Reverend Vincent Paul Joyner

The Tire Plant is now gone so are you, but lasting memories of you both still live with me...miss you my ol friend...

My loving brother, it's been fifteen years since you have departed from this world and entered the relms of our many ancestors. Today I was reminded that you are not here, opening the floodgates of emotions and memories as I read through the many comments of the lives that you touched and inspired. I'm reminded that there is a torchlight, a guiding light that you and the brothers left for the family to carry on together to strengthen its foundation. I'm reminded that no matter how difficult...

Today I was reminded that your guest book will expire in a few days and I began to read the thoughts of those that you touched and inspired, the first being August 28,2006 and the last being August 30, 2009. It appears that the visits to your guest book have slowed down,but your inspiration is still strong. I still meet people that have told me how they knew you and how you inspired them.I'm sure there are those that come here to reflect without writing.I know from experience because words...

It's still ruff for me. But I know what you would have wanted. God is good and you taught me well.

Much love Cuz! I was recently back in Decatur and at Bright Morning Star Church, the last place we shared a smile and time after church. Thank you again for being such a man your younger cousin could look up to and admire.

V. not a day goes by that i do not think of you and everything you done while here on earth and everyone that you touched. I wish I would have gotten to know you better in the Lord, but, you made an impact in my life and i live for the Almighty God everyday and pray for my family and even my enemies...miss you Vincent...

Thank you for all that you taught us. It will never be forgotten, nor will you.
