David and I are so sorry for your family's loss. Mr. Dollar was a sweet and kind man and we will remember him fondly. He will be missed very much by our church family. We are at our son's house in Greensboro for the weekend, so we won't be able to attend the services, but our prayers will be with you.

My childhood memories all filled with being around this great great man. His smiling face will always be what I remember most ....along with bumbing gum off him at church and sitting next to him when he would snore just a little during service. Rest easy papaw Dollar. Until we meet again.

The first time I heard Mr. Dollar's name was from my dad Clifford Roe. But it wasn't just one time because my dad thought the world of him. I am so sorry for your loss but know he and my dad are talking about cows and border collies in heaven.
