Harold Benjamin Guizlo, 88, passed away on January 7th, 2023 in Newton, Kansas. The service will take place in the Spring of 2023 at a location yet to be identified.

Harold (Bud) was born in Hutchinson Kansas to Harold Perry Guizlo and Mildred Adelia (Barnes) Guizlo on June 12th, 1934. Bud lived in Hutchinson and Wichita Kansas as a child and graduated from East High School in Wichita Kansas in 1952. Bud was an entrepreneur in his youth and had his own gumball machines and route at local businesses which he visited daily to restock the gum and candy. He also repaired cars at home and sold fireworks at his own stand for 4th&nbsp;of July celebrations every year to make money.

Bud was a talented mechanic from a young age, learning from his father. He started working for Boeing after High School and joined the Naval Reserve in 195? so he could pick his branch of the Armed Services to serve his Country.&nbsp; Bud served in active duty on the Navy on the U.S.S. Onslow from 1956 to 1958. After serving in the Navy, he returned to Kansas and continued working for Boeing in Wichita.

Bud and Janice (Clark) Guizlo were married on July 23, 1959, in Wichita Kansas, and are the proud parents of Pamela (Ken) Thompson of Wichita, Steven (Jill) of Burien, Washington, and Mark (Sage), of Mentor, Ohio. Bud and Janice purchased a farm in Harvey County, Kansas and the family moved to the farm in 1968. Bud and family raised beef cattle, wheat, milo, alfalfa, and always had a large garden to share with family. While farming, Bud continued to work as a machinist in the Wichita aircraft industry. The family moved back to Wichita in 1981, and Bud continued to work as a machinist at Boeing until his retirement in 1995. In retirement, Bud enjoyed gardening, house renovation projects, landscaping, Branson music shows, playing golf, and traveling. Bud and Janice split their time between a summer residence in near Estes Park, Colorado, Branson, Missouri, and Wichita.

Robert Henry Helfrich, 73, passed away at his home January 19, 2023, surrounded by his wife and children, after suffering complications during his treatment for Acute Myeloid Leukemia.

Robert was born November 1, 1949, to Henry and Philomene (Bogner) Helfrich, in Spearville, Kansas. Robert graduated from Spearville High School in 1967. He was the quarterback of the football team, center on the basketball team, and pitcher for the baseball team.

He graduated from Fort Hays State University, earning degrees in Physics and Mathematics. He then went on to Kansas State University and graduated with a degree in Computer Science. Robert moved to Hutchinson and spent nearly 30 years with Superior Boilerworks, working his way up from computer programmer to General manager. After it sold, he spent time at Chaparrall Industries, Shield Industries, and AIRGAS. Upon his retirement, he was able to freely enjoy his true passion: cycling. Aside from riding, he became a USA Cycling Official as well as a race promoter.

Later he got the long distance cycling bug. He rode thousands of miles a year, which garnered him the nickname "Bad Bobby". He often rode his bicycle to KSU football games in Manhattan. One of his most exciting trips was when he rode solo to his sister's home near Washington, D.C.

After a cycling career that began in the mid 80's, consisting of racing, promoting, and officiating, he was inducted into the Kansas Cycling Association Hall Of Fame in 2022. He was active in his community as well. He served on the Reno County Vitality Team, working hard to make Hutchinson a safer and more enjoyable place for walking, running and cycling. He volunteered consistently whenever an event was being held.

He loved being a dad. He was actively involved in scouting, helping both sons achieve their Eagle Scout awards. Following 20 years of service to Scouting, he received the Boy Scouts of America District Award of Merit in 2004.

His greatest joy in life was being a grandfather to Ryder and Chase. They created a strong and loving bond. He was always happiest being Papa. He will leave a void in his family and community.
