There is not a day that goes by Pa that you are not thought of and missed greatly. I love you and appreciate you for all you did for me throughout the years to help me become the person I am today. You loved me as your own son and taught me how to live life more patiently. I pray that I may be the father to my children that you were to me and a friend to my neighbors like you have been. Love you forever, Tim

David , so sorry to hear of Lucy's passing. Spent many hours enjoying working with him. Can still hear his donkey bra echoing through the Lab building. He was a true friend and fellow worker.

Wonderful man. Godly, kind, and wise. He always made you feel welcome in his home as did his sweet wife, Willa Dean. Our loss is heaven's gain, but finding men like him to lead our churches will be very hard.

A big loss. Family friend ship that goes back 50 years. When he used to come out to the office had conversations about his friendship with my dad and it was great to hear the stories. It was always great seeing him. Praying for comfort during this great time of loss
