I remember my father, Ralph Earnhardt, talking about
Mr. Gaither while they worked in the Cannon Mills Cotton Department. My dad entered the Church Triumphant in 2003, so I bet they are sharing stories about the "old days" at Cannon. My sympathy especially to my classmate, Deborah.
God bless all of you. Mr. Gaither was a blessing.

God is love and he shared that with Mr. Gaither who not only shared it with his family but tought them how to share it with others as he did with the community. I miss you all as you all will miss him but the bible says we will all be together again. Take care and continue to pray.

The old proverb says "It takes a village to raise a child." Mr. Gaither was not only a role model for his children, but also for the young people in our community. We have so many fond memories of Mr. Gaither growing up and he will truly be missed.

I am sadden by the loss of a man I have always admired in the Kannapolis community. He was an excellent role model for many young men who watched him as we grew up in Kannapolis. I only wish that I can live up to the standard that he presented. I am sorry that I can not be there to celebrate his life with his family. My prayers are with you.

When we are happy or when we are blue, God is aware of whatever we do; All of our sorrows He takes as His own--And He will never leave us alone.
God gives us cherished memories. Cling to them during this difficult time.
You have my deepest sympathy.
