You absolutely changed our minds on what old was.....and exemplified hard work and consistency. It was more than a pleasure and a privilege to be your neighbor for the last four years. May you rest in peace, Mr. Banks. You have left behind a beautiful legacy and you will live on in memories and in the love of your family.

I have known Mr. Banks since I was a little girl. Dr. David Holmes and Peggy Holmes are my Aunt and Uncle. Mr.Banks was a very kind and wonderful Christian man and will be missed by many. Anyone who knew him well can tell you what an Amazing soul he had and how loving and generous he was. I regret that I will not be able to attend the funeral, but y'all are in our prayers here in Texas!
Love,
