It is with great sadness we announce that on May 11, 2021 our beloved Donald William Rubertus was called home.
Don was born in Marshall, Minnesota on February 17, 1931, born to Floyd Ross Rubertus and mother, Alyce Johanne Paal. He was baptized, made his holy communion and confirmed at Holy Redeemer Catholic Church in Marshall, Minn.
His lifelong love of music began at 6 years old when he learned to play piano and by elementary school was playing a squeeze box organ for the stations of the cross. He attended Marshall High School, graduating third in his class. In high school he was involved in track and field, during his senior year won every 120-yard high hurdle event at Marshall, even setting new records. Upon graduation, he studied at St. John's University in Collegeville, Minn. where he studied music and continued his love of sports, becoming a top football player and winning many awards in track and field hurdles.
He was ordained a Catholic Priest at the St. Paul Cathedral in 1957 and assigned to the minor seminary at Nazareth Hall, 13 years later it was closed after Vatican II. Don took a year leave and completed his music education degree, graduating with distinction with a BA degree. He was on a team that introduced the new liturgical norms giving workshops and seminars to parish musicians throughout the diocese. Don was also the chairman of the committee for continuing education for priests and parish musicians. When Nazareth Hall closed in 1970, he was assigned to St Joseph's Parish in New Hope, while there he was the music director and assistant pastor correlating the music for all the masses. The now noted liturgical composer, Mike Joncas asked Don to present his new composition, "Eagles Wings," to Don's choir. The choir, under Don's direction sang, this now famous song in public for the first time. The song was so well received, upon Don's suggestion, Mike copyrighted the song. As the years progressed, his heavy workload at the parish was causing health problems, at that time he took a less stressful position in special education where he taught for 20 years at Barnum High School in Duluth.
After dispensation from the priesthood in 1976, Don embarked on a new blessed adventure, when he was wed to Lorraine King at St. Michaels church in Duluth. Lorraine's family adored Don and were thrilled when they married. Lorraine's sister once laughingly said, "If the marriage ends in divorce, it will be Lorraine to blame" and her brothers response was that Lorraine could search 100 years and never find another man as fine as Don. Their marriage was filled with love and admiration, together they traveled extensively throughout the United States and Europe. In 1994 they built a home in Arizona, and by 1995 were fulltime residents where they immediately made many lifelong friends. As was his generous nature, he continued sharing his knowledge and love for music where he volunteered at Dysart High School and was a member of the Desert Aires, winning numerous musical awards. Over a 20-year period, he was active at the St. Elizabeth Seton Catholic church volunteering in any way possible.
Don's heart was filled with passion, love and brought hope and joy to all who were blessed to know him. He will be greatly missed.
Funeral Mass will be held at 11:00 am on Tuesday, May 18 at St. Elizabeth Seton Catholic Church, 9728 W. Palmeras Dr. in Sun City, Arizona.

