We were so very sorry to hear of Reds passing. Many memories of him at the racetrack. May your memories be of some comfort to you all at this sad time. Godspeed Red. RIP
My heart goes out to Val and the kids. Your memories will help you through this time, and all the years to come. I’m so sorry for all your pain, bless you all Red was loved by many
Sorry to hear of your loss. Really had not seen him since high school but he was a character for sure! I know you all hung out with Bonnie in those younger years!
Sad to hear this. I have many fond meomories of Red, I spent a lot of time with him.
Dearest Seversons:
Please know that even though I am far away my heart is with you all. Memories of the Severson kids have been flooding my mind over the past week. The Cabin; swimming in Kimball lake; Deer hunting; Thanksgiving, and many, many more. Red was 7 months older than me. He was there for my 1st horse encounter: “Oakey is not going to bite you. Just hold your hand flat”. When we were about 9, we polished off a quart of pickles Ramona had just made. Both of us got sick. We were just the Cox and Severson kids playing together. Memories of Red will always be among my happiest.
My sincerest condolences to Val and family, and to the Severson kids: Gary, Sandi, and Ron.
Love from Diane, one of Cox kids.
I’m so sorry and saddened to hear that my dear friend “Red” has gone home. My deepest condolences to you Val and all of the Severson family. I’ll sure miss my hunting partner. God bless you all. Eric Wright.
