Preston was a first-class leader, a visionary, and an extraordinarily personable man who loved family, employees and life in general. I only met him twice but was privileged to see the effect he had on those around him. Condolences to his family and all those whose lives were improved by knowing him.

A leader, mentor and friend. With a laugh that would fill a room for days, and not one to mince words he would deliver his message with the utmost grace. I had the joyful honor to work for your Dad and Mom, loved and respected them dearly. My prayers of comfort to all.

The Stringers send their love, and prayers for strength and wonderful memories to your entire family
