Therrus will be sadly missed by a lot of people in the Knoxville area. I for one will always remember his being here with a smile. He had a way of making everyone feel comfortable and glad to be in his presence. One of our greatest moments was at the Elks ball several years ago. It was my first time going and he made me feel very special. I'm sure God is happy to have him. Love always Frances.
