With Martin Nelson there was no such thing as a conversation too long. From film and music to art and food, no matter the topic, talking with Martin was always a fun ride that you never wanted to end. Martin Nelson, 60, died August 5, 2020, in Glenview, Illinois from a long illness. Martin is survived by his wife Karen Gaebe of Wilmette, IL, his step-children George Rezek and Jane Rezek; sisters Cindy Pinhas (Pensacola, FL), Robin Mertins (Pensacola, FL), and Maureen Nelson (Washington, D.C.); nephews Aaron Pinhas, Isaac Pinhas and wife Rebeca, and niece Kyle Mertins; sisters-in-law Susan Everett and husband Jon and Lauren Bakker-Arkema and husband Peter and their families. Martin’s parents, Marvin and Marilyn Nelson, predeceased him. Martin also leaves behind an extended family and many great friends. As a small boy, Martin was a constant source of amusement, irritation and affection for his three older sisters, some of which lessened—or increased—as he grew older. Originally from St. Joseph, Missouri, Martin graduated from Central High School in 1978. He attended Carnegie Mellon (Pittsburgh, PA) and The American University (Washington, D.C.), graduating in 1982. He was a resident of Washington, D.C. before relocating to Chicago, where he met the love of his life, Karen in 2007. An independent Emmy award-winning film and video editor, Martin worked for National Geographic, NBC, CNBC, Discovery Channel, PBS, HGTV, Harpo Productions and many other producers. He edited documentaries and fictional films, as well as TV shows, true crime series, movie trailers and commercials. He created the “Godfather Minute” series of short animated films about Jewish history and holidays, which he described as “scholarly-adjacent lessons for my goddaughter Miranda; for my great-nephew and niece Oren and Ava; and for anyone else looking to get it wrong.” Any celebration of Martin’s life would highlight his keen wit, his great taste, his puns, and his colorful choice of shirts. A man known for his incredible hair and beard and a wonderful sense of style, Martin was someone you could hear from across the room over any din and all eyes always gravitated towards him. Martin was a great cook with flair—especially if it was spicy food; a fan of all genres of music—especially if it was Tom Waits; a voracious reader—especially if it was Michael Chabon; a lover of movies—especially if it was directed by Alan Rudolph and an avid collector of outsider art—especially if it was Lupus Garrett. Martin has left an everlasting mark on us all. From work colleagues to close friends and family, he will be forever loved and missed. As his wife Karen said, “He is one well-loved man and I’m lucky to call him mine.” We were all lucky to call him ours. In lieu of flowers, donations in Martin’s name may be made to The National Resources Defense Council or the ACLU in support of campaign finance reform.&nbsp;&nbsp;

William A. “Bill” Lewis  1937 - 2020

On August 5, 2020, Robert “Bob” Eugene O’Callaghan ran into the arms of his Lord &amp; Savior. 

What a celebration in Heaven it must have been to have been finally reunited with his mother and father, Lena May &amp; Christopher O’Callaghan, his eight brother and sisters: Theda, JD, Evelyn, Harold, Marian, Leon, Meredith, and Rose and his sweet grandbaby, Chance O’Callaghan. Bob came into the world on September 14, 1931, at his home in Trenton, Missouri. Soon after, his family moved to St. Joseph, Missouri, where he was raised. After his four older brothers went off to fight in WWII, Bob took over the responsibilities as “Man of the House.” Starting at the young age of 10, Bob worked a variety of odd jobs to support his mother and younger siblings. This was the beginning of a lifelong journey displaying his strong work ethic and dedication to support and care for his family. On September 17, 1953, Bob married the love of his life, JoAnn Churchill. They spent the next 67 years building a life founded on God’s faithfulness. Their love began with a trip to the ice cream parlor and lasted over the next seven decades. They enjoyed years of family vacations, matching t-shirts, and Bob serenading her to “You are my Sunshine.” Bob was an avid storyteller, he never failed to captivate his audience with stories of his pranking days. From his adventures working at Wonder Bread bakery, to dressing up as a clown for children’s birthday parties, to his “dog house” days as a custodian at Central High School. Bob never met a stranger. He had the ability to make everyone feel like they were his best friend. However, Bob did the very best in being a father, grandfather, great-grandfather, and great, great-grandfather. 

His children Terry (Steve) Fisher, Mike (Juanita) O’Callaghan, Robin (Jim) Longnecker, and Donna (Chuck) Adkins. His grandchildren, Stephanie (Robbie) Riggs, Andy (Megan) Fisher, Shawn (Jennifer) Fisher, Courtney (Clint) O’Callaghan, Heather (Brad) Taylor, Amy (Neil) Stangeland, Aubrey (Timmy) Tucker, Ashley (Nathan) Sosa, and Chauncey (Jacob) Grubb. His great-grandchildren: Kayle (Kyle), Kelsey, Scott, Kaythlyn, Clareece, Seth, Hunter, Maylee, Ryker, KJ, and Sebastian. And his great-great-grandchild: Barrett and two more great-grandbabies on the way. Also surviving, Sister-in-law Bernie (Kenny) Springs. 

