AP was a wonderful human being who knew the lord. He never judged people and was always willing to help others. Myself included. I can't believe that I didn't know of his departing this earth until after the service. This man was a pall bearer at my husbands funeral. I am sad for JoAnn and Julian, I know your pain.....God mends broken hearts but he has to have all the pieces.
God be with you in this most difficult time.

Dear JoAnn and J.P.,
I was so sorry to hear of A.P.'s passing. I was in Atlanta visiting my son and his family on Saturday, so I missed the service.
I knew A.P. as the best foreign-car mechanic in town! He used to work on my Mazda. In recent years I connected with him at Bob's Gym. I did not even realize he was ill.
May our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and by His grace gave us eternal encouragement and good hope, encourage your hearts and strengthen you... (2 Thess. 2:16-17)

JoAnn and Family, Very saddened to see this news in the paper last evening. I met AP when he started coming to Mended Heart meetings. He was indeed a wonderful man and so full of all the great things that a person can be. Know that he will be missed.

Lets all raise our glasses and have a moment of silence, followed by a toast for one of the greatest men to walk on the face of this earth. (Whom without I would have nothing). A person who's guidance and knowledge has enabled many to achieve great things. A person who will truly be missed and never forgotten.
Rest in Peace A.P

Dear JoAnn and J.P.
I'm saddend by your loss, A.P. taught me many things his kindness and his knowledge of the disabled. How to help them and how to better their daily lives. I learned to use this as my mom became disabled after her stroke and I could refer back to something A.P. had told me. He will be missed and I'm grateful he passsed thru my life.
Love and Blessings, Judy & Rick Gates
