I am David Rose of the Shelby (NC) Roses. Both sides of my family, Beauchamps & Roses, belonged to and attended the Wesleyan Church in Gastonia(The Lighthouse on the Corner). I met the Huffstetlers as a child (now 80) and we got to the members children and became friends.Hibby was always so cordial and the photo of him that was used in his obit is pretty close to how he always was, a big smile on his face. I have such wonderful memories of that church and the members there. Hib Sr and Grace at the organ, So very sorry for Hibbys' passing. He was a great person.
