Good bye old friend. I sure will miss you. You always had a smile and a friendly hello every time I saw you. Glad my daughter and I got to see you and Judy at West Jefferson. You were one of the finest and best friends a man could have. Maybe I’ll see you one day. Judy I know this is a great loss for you. He was a very fine man. A friend always Jack.
A kind, humble man of God! He served diligently and lovingly at Pisgah. He was there for everyone, especially a family member before he passed from cancer. He visited me during my hospitalization and comforted and uplifted me. He preached humbly and from the heart . I know he is with our Lord and Savior. Prayers for Judy and family.
