Red will be missed. Avery Elementary students will always remember him as "Zero the Hero". He always had a loving smile and great outlook on life.
RIP Red

A true inspiration to me as a Christian. Red was a man who not only talked the talk but walked the walk every day of his life as a Christian. I can only strive to duplicate his walk. I am sorry I was never able to let him know what an inspiration he was to me. I hope that when I get to Heaven he is one of the first people I see so I can let him know that because of the example he set is one of the big reasons I am there beside him. Thank you for being the man you were.
