Mr. Febus was one of the "salts of the earth." As one of Linda's college friends I always found a welcome seat at their table and in their home. We ate and laughed a lot together. Linda's mother would always tell her to get out the cough medicine when she got choked from laughter. Please know my thoughts and prayers are with you. This "greatest generation" will never be duplicated again. Each one of its members was and is a treasure. God bless. Clint and Judy Hurdle

We are so sad to hear of Bill's passing. He was a wonderful Christian man. We met often with him and Maxine in our home in Riverton and their home in Buffalo for Bible study back in 1970's. He will be greatly missed and we are sorry we did not get to see him one last time, but will see him in glory soon. Praying for God's comfort for Carl and his family.