Bob will be missed most by his family and friends for his laughter and joking nature. Memories of waking his grandkids up to “Sail Around Old Hawk” tickles, serenading his family with Gene Autry’s, “Back in the Saddle,” his love for making funny faces, and his willingness to always to give advice and lend a helping hand will stay with his family forever. Bob was a faithful member and Elder at Faith Bible Church. The most extravagant thing Bob and JoAnn did was paying their tithes. Bob’s life truly represented God’s transforming love and grace. He exemplified what Man of God is. His family takes comfort in knowing that he has gone to prepare a place for his bride, JoAnn. This isn’t goodbye, only see you later. 

The family will receive friends Friday from 6-8PM and with funeral services and public livestream Saturday at 10AM at Rupp Funeral Home. The Interment will be at the Savannah Cemetery in Savannah, Missouri. Online condolence, obituary, and livestream www.ruppfuneral.com

Robert "Bob" Eugene OCallaghan  1931 - 2020

Our precious mother and Oma, Helen Alldredge met the Lord and husband Charles at Heaven's gates on Monday, August 3, 2020.&nbsp; 

Though we lost a sweet and loving mother, grandmother and friend, heaven gained an angel with an outgoing spirit and larger than life personality.&nbsp; Her smile, we are sure, makes heaven that much brighter.&nbsp; "We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord". II Corinthians 5:8. There is no greater peace for the family than to know where our sweet angel is and to know she is with her soul mate, her one and only, husband Charles Alldredge and is sitting in the presence of her Lord and Savior.

Helen was born to the late Ernest and Ella (Hetzel) Belverstone on April 23, 1934 in Linton, ND. She fell in love and was married to Charles E. Alldredge on September 1, 1951 in Belle Fourche, SD. Her love for Charles was undeniable and seen by the life they made with one another.&nbsp; As a military wife she followed Charles to various states and even countries, all while raising 5 beautiful children.&nbsp; Both Helen and Charles enjoyed helping with Little League and were involved in all aspects of their children's lives.

After the children were grown, Charles encouraged Helen to go back to school and with only an 8th grade education, Helen obtained her LPN license and worked as a nurse where she enjoyed caring for the elderly.&nbsp; Dancing, word search, listening to music of all genres from Gospel, patriotic to western music and of course playing BINGO were a few of her favorite past time activities.

Helen is survived by her children: Ruth (Steve) Meyer, Karon Milbourn, Patricia (Ron) Worden, Charles (Kris) Alldredge and Malisa (Chuck) Callaway, 18 grandchildren, 41 great-grandchildren and 17 great great-grandchildren.&nbsp; She is preceded in death by her parents and husband Charles.

Thank you to Carriage Square Assisted Living and Crossroads Hospice for the excellent care given to our angel the past three years.&nbsp; We are beyond thankful for the time God allowed us to have with her.

Visitation 9:00 AM Tuesday, August 11, 2020 at Heaton-Bowman-Smith &amp; Sidenfaden Chapel. Service will follow at 10:00 AM.&nbsp; Interment Leavenworth National Cemetery.

She is blessed with a family which spans five generations of children, grandchildren, Melissa Newman, Paula Newman, Shawn Sprague, Chad Sprague, Vincent Crowley, Ivy Reger, Micah Baker, Tara Dodge, Melanie Fish and her great and great-great grandchildren.

With her family and friends, Jeri shared her love of nature; gardening, camping, fishing, taking walks. Jeri taught her children and grandchildren a respect and appreciation for all living things. She shared that appreciation with others through her volunteer work as a lifelong Girl Scout. Jeri and her husband, Manley, lived and worked at the residential Girl Scout Camp Woodland in Albany for 34 years until retiring to town in 2004. She loved books, had a quick sense of humor, liked numbers, puzzles, card games, dancing, and a good cup of coffee.

Along with her hobbies and passions, Jeri served as the Housekeeping and Environmental Services Director at Gentry County Memorial Hospital, now Mosaic Medical Center, Albany, until her retirement. She was a caregiver, not just to her family when they needed comfort and care, but to her mother and Aunt Doran Modie in her home at the end of their lives. She was a bookkeeper to her family’s businesses, helped manage her granddaughter’s store, and a full-time volunteer at the Bookworm Bargains bookstore in Albany.
