To the Family of Gary Lehrkamp,
Please accept my sincerest sympathies on your loss of Gary.
Alf was a beloved member of the Class of 70 at Carroll High School and he shall be missed by many friends and class members. I spent over an hour and a half chatting with him on the phone before our last reunion and we had a lot laughs remembering old times and talking about our memories. I had just Facebooked him a couple of weeks ago about getting together this summer when RAGBRAI went through Carroll. We were thinking of getting a group together to meet up with some that were riding through town. We will drink a toast in his honor if we do.
Sincerely,
Kas Clausen
