" As many of you are aware, the Grange lost a    good friend and hard worker with the passing of Alden Ives. Alden was instrumental in the running and success of the Grange Credit Union as well as his outstanding leadership of the Patrons Group and Patrons Mutual Insurance Company. I have had the honor of knowing Alden and working with him for most of my life and will truly miss a good friend. To Jan and their family our sincerest sympathy. "
