I met Mr. Tranbarger in the early 1980´s during the time him and his wife lived in Greensboro. N.C . My husband and I did yard work for them and he was so nice to us and later on our children would grow up helping. I had lost touch with him and hadn´t talked to him after my phone broke and I no longer had his number but today after church he came on my mind and I searched for his name and the obituary came up and I became lost for words. I do want to give his family my sincere condolences and he will certainly be missed.
