Add A Condolence

This good soul was the only Tuskegee Airman with whom I ever chatted. We knew one another through the Brotherhood of St. Andrew (brothersandrew.net). A life well lived, well done leading others to Christ.

Make God Forever Be With Your Spirit And Family, And You Enjoy The Fruits Of Heaven And Eternal Love 🙏♥️ 🤍🕊️

Praying for peace and comfort for your family. I still laugh when I think of some of your corny jokes! Enjoy memories of Oscar.

My condolences to the Gadson family. Please find comfort and peace in the love and memories Mr. Gadson provided for more than a century. I will always have fond childhood memories of you and my father Quentin Sr. in the St. Andrew's choir and many other church functions. Rest In Peace 🙏🏼✝️

Our brother in Christ. Rest in peace!

The Brotherhood of Saint Andrew, Saint Andrews Episcopal Church, Tuskegee, Alabama
