A great and wonderful voice has been silenced. Mr. Asbury always greeted you with a warm, friendly and sincere smile. He was always by the side of his lovely wife Doris in her many events. Will seem strange not seeing him by her side with his wonderful smile. Our heartfelt sympathy to Mrs. Doris and the entire Asbury family. Thanks for the memories. Rest in Heaven our good friend.
