. He is preceded in death of his parents Babe and Zetta Miller and nephew Robert Skaggs Jr. To leave a condolence please use the form below.

JoAnn June Williams
February 7, 1950 – January 26, 2024 JoAnn June Williams, 73, of Kearney, passed away on January 26, 2024. She was born on February 7, 1950 in York, Nebraska to Robert and June (Stahr) Knipfel. JoAnn was a member of Holy Cross Lutheran Church of Kearney. She is survived by her loving husband: Stan Williams; children: Christopher Williams of Pennsylvania and Kim Williams of Los Angeles, CA; siblings: Don (Terese) Knipfel of Bella Vista AR, Susan (Paul) Hurd of Seattle WA, and Nancy (Roger) Goodban of Kearney NE; and many nieces and nephews. JoAnn was preceded in death by her parents and sister Jean (Lester) Siebert. JoAnn worked as a clerk in a dime store, grocery store, and lumber yard as she traveled with her husband to different duty stations in the Nebraska sandhills while he served with the Nebraska State Patrol. JoAnn’s greatest joy was when she ran a daycare in Valentine, Nebraska; she loved children and loved watching them grow up. After Stan transferred to York, NE, she continued her work in childcare for several years. In 2001 Stan retired from the patrol and she joined him in creating Blue Knight Security, where she was a partner, bookkeeper, and human resource manager. During the ten years they operated Blue Knight Security, JoAnn enjoyed the many officers that Blue Knight employed as well as the customers that utilized their services. JoAnn also became very active in supporting and volunteering at York Adopt a Pet. Her love for animals knew no bounds. After ten years, the company was passed on to Pat and Josh Dorcey, and Stan and JoAnn retired to Bella Vista, AR, where they enjoyed their house on top of a hill in the woods, watching all manner of various birds and wildlife that came to visit. Because of declining health, they moved back to Kearney, NE in 2021. JoAnn passed in the early morning hours on January 26th, 2024. She was attended by her loving husband Stan and loving daughter Kim. She was at peace with the world and looking forward to life eternal in God’s Kingdom. JoAnn’s Memorial Service will be April 23rd, 2024 at 11:00 a.m. at Emmanuel Lutheran Church in York, NE; 806 N Beaver Ave. Any memorials can be sent to York Adopt a Pet, or donor’s choice.
