Rebecca,

Me and Jessie just heard about Eulie passing away and want to let you know how sorry we are.We have missed seeing him around the store for several years now but we know your loss is much greater.He was a great man and will be missed dearly.He left behind some great memories to both of us.I can remember just as a little girl my daddy taking me to the store and Eulie would always say go over there girl and get you some candy.I never walked out of the store empty handed he made sure of that.Jessie remembers Eulie helping him get his first trailer to start his lawncare business with.He let Jessie make very small monthly payments on it.We owe him alot.He helped us in so many ways as Jessie went through his own battle with cancer.We will never forget his kindness and will always hold these great memories in our hearts.

Mrs. Faircloth,
I am sorry to hear of Mr. Faircloth's passing. Your family has known mine, I'm sure, during the entire time that you all owned the store - for many decades. As a little boy I remember going to the store with my grandfather George to get ice cream sandwiches. He would always buy two - one for me and one for him and his dog Otto to share! As I grew older I would stop in for fuel for the lawnmowers, and later for fuel for my own vehicle. I will always remember Mr. Faircloth for being such a kind and caring person. The memories I have of visiting you both at the store will stay with me forever. Losing Mr. Faircloth, for me, is like losing a pillar of the community - someone I always looked up to. I'll hold my memories of him close to my heart always.

Rebecca, I am so sorry to hear about Eulie. I just read the obituary on the computer today. If I can do anything for you please let me know. He was from the old school and was always polite and kind. Tammy

Hello Becky. Sorry to hear about Eulie. You may not remember me but I delivered Coca Cola to you guys in the late 70's early 80's.I ran that route several years and loved the competition with you and Dale Richardson.Hated sorting the bottles though. Passed by the store a few times and wish I had stopped to see you guys. Thanks for the memories of the good old route days out there.Our prayers are with you all.
