John Wesley "J.W." Gaskins

To the Gaskin Family, I was sorry to hear of your lost. To Angela and Keith I am sure you will lean on God for he is the source of strength you need in this your hour of breavement. You have shared several times with me and the encouragement you gave me is now being shared with you. I know God and I know you do too. Mr. Gaskin was a Christian and was prepared for this day and I know this makes it much easier to bear. May God continue to bless and keep you and your family is my prayer. ...

He exhibited a quiet dignity and showed incredible character all through this last great battle. He will never be forgotten, and I'm glad I had the opportunity to know him.

To the Gaskins family...... My heartfelt condolances to you all. Not many days ever went by that I did'nt think about my old buddy J.W...after all he was the first person to ever put a paintbrush in my hand. I'll never forget that as well.JW was truly a great man and extremely thoughtful.JW may be gone but he will always be in my thoughts and prayers,God Bless.

He is resting now.
