Fred's unwavering faith and truly kind and gentle heart were his trademark. He always greeted me with a big smile and was ready every Sunday to sing the old, traditional hymns. His favorite was The Old Rugged Cross, and I will forever remember him each time I sing it with the heroes at McCandless Veterans Home. Thank you to his family for sharing this wonderful man with us. He is missed.

While working at CMHIP in Pueblo, Terrell was working there also as a guard with the hospital police. I was on the 2nd floor in patient accounts and would prepare the deposits to go to the bank. Every once in a while it would be Terrell who would come up to pick up the deposit to take it to the bank. I will miss his smile and quick wit, a lot like his brother Sid, who he is reunited with now in Heaven. May God comfort his wonderful family at this time. Love, Mannon and Sandy Lukehart.
