Read More	Clifford Lee Rediger, 89, passed away Monday, March 4, at the Golden Living Center with his beloved wife, Velda, at his side. Clif was born July 16, 1923 in Milford, Neb. to Christian and Magdalena Rediger; the eighth child of thirteen children. In September of that year the family moved to a farm in the Ree Hills, southwest of Miller, SD. Clif attended school through the eighth grade, but because help was needed on the farm he was unable to continue. He always regretted being unable to get his high school diploma and one of his desires was for his children to finish high school and if possible attend college, which they did. For a short time he also went to Montana and worked as a ranch hand. Clif joined the US Navy and served briefly in WW II. He was honorably discharged from the Navy in 1946. On Oct 14th, 1948 he married the love of his life, Velda Kost and together they had four children. They raised their children while farming and ranching southwest of Miller. Clif and Velda retired from ranching in 1984 and moved to a home overlooking the river in Ft Pierre. When he was not fishing on the river himself, he was often watching the number of fishing boats and hoping the fishermen saved a few fish for him! Anyone who knew Clif - knew of his passion for fishing: winter, summer, spring, fall and all other seasons!! In retirement in Ft. Pierre, he remained active, greatly enjoying working for the Beastrom's cattle ranch. In addition to his great passion for fishing, he enjoyed playing cards both in Miller, and for twenty some years after moving to Ft. Pierre, Clif and Velda continued to meet frequently with friends from Miller to play cards. He also enjoyed hunting, meeting his buddies for coffee and dancing. He was an active member of the VFW and volunteered often driving the VFW van to Sturgis. He was a member of Trinity Lutheran Church in Miller, serving on several boards. In Pierre, he was an active member of Faith Lutheran Church and served in various areas of ministry. One of the recent highlights of his life was going to Washington, DC with the Honor Flight three years ago to see the WWII memorial. Clif is survived by his loving wife of 64 years, Velda; their three children and spouses, Sonya and Duane Yager of Missoula, Mt; Corliss and Ben Wyatt of Aurora, Co.; and, Russell and Donna of Germany. He is also survived by several grandchildren, Jason and Melinda Yager of Manhattan, Mt; Kevin and Karina Yager of Bozeman, Mt; Robbyn Yager of Bozeman, Mt; Jared Wyatt and Michael Collier of Calgary, Canada; and, Tech Sargent Jeffrey and Vanessa Wyatt of Nevada. He is also survived by great-grandchildren Sofia, Rebekah, Clara, Laurel and Katherine Yager, and Mother-in-law, Annette Kost of Pierre.
