Jimmy, Theresa and MAMA,
To you go our deepest thoughts and prayers for your loss of PAPPY. He will be missed deeply by us as he held a special place in our family, for being there for us when we first moved to NC from NY. Not only did he give me a job, but also helped us get our own place and helped us in every possible way that he could. His sincerity although it came with the grumpyness and that wild smile that he always gave me will never lose its place in my heart and mind. We are truely sorry that we could not make it there to pay our respects,but we will visit soon and make up for it. Jimmy, Theresa and Mamma, stay strong for us all. We love and miss you guys much.

My deepest sympathy on your loss of Gene. I haven't seen either of you in long time but I would ask every time James came until I sold my house last fall how you two were. When I think of him I remember how he would hollow at me when he would see me at Ceramonials in New Bern "Joyce, how are your bugs"? Time heals the pain even though we never forget. I always try to remember the Happy times.

Gene was one of my favorite people in the pest control industry. I will never forget his booming voice and laughter. My thoughts and prayers are with Clarine, Jimmy and Teresa. Thank you for sharing Gene with the rest of us.
