Linster was always a kind and gentle person. I have many fond memories of him going back to the fifth grade at James W. Smith Elementary School in 1988. Our paths did not cross often, but it was always good to see him and exchange a warm greeting. My heart is heavy this evening after reading of his death. The graduating class of 1996 from West Craven High School was very close and we have now lost another beloved classmate from our ranks. Heaven is a little bit brighter because he's there and Linster is rejoicing, as he has now seen our savior face to face. I pray that God gives the family His peace that surpasses all understanding. Farewell, Linster We'll miss you, but we'll never forget you. Dr. Ervin Patrick
