Our thoughts and prayers are with the family during this time of loss.  May all your good memories help you through this time.   Pat & David Rinn



Sebastian's parents were neighbors of my parents, he also worked at the Rugby Creamery with my Dad & later was at the Haaland together.  He was the friendliest man & whenever we came to visit we had to stop & talk to him.  He usually could be found sitting out in the "hub" visiting. I was sad to hear this Spring that he moved to Minot.  My condolences to his family at this sad time.     Linda Brossart Bartsch
