Charles, my condolences on the loss of your father. I have nothing but fond memories of him during my league bowling days in Easley. May God bless his soul.

We have enjoyed having the Stansell's as our neighbors for several years. We will miss seeing Mack out doing his yard work. He always had a neat yard. We enjoyed talking over the fence to him. He will be missed.
