Sandy and family, So very sorry to hear of the passing of your father. He was always such a great guy and fun to be around. Always had a smile and a positive thing to say ! He was such a great blessing to my father when my mother died! He got dad out of the house and playing golf again. Your father was the best Sunday School teacher I ever had and I am grateful to him. Praying you will have peace knowing that he is having a wonderful time in heaven, and praying that you will find peace and coping in the days and months to come. Much Love, Lisa Gillian Simmons and the rest of the Gillian clan.

A fixture throughout my life, starting at church. He was so kind and remained in contact with my parents, visiting them throughout Moms illness. Continued visits with Daddy until his death in 2015. Kind, respectful and respected man
