As a child over 52 years ago I was blessed to understand the protection of God's grace and mercy. I pray that you find peace knowing what a blessing and truly amazing servant of God he was and portrayed.
"Listen to me good, now"...he would begin. "If you dip that chainsaw in the dirt, you gonna ruin the chain." Mr."D"and I spent many hours and days cutting, splitting and loading wood for our fireplaces. He was a hard worker and delegator/supervisor, encouraging both of us to get it done. He was a good family man with a loving wife and well bred children,especially a one Miss Gladys. We gonna miss Mr. "D" who sent up enough TIMBERS for his heavenly home. Rest in peace.
Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
