Sugar River Euchre

Submitted by admin on Wed, 01/11/2023 - 8:24am

The one thing I love about our Euchre league is that there is always a player you enjoy playing cards with. I am certain that many of you feel the same way. Sadly, we recently lost three such players in Lyle Fink (July 21, 1936-November 29, 2022), Carlton (Sam) Severson (February 9, 1933-December 29, 2022), and Dean Herfel (September 9, 1959-January 5, 2023). All three were avid Euchre players and a pain in the backside as opponents. But I don’t know of anyone that ever played against them that didn’t enjoy the challenge or their friendship. All three will truly be missed.
