My condolences to the family. I recall the times I would stop by to see Mr. Epps at his workspace at TextronLycoming. He always had advice and encouraging words to share with me.

To The Family: The Bember family sends their love, Our pray for you all is that you always remember that God is calling all his Angels home for rest.He created us and doesn't want us to suffer down here ,so he calls us home for eternal rest, peace, and a new body that will no longer suffer with pain,because, he loves us that much.In the days to come reflect on the goods times, all that he taught you, funny/witty remarks, warm, giving and caring spirit,most of all remember he taught you how to pray and give thanks to God in the good and bad times. The way our family will always remember him is that he loved God and his family.

Sad to hear of Preston's passing. I enjoyed having him pass through my life. It's been a number of years since I spent time with him. He worked for me at Fairfield Executive Livery. He was such a positive individual. Always one to depend on.
God bless him with a special place among the other saints.
