Although I did not know "W. J." personally (but did know of him, in that a second cousin, Richard Nettles, turned his Pontiac-GMC Truck franchise over to him), I thought of him as a very personable fellow. My condolences are with the family.

Frances and Jean, our prayers are with you now. Your daddy and my daddy shared some times! We will miss them both. As Mrs. Annette knows, there was something about those Olanta boys. Enjoy the sweet memories.

I WOULD JUST LIKE TO SAY THAT I THOUGHT A LOT OF MR. JOEL AND IAM TRULEY SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS. ONE MEMORY I HAVE IS WATCHING MR JOEL PLAY CARDS AT PETER BO"S. MR JOEL SHOWED ME A FEW THINGS ABOUT CARD PLAYING, BUT THE ONE LESSON HE TAUGHT ME WAS, DONT PLAY FOR MONEY, JUST PLAY FOR FUN BECAUSE ITS CHEAPER.
IAM TRUELY SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS BUT GOD HAS A MUCH BETTER PLAN.
SINCERELY
