Sadie

Comfort Dog

My name is Sadie and I am tasked to lighten the mood at one of the most difficult times for families.  I will greet you at the door and give you plenty of love.  If you don't want me around, I will go take a nap in my mom's office.  When I am not working, I enjoy terrorizing my sister, Sophie, napping and going for walks.

Seth Nettleton

Pre-Planning Advisor

My great grandparents on my maternal side came to the Treasure Valley in 1881. My paternal grandparents came in 1907.  I was born in Boise and graduated from Nampa Christian School. I worked for a local business in Boise and Mountain Home for 32 years. Beginning in December of 1999, I started working for the funeral home. In 2001, I became a family services staff member, primarily doing preplanned funerals.

Over the years I have been involved in The Optimist Club, Chamber of Commerce, MADD, Roadway Ministries, My Church, and being a Father and Grandfather. Some of the activities that I enjoy are my family, traveling, hiking, snowmobiling, and motorcycling.

John Rybarczyk (JR)

Funeral Assistant

I was born and raised in Chicago, IL, graduated from Carl Schurz High School and went to Wright Jr. College for two years.  After that time, I took Horace Greeley’s advice to “Go west young man, go west!” I came to visit my brother Paul who was working at the time for Alsip Funeral Chapel and John Alsip.

After serving for two years in the Army in France and Germany, I returned to Nampa and then to Bend, Oregon to start in the newspaper advertising business. After thirty-three years working in California, Oregon, and finishing 13 years as the Advertising Director here in Nampa for the Idaho Press Tribune, I retired.

My wife DyAnn and I have raised six children and now have 18 grandchildren and 2 great grandchildren. I’ve been a life long Cubs fan and my claim to fame is my nephew, John Garland, who currently pitches for the L.A. Angels after eight years and a World Series win with the Chicago White Sox.

I love to play golf and am a member of the Purple Sage Golf Course in Caldwell.
I’ve been a staff member here at Alsip’s since 1999.
