We were saddened to learn of Mr. Sneed' s passing this week. Our family lives two doors down from him but have never been formally introduced. I met him for the first time a little over a week ago and he was very kind and friendly to me as I worked on a fence bordering his property. We found out that he and I both played golf and he asked me to call him anytime and he would play. May God bless his life and bring piece to his family during this sad time.
