Margaret &Shawn, I saw the notice in the Louisville paper the next day of his service. I am so sorry to hear of his death. I will miss his first Christmas card arrival. I treasure the family tree book and all of the works he provided on the FUTRELL family. May God be with him and all of the family.

Andrew, Diane & Bradley Futrell

Mr Futrell was my new neighbor and he always spoke or waved. He certainly will be missed in our neighborhood. Margaret, I am sorry for your loss.
