I am so sorry to hear about your dad. Although I still work in Snow Hill, I am now living in Greenville next to my daughter and just did not get the chance to connect the dots. I actually talked to him a few years ago about business, and you were really all he truly cared to talk about. Yes, he did have a lot to be proud of; you are both students that I remember with great fondness and hope you know that you are in my prayers

I worked with your dad for many years at Dupont, and sat in the cafeteria many a day to hear he and Bob Moore tell their fishing stories. I just learned of his passing today. He was a super guy.

Dalen,
I am so sorry to hear about your dad. I know how close you all are. It is hard to lose a parent. You will always think about him and always want to share things with him. It is important to remember the good times and the things he has taught you. If you ever need a shoulder to cry on or just someone to listen to your memories, I am there.
I love you, Robin

Brenda, Dalen and Dawn, We are so sorry and saddened by the sudden loss of a cousin that was as close as a brother to Edward and a good friend to me. We will always cherish the good times we had together fishing, visiting. When we moved to Hardesty Farm Road, GW came to see us by boat so he wouldn't get his truck dirty on that 3 mile dirt road to our house. He and Jennifer came one time by motocycle too. He always made it a point to stop in or call when he was in Newport. We will miss him so much and each of you are dear to us too and we will continue to remember you in our daily prayers. With all our love for you
