Thinking of the family during this tragic accident.
I grew up walking to Union Baptist on Saturday mornings with Nolan, Roy, and Tina and others with Mrs. Cox and her switch, which she put on me because I was afraid of the Gay Street bridge.
I also worked at Tokheim with Nolan. He was a nice quiet guy,who had a great pair of parents. May Jehovah God always be your guide.
With deepest sympathy.
