Not sure what to say?





I was so sorry to hear about your loss. I have sweet memories of him at church at FUPC in town here. My uncle had passed away and I had to be with my mom that night or I would have come by there. It's been a sad week and weekend but God will see us all through it. I am praying for you all for God to give you peace, comfort and strength.

Tim, may God be with you and your family during this time of loss. I remember your dad always being at our high-school baseball games and at the ball park in general. I also had the pleasure of seeing him at Oakwood where my mother also stayed until she passed. Your family is in our prayers.- Keith Tucker & family

Mr. Chriswell was one of the nicest, friendliest, and kindest man you would ever want to meet. I never met him anywhere that he didn't have a kind word to say. The world is at a loss for losing this man. But heaven gained some to help lead the youth baseball and give some tips for a lineup. My heart goes out to the family and prayers that God help in the healing process of his family and friends fe left behind.

I was suppose to be Don's supervisor, but I believe in actually he was my supervisor. Don is the most pleasant person I have met to this date. He will be in my memories till the day, hopefully, we meet again.