Harold J. Johnson (Hal), a longtime resident of Kingman, AZ, passed away on May 8, 2021 at the age of 87 in Peoria, AZ.
The youngest of two sons born to Harold and Eva Johnson in Osceola, NE on May 26, 1934, Hal’s family moved west and lived in various cities in California and throughout coastal towns in Washington. Hal later returned to Osceola where he graduates from Osceola High School.
As a young man, Hal developed a great work ethic and was highly driven. He worked numerous jobs growing up, including holding a position at his father’s famous Hollywood, CA restaurant, Kelbo’s Hawaiian BBQ, before enlisting in the Naval (Air) Reserves in 1952 in Lincoln, NE at age 18. It was in 1955 that he was called to active duty, and it was upon his honorable discharge in 1964 that Hal immediately reenlisted and served another eight years before he fully retired as a Chief Petty Officer in December of 1972. The service took him all over the United States, Newfoundland, Azores, Spain, Hawaii, Guam, Vietnam, and Japan.
It was in 1953 while living in Lincoln, Nebraska that Hal met and fell in love with Arlene Pint, a native of Pierce, NE. They married in her hometown on February 12, 1955, which Hal affectionately referred to as one of the best days of his life in spite of the record low temperature of 15 degrees below zero that morning.
Hal and Arlene raised five children and lived from coast to coast so Hal could serve our country before they settled in Kingman, AZ in 1967. It was in Kingman where Hal, Arlene, and their children helped build the Kampgrounds Of America (KOA Campgrounds, AZ) with Hal’s father, stepmother, and his uncle. He was instrumental in the growth of Kingman and devoted himself to community work as a member of numerous clubs and advisory boards. In 2011, Hal and Arlene moved to Peoria, AZ to be closer to family after their children had graduated from Kingman High School and went on to pursue their own careers throughout the United States.
Hal was the epitome of the definition of “having an entrepreneurial spirit,” which was evident as being recognized throughout his lifetime with numerous business awards, including the prestigious Andy Awards for Business Person of the Year and again as Lifetime Achiever of the Year. Hal started his successful real estate business where, in just a few short years, he purchased Storms Real Estate and later added multiple Century 21 franchises in Arizona: Bullhead City, Lake Havasu City, and Valley Vista. He eventually sold the Century 21 business in 2001 and then fully retired May 2008.
Hal and Arlene loved to travel with countless trips with the kids to San Diego/Huntington Beach, boat camping at Lake Mohave/Havasu/Mead/Powell, motorhome road trips to visit relatives in Nebraska, and of course just up the hill to the family-built Hualapai Mountain cabin. Hal and Arlene visited most all of the US, Mexico, Canada, Bermuda, Caribbean Islands, Panama Canal, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Kenya, Seychelles Islands, Yemen, Egypt, Australia, and Fiji. Some of their favorite trips were week-long romantic stays in both Cabo and Coronado Island.
Hal is survived by Arlene, his loving and caring wife of 66 years, and their children: Shari (Barry) Thomas, Gilbert, AZ; Mark (Susan) Johnson, Colorado Springs, CO; Sandra (Fred) Gustin, Henderson, NV; Glenn Johnson (Cheryl Zarobell), Phoenix, AZ; and Suzanne (Mike) Johnson-Hutchinson, Glendale, AZ and step-brother Dave (Penny) Grinde, Reno, NV.
Other than golf, his most favorite thing in the world was spending time with family including his 10 grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren
Hal is predeceased by his father (Hal Sr), mother (Eva), stepmothers (Ann & Rosalie), stepfather (Jack), brother and his wife (Don & Jeanne), two half-sisters (Donna & Sharon), and grandson (Chad). Hal also leaves behind many dear relatives and friends.
Services will be held on Monday June 14, 2021 at 10:30am at St Thomas More Catholic Church, 6180 W Utopia Rd, Glendale AZ. Immediately after church service there will be a Celebration of Life at Arrowhead Country Club at 19888 N 73rd Ave, Glendale AZ.

In 1966, Richard & Bev built the Dairy Queen in Langdon, which they named the Four Queens Dairy Queen in honor of their four girls, Brenda, Kim, Terryl and Helen. But in the process of building it, God wasn’t quite done with their family and that same year, they were blessed with a son, Dan. When they sold the Dairy Queen in 1979, they started a business called Sports & Shirts on Main Street in Langdon.

They spent many years traveling from Langdon to Pelican Lake until 1989, they built their lake home and in 1993 they made Pelican Lake MN their permanent home.

Once a Marine. Always a Marine.
This Marine, Lester T. Keely, was born on May 21, 1941 to Dorothy and Frank Keely and raised in Parkchester, The Bronx. A graduate of Manhattan Prep, Les joined the United States Marine Corps in 1959 through Parris Island. Les spent his time in the Corps stationed in Japan, an experience that he treasured throughout his life.
After the Corps Les joined Discount Corp of New York as a bonds tradesman, ending his career on Wall Street as a Vice President. Shenanigans, friendship, loyalty and growth were abundant during these years, of which he spoke often.
An avid sports player and fan, Les loved his New York Rangers, and all of his years alive past their 1994 Stanley Cup Championship Win were a bonus for us all. A hockey player, a baseball player were not just what he was, but what his sons became and eventually his grandsons too. His pride came from watching his children and grandchildren play, whether it was sports, music or art. Whatever brought his family joy, brought him great pride.
He had such a love of music. Les would fill his house with his favorites every day, from Gershwin to Chicago. You could always find him relaxing in his chair, eyes closed, taking in the solace and peace of his favorite songs.
But Les’ true love, was his wife of 52 years, Rosemary. A love filled with laughter, sarcasm, and adventure. One that was truly theirs alone.
Les left us on May 2, 2021, surrounded by his family. He leaves behind his wife Rosemary, his children Brad (Kristy), Glen (Shauna) and Lynn (Jim). His six grandchildren, Megan, Andrew, Nicolas, Crosby, Sean and Ryan, his brother, Dennis and his sisters, Gail and Florence.
Visitation will be Monday May 10th, 4-7pm at Menke Funeral & Cremation Center.
