Wade was such a delightful man. My mother's home was furnished from Clapp Brothers and my current bedroom and office are filled with pieces I purchased from him. He was wonderful to my family.
Our heartfelt sympathy to you and his family.

Brenda,

My thoughts and prayers are with you. Not sure what the instance was, but I remember going with Mom over to your place when y'all first started dating- (I'm sure it was furniture related) but I remember you both being so very happy together. That memory never left me. Funny as a young person that was so impressionable, but it was. Wade was a very kind man - he sold me my first couch and may I add - I had it for some 15+ years! I pray God comforts you all during this time.
