I am truly sorry to hear about Jasper's death. I worked with Jasper for years in PSR (Green Roof Building) at SCSH and Sunrise/Arbor Place CRCF at CFSH. I met Jasper arriving at the green roof building for an interview. He had to have sensed my nervousness because he had me laughing so hard I was no longer nervous. Jasper was a very sweet and loving person who will be missed. My condolence goes out to his son, sisters, brothers and family.

Mr. Lykes was my 6th grade teacher. He was a great influence to a lot of us at McCrorey-Liston. He left a lasting impression. May God be with you and keep you in perfect peace.
