My deepest sympathy to the Glapion Family. I have countless memories of "Papa Glap". He trimmed my first Afro in 1970. I have fond memories of him and my daddy "Mr.Boo" (Roger Houston) talking on the porch. My daddy went home to be with the Lord on July 25 and his Homegoing Celebration was on August 3.
Blessed are they that mourn, for they shall be comforted. (Matthew 5:4)

Peace & Love,
Rev. Deidre Houston, PhD

Carmel & family:

May our God bless Glap's soul as He continues watching over all of you. As Catholics we are taught to believe that God sends His children to live among us to serve His purpose. How blessed we are to have had Glap in our lives. Now that Glap has done God's work here on earth, our risen Lord has taken him back home to await you. Glap will be missed as we all pray for his soul.
