An account has been set up at American National Bank for expenses related to the death of Raymond Vasholz.

Vasholz, 83, died Thursday following an arson fire and burglary in his Florence-area home.

His wife, Elizabeth Vasholz, 76, was severely burned. She was in stable condition Saturday night at St. Elizabeth’s Regional Medical Center in Lincoln.

Donations to the Raymond Vasholz Fund may be dropped off at any American National Bank branch in the Omaha area. Or they may be mailed to the bank’s Florence branch, 3022 Willit St., Omaha, NE 68112.
