John Haden Hiltbrand passed away peacefully on July 3, 2026.

John served as a commissioned officer in the United States Navy, retiring as a captain after 25 years of service. His obituary paints a picture of a life well-lived.

Breakfast and Bridge Unit Game Saturday, July 18
From Carole Schmitz:

OK bridge players, it’s that time of the month again where you can come have breakfast and then play bridge.

YES! It’s the monthly Unit game where breakfast will be on the table by 9 a.m. and bridge will start at 9:30. The food is great and the bridge is fun – so come spend part of your Saturday with us.

Hope to see you there,

Carole
