Services will be at 11 a.m. Thursday at Horner-Lieske-Horner Mortuary in Kearney with the Rev. Dean Pofahl officiating. Graveside services will be at 1 p.m. Friday at Exeter (Neb.) Cemetery. Visitation will be before service time Thursday at the funeral home. He was born June 1, 1911, in David City to Frank and Antonia (Kovar) Styskal. On Feb. 14, 1934, he married Helen Zwieg in Belleville, Kan. She preceded him in death. Survivors include his daughters, Ramona of Denver and Linoma Gragson of Honolulu; and brother, Fred of Exeter. Additional survivors include his sons-in-law, Nick Weighton of Denver and Gary Gragson of Honolulu; eight nieces and nephews; and his extended family of neighbors and friends. He loved his cat, Muffin. He graduated from Exeter High School in 1929. After the attack on Pearl Harbor, he enlisted in the U.S. Navy and served for the remainder of World War II. After moving to Kearney in 1945, he worked as a brick mason. His skills can be seen in public buildings and private homes throughout the Kearney area. After a hard day's work, he loved to shoot a few games of pool. He was known to wager a dollar or two on the outcome and, after he retired, he referred to the pool room as his "office." He was always tinkering, fascinated by all things mechanical. Someone else's trash was his treasure, and he delighted in making something useful out of scrap. He was an active member of Kearney Elks Lodge 984, Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 759 and American Legion Post 52. He always enjoyed socializing with friends and participating in bingo, Beer & Burger and other activities. He always had room for popcorn and ice cream. He was a loyal and loving husband throughout nearly 70 years of marriage. He and his wife used to gather with friends and dance every chance they got. They regularly traveled to visit their daughters in Denver and Honolulu, as well as taking other family vacations. After his wife suffered a stroke in 1999, he was by her side daily at St. John's Good Samaritan Center until her death four years later. He was a simple man, hard working and honest, and he loved people. His wife always said that every stage of life had its pleasures, and he enjoyed them all. He lived in the moment enjoying each one. He did not look back with regret or forward with dread. In addition to his wife, he was preceded in death by his parents and a brother, William. Memorials are suggested to Good Samaritan Hospital Foundation. A message of condolence, tribute or memory can be left at www.hlhmortuary.com.
