Not sure what to say?

I believe it was 1987 when I invited Abner to Rockledge, Florida to view and inspect a former operating roof truss manufacturing plant, now closed. Abner liked the property and surrounding buildings and opened it up and begin operations shortly thereafter. He kept it in operation for several years until the economy soured around 2006/07. I remember it was just Abner and I who began setting up the plant initially, with some truss machinery I sold him from a nation-wide Truss Systems...

I just heard about Abner's homegoing. Esther, you and Abner have always been a tremendous blessing to my ministry and to me personally. He will be greatly missed. He was a great man of God who changed many lives all over the world.

My prayers are with you and your family.

Love,

Dear Abner Yoder Family,

Please accept our sincerest condolences concerning the absence of Abner. We will remember him as a true gentleman and Christian brother and friend. We very much look forward to our re-acquaintance with him in heaven.

My wife Candy and I are praying for you all and are touched by your loss. Abner Yoder was a great example of a Godly man and faithful steward in the Kingdom of God. We are blessed to have had him not only visit our Church along with his loving wife Esther but also generously bless us with the trusses to build our building. We are praying for all of his family for today and for the days ahead to experience the comfort, strength, and peace that only God's Spirit can give.

You made a difference. Rest in peace.

Dear Yoder Family,

We are so sorry to hear about your loss. Abner was truly a man full of the love of God and incredibly loved by all who knew him. Our love and prayers are with you all.

Mr Yoder was such an influence on us in our early years at Faith Family. He took the time to get to know our hearts and share his heart with us. I treasure the times that he and Esther opened their home to our family and the many years they opened their home for children's ministry dinners for us. (I tell so many people about that expandable table he had made.) He has left a powerful legacy! We are blessed to know the Yoder family.

A true friend and inspiration......and very funny too! Laurie, David, James, Thomas and i will miss him. Much Love to the family.

My father, John Mancini, and Abner were very good friends. After he retired Abner wanted him to work for him.Both families attended Bethel Temple for a long time.He always spoke well of him as an honest, generous kind thoughtful Sharp businessman entrepreneur AND above all else dedicated committed lover of Christ family man. He is a Man we could all admire. Take heart Yoder Family we will all see him again in heaven. We can thank our Moms and Dads for that great legacy.
