Matthew Mims

We were out of the state when Matt died, so we weren't able to be there for the memorial service. Nevertheless, Matt was one of our best friends and favorite brothers.

When I first moved to Akron back in the 1960s, brother Matt took me under his wing. He, along with his pal Preston Lewis, looked after me like I was their own family.

When I was in prison for refusing to go into the army, He and Preston drove all the way up to Lewisburg, Pa to visit me. That visit resulted in...

Matthew was my good friend and I worked with him for over 20 years.....which just disappeared as though it was a few. Amanda, I cannot put into words how I feel, and how you must be with a lifetime of memories that finally completed its course. May Jehovah being him back early on in the resurrection so his life can continue with you by his side, and may Jehovah be with you at this time. Gina Donnenwirth, Akron Ohio

To Tony and the family:
I am sorry to hear of the passing of so great a person. We had many spirited discussions over the years and it has been my privilege to have known him.
God bless the family.
