Craig Corbet, 68, died Monday, March 1st at his home in Iola, KS. He was born in Hiawatha, KS, the son of Murl and Dolores Corbet, on July 19, 1952. The family lived in Hiawatha until 1961 when they moved to Garden City, KS. In 1965, they moved to Yates Center, KS where Craig graduated from Yates Center High School in 1970.

June 16th, 1970, at the age of 17, Craig’s parents agreed to his wishes of joining the United States Air Force. This was the beginning of one of the most memorable chapters in his life. Craig was an E-4 Sergeant, mechanic on jets with over two engines. He was called to active duty in Vietnam and spent most of his time working and maintaining his KC-135 refueler as a Crew Chief. The Air Force took him across the world through the South Pacific, Western parts of Europe, and Alaska. A lot of stories Craig would share came from his experience as a part time hunting guide in Alaska. While stationed in Okinawa, he met and married Donna Porter. Craig ended his career with the Air Force in 1974 and joined the Air National Guard. He was honorably discharged from the Armed Forces of the United States in June 1976.

Craig and his family set their roots in Iola, KS. Craig attended Allen County Community College from 1978 to 1983 earning his Associates in small business management. During college he began a career working for his father at the Yates Center Locker Plant. In 1985, Craig purchased the Leroy Locker in Leroy, KS. He spent 16 years operating the Locker and providing customers with quality meat. His smoked beef jerky was admired by many. Craig kept himself busy between family, work and helping out others with projects. In 1999, Craig with his father Murl and son Chris purchased a Liquor store in Iola, KS and closed the Locker in 2001. He began working for DART Oil and Gas Corp. in 2006 until he was offered a maintenance position at Gates in Iola in 2014. Craig retired from Gates in March 2019.

Craig was a member of the American Legion in Yates Center for 19 years. He was also a regular blood donor having donated multiple gallons over his lifetime. Craig was a very talented man who could fix or build anything and was especially good at figuring out what he did not already know when he encountered a problem. Craig enjoyed traveling the world with his good friend Greg. He loved visiting with family and friends.

Art and music were a large part of Craig's life. He enjoyed drawing and Craig always had music playing in his home.&nbsp; He listened to and followed many musicians throughout their careers and shared music with family and friends. Most recently he had been introduced to outdoor bluetooth speakers and his neighbors took great joy in hearing his tunes play since he was constantly working outdoors. Since retirement he enjoyed gardening, cooking (his chocolate cookies were the best) and continued helping friends and family.&nbsp;

Craig is survived by his son Christopher and wife Stephanie of Coeur d'alene, ID and daughter Shannon Swanson of Spring Hill, KS., two sisters DeeAnn Freeman and husband Jim of Overland Park, KS, Karen Berman and husband Dave, of Las Vegas, NV.,&nbsp; five grandchildren Emily, Amelia, Caden, Carter, and Crosby and two great-grandchildren; Arabella and Olivia as well as many nieces and nephews. Craig was preceded in death by his parents.

Craig was loved by many for his wisdom and gentle spirit. He will be greatly missed.

All are welcome to attend his service that will be held at Oak Hill Cemetery in Severance Kansas at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday, March 13. Shane Spangler will officiate.&nbsp; Military honors a courtesy of the Brown County Veterans Honor Guard.

Lisa Stull  1957 - 2021

Joseph F. "Joe" Mazur, 83, of St. Joseph, MO died on&nbsp; Saturday, March 6, 2021 at his residence.&nbsp;

Joe was a beloved husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, brother, uncle, cousin, stepfather, step-grandfather, and step-great-grandfather.

He is preceded in death by his parents Walter and Agnes (Werner) Mazur, wife MaryAnn (Felling) Mazur, and son Charles "Charlie" R. Mazur and step-son Steven Greub.

Joe married his sweetheart, MaryAnn Mazur on January 18, 1958. They have five children: Laurie Schneider (Herbert, deceased), Mike Mazur (Nancy), James Mazur-Gibeault (Michael Gibeault), Theresa Mazur (Chuck Troxel), and "Charlie" Mazur (deceased).

Joe loved to drive and educate his family about other cultures, history, and beautiful outdoors through family vacations and camping adventures. Visiting Mount Rushmore, Pikes Peak, The Grand Canyon, and Canada to name a few. Some family trips were to visit family.

He is survived by his sister, Judy Messbarger (Chick) and nieces and nephews.

A memorable visit was to Long Pine, NE when a severe thunderstorm struck washing out the road. Joe made the best decisions he could at the time parking the pickup and sleeping in the back under the camper shell. He made sure to trudge through the mud to communicate with the house up the road that the truck on their road was there in peace. Joe enjoyed fishing in local farm ponds to bond with his children.

Joe graduated from Christian Brothers High School Class of 1955. He was Class President and Captain of the football team. Joe represented "you do what you must do to survive" by being a hard worker holding two jobs and going to school at Northwest Missouri State (1965), earning a degree in Finance and Insurance.

Eventually, he had time to coach baseball, softball and basketball teaching the importance of dedication and unity as a team.

Joe worked at Western Dairy (1958) while attending college, Wire Rope as a Cost Accountant (1957-59), and&nbsp; Whittaker&nbsp; Cable (1959-62)&nbsp; as&nbsp; Human Resource Manager. He was a Purchaser and Office Manager&nbsp; at&nbsp; Kneib,&nbsp; Inc (1962-69).&nbsp; Joe started as a Purchasing Agent at Shamrad Metal&nbsp; Fabricators&nbsp; on February&nbsp; 1, 1973 before becoming a successful business owner of Shamrad in 1985 with partner Jerry Campbell.

Joe served a total of eight years as a member of the Air National Guard (June 16, 1955 -&nbsp; June 16, 1960) and the Air Force Reserves (June 16, 1960 - June 16, 1963).

He has six grandchildren: Rebecca Schneider, Jason Schneider, Luke Mazur, Paige Mazur, Kayla Orzel, and Ryan Orzel, and six great-grandchildren.

Joe married Imogene Greub on April 25, 1992. She survives him of the home.

Also surviving are; Gregory Greub, Margaret Rice (Brycen), Philip Greub, Marilyn Park (Jaye), Madeline Meyer (Jeff), Charles Greub, and Maureen Greub. There are twenty-one step-grandchildren and four step great-grandchildren.

&nbsp;Joe retired from Shamrad on January 31, 2004. During retirement he enjoyed travelling to family and&nbsp; friends, especially&nbsp; if the&nbsp; location&nbsp; was in the&nbsp; warmth of the sun as San Diego, CA, Phoenix, AZ, and&nbsp; Vero Beach, FL. He sponsored and encouraged Greub family reunions in Branson, MO for years. Joe had a good sense of humor as his laughter proved while watching the Three Stooges. He could always be found reading.

Joe continued to go into work at Shamrad, I -2 days per week, as a source of grounding and purpose. Shamrad was his proudest accomplishment. He was a member of Knights of Columbus #571, Knights of The Fourth Degree # 569, Knights of Malta, Knights of Holy Sepulcher, American Legion Post 359 and a former President of the St. Joseph Chamber of Commerce 1992.

Mass of Christian Burial 10:00 AM Friday at Cathedral of St. Joseph Catholic Church. Interment with full military honors will follow at Mount Olivet Cemetery.

A parish rosary will be recited at 6:00 PM, Thursday at Cathedral of St. Joseph Catholic Church where the family will receive friends following the rosary until 9:00 PM

Arrangements are under the direction of Heaton-Bowman-Smith &amp; Sidenfaden Chapel.
