“Today a great man passed
And in God’s hands he flew
With many hearts grieving
from all he loved and knew
The tears may fill the rivers
The cries will fill the air
from all the ones that loved him
And all the ones that cared
Today God gained an Angel
to stand right by his side
and when God calls us
hand in hand together we will fly.” Written by his beloved daughter, Nancy McClure.
A memorial service will be held Saturday, February 18, 2017 at the Bethel Baptist Church in Spurlockville, WV.
