We met in 1964 training for a 2 year program with the Methodist Church in Nashville. All the years that have passed since then have not let me forget knowing such a lovable, caring, humorous and faithful person as he was. My heart goes out to Rosemary and the children.

Dear Rosemary and family,
We are so saddened in the departure of the most humble caring and gentle person we have ever met!! He will be remembered by us forever for we feel very honored to be called one of his friends from Bethel. We will keep you and your family in our weekly prayers and candle lighting ritual.
Warmly, Marta and Lex Hampton

PS- I will never forget his exemplary role model as a missionary to Ecuador with Rev Warren on Bethel's first mission trip! Great memories!
