Alfred Egbers obit
« on: June 09, 2014, 09:44:34 AM »
Alfred Egbers of rural Hooper, NE died Friday.  His service is this Wednesday at 1:00 pm in the Uehling, NE auditorium. 

Anyone who ever visited the Egbers' will never forget the experience.  Besides being a working business, the place is a museum of farm & metal shop technologies from the past century & a half.

( http://fremonttribune.com/news/local/obituaries/alfred-egbers/article_a2e510d4-8eab-5554-80c8-748473fdfecf.html ) is the obit in the Fremont, NE TRIBUNE.

sorry to hear that Alfred passed away.

he always advertised grade one plow handles in the Farm Collector magazine and I had bought about four sets from him in the past, always prompt in his shipping and a good set of handles.

even though I had never met him, I was impressed with his work.

Another long time tool guy gone. Sad.

He was about 20 miles from me.   He had several buildings full of tools, almost as interesting as talking to him.   He will be missed.
