Lois, Brooke, and the Miles family,
I am so sorry for not only your loss, but the loss we all feel since Red has left to be with the Lord. I worked with Red for 18 years and from the first day I met him until the last time I talked with him he made me laugh and I was glad to have the opportunity to work and talk with him every day. He was my right hand man and he taught me alot. Everyday he was fun to be around. I could count on Red for anything,including when I was goofing up, he'd get me straight and that's a full time job! Honesty and integrity was a trait that he possessed and I really respected that about him. Red will live on in our memories and will not be forgotten. God bless you and your family.

We were so sorry to hear about Red. He was always the same no matter when you saw him. He will be truly missed. The motorcycle riders will certainly miss him, but now he is riding like the wind. Time will heal a broken heart, but memories are forever. May God comfort you in your time of sorrow.
