Uncle Ance, was a one of a kind!
My favorite story is when I was about 9 and had just started to rodeo. I was visiting aunt Thelma and Ance in Elk Mountain. Ance took me up on the mountain on an old logging road. When we came to a mountain pasture there were 5 or 6 horses used to pull the cut timber to the road. The horses were huge! Ance said that we were going to put my bareback rigging on the black horse. I looked at him and his face was as seriously as could be. I said OK uncle Ance....

I was a close friend of Gayla's in the late 80's while attending college. Please give her my condolences and my condolences to your whole family. Blessings, Wesley Worden

Please know we are keeping your family in our prayers. We spent many a fun evening square dancing with Anse & Thelma in Elk Mtn. He will be missed my many.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. Keeping you all, in our thoughts and prayers.
Chuck & Paula Zavorka

One of the nicest people I’ve ever known! Thelma, Tracy, Rod and Gayla, Condolences to you all!
