Ossie T. Shackelford

Doug and June,
I just read about your father in the Snow Hill paper. My heart goes out to you and your family.
My family lived around the corner from you on Dubose Drive in Kinston. My parents, Ira Ray Ham and Kyria Bunn Ham had Mr. Ossie do their taxes when they were living. Then I would go to his office with my grandmother, Metta Darden, and brother, Ray 'Sonny' Ham. Mr. Ossie was always such a nice, friendly, Christian man. You guys were blessed with such great parents. Let...

May God bless you, comfort you, and give you peace at this time. Ossie performed the audit and other services for the North Carolina State Firemen's Association when I served on the Board of Directors for the organization. His knowledge, friendship, and general demeanor was very valuable and very much appreciated by me. I pray you find comfort knowing he is in a much better place with Jesus.

To Mr. Ossie Family,
My heart and prayers are with you on the loss of your Dad. Mr. Ossie was a good Christian man and good to everyone. He was my accountant since back in the 1970's. Mr. Ossie helped me in learning to deal with life through the Christian values. Thank you for sharing your Dad, and may GOD give you all the strength needed at this time. Love in CHRIST.

Ireland and I are very sorry to learn of the passing of Ossie. Ossie was my first cousin and I always admired him very much. Our condolences to Hope and family and to Doug, June and their families.

Doug & June, what a wonderful legacy your parents left to you, your families and all who knew and loved them so dearly. Love, The Bobby Gibson family Red Springs, NC

Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Ossie was my parents' accountant and then ours and his knowledge and compassion were very comforting when someone in our family died. We were so sorry to hear of his death.

To the family: We were saddened to hear of Ossie's passing. We were neighbors and friends back in Lenoir County as we were growing up. And he was such a help and blessing when I lost my parents. Please know that all of you are in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
