When the service station was under construction, I climbed a ladder onto the roof. And your dad gave me my first job there after I graduated from high school. When I was in charge of a shift, your mom complimented us for pumping 1,000 gallons for the day! They were wonderful to work for. And your mom taught us math in 8th grade. We lived near the Labars on Main Street, so we greeted Caddie frequently on his visits there. I know you celebrate his life, and hers, with deep gratitude. May God bless you as you keep them always in your hearts.

My heart goes out to entire family. It is very hard to lose a loved one and particularly at this time of the year. I remember going there with my dad for fishing supplies and now for my car repairs. He was such a kind, caring man. Everyone who knew him loved him.
God Bless You All.

Tim,Donnie, Ruthie, Linda and Larry, My sympathies to your family. The Labar family name and businesses have been iconic throughout the Dallas area for years. My mom first introduced me to Linda when she had her beauty salon. Tim's son was in the cub scout pack with my boys for a few years. I later met Ruthie as my cousin's neighbor and then to fellowship with her, Donnie and Larry at Cross Creek. I've been in the store a few times over the years, but didn't get to know your father on a personal level. However, knowing his children, I can sense he was a pleasant, God-fearing man. The greatest compliment any parent can have is reflected by their children.May you find comfort in the Lord during this time.
