At that time they retired and moved to Appleton. Preston was a mentor to many, a listening ear to anyone that needed to be heard and a sage advice giver to all that asked. An avid gardener.

Online condolences may be expressed at www.wichmannfargo.com Romans 8:37-39 In all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
You can to the family or in memory of Preston DeHamer.
