Mr. Loy was a respected gentleman who lived out his life asking no quarter and giving none. He walked through many deep days that would have tried other men's soul, but he believed in Christ, his fellow man and himself. He was a good friend to my Dad, who has passed, and I came to know him well.

Kay and Sherrie . . . I remember your mom and dad from many years ago. They were both fine people. I still remember what they looked like when we played together as children. I would go visit Aunt Addie and Uncle Tom and we would cross the road to see each other (Kay). Sherrie was older and didn't play with the little kids. lol I am so sorry you have lost your dad, but the did live a long time, didn't he? I lost mom and dad when I was in my 30's. I sure do miss them. I know you will miss him and your mom, too. They had such a pretty place and you girls grew up to be good people like your parents. Please accept my condolances.
