"Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning." To Angie and the entire family. Your Dad was a humble, gentle giant. I have many memories of him being an integral part of our Macedonia church family- from being a very active deacon, a member of the choir and as leading our sports program for our young men. Remember the legacy he left. Look to God for continued strength.
