I grew up at Main St Methodist. I always considered your dad as one of the real role models in the church. He was a wonder 5th grade Sunday School Teacher. I never forgot his gentle yet firm style when I taught Sunday School. So many wonderful memories of him. My mom and dad always had the highest regurad for him and you mom. My only solace is that I know I will see him again some day, Yes, he helped me with that too.

My condolences,
