Bro. Pringle:



What a great inspiration you have been to our family for many years. We are thankful for the opportunity God has given us to be a part of your life and your ministry. It is impossible to put into words the sorrow that we feel by losing you, but we have peace knowing that you are with the Lord.



One day we will see you again and "Heaven will surely be worth it all".



We love you, Papa.

Bro. Pringle has greatly influenced my life and that of my whole family for our whole lives. He was the one we called for prayer, the one we all depended on for guidance and spiritual counsel. I worked with and for him for 17 years, and greatly appreciated everything he did for me and my family through the 37 years he was in our lives. My father and mother both loved and greatly respected him and taught us all to do the same. We will all have to pull ourselves up by our own boot-straps now - He has taught us all well - in word and example.

Papa,

It's a strange feeling being without you. No more knocking on the wall. No more lights flickering on and off. No more going to see the peaches and the pears or the nassy water and the ceen water. I will miss you more than I thought was possible. Every morning I look at a picture I have of you and you're smiling and I know that next time I see you, you'll be smiling. No more pain or suffering. Only rest.

I love you, Papa!

Love, Veronica a.k.a Baby My Love, Gonk, GakGak :)

Daddy,

You were tough and hard to please, but we had a love and understanding that no one else could even begin to appreciate.

I know that you are much happier. There's no more pain and no more tears. Someday, I hope to see you again and to hear you sing "Somewhere Over the Rainbow", like you did when I was a little girl.

My girls will always remember their Papa as a great man.

I love you, Daddy.

Sweet Dreams,

Your Lady Love

I was saddened to hear about Bro. Pringle's passing. During my teenage years, I attended the Bible School and learned much of what I know about the Scriptures from him. I know his family is grieving, but they can rest assured that Bro. Pringle is at peace with the Father.

The Lord gave, and the Lord has taken away; we miss Bro. Pringle greatly, and for the rest of our lives not a day will go by without the memory of his merry heart, his indomitable spirit, and his unfailing charity inspiring and encouraging us, in thought, in word, and in deed.



Our life's work remains committed to continuing that great ministry for which he spent himself; and his passing away has only filled us with determination and resolve, to make doubly sure that none of his labors and prayers and expectations for us will have been in vain.

When I heard the news on July 4, 2002 it saddend me greatly, but when I saw you today motionless,it hit me. I cried, as did many that were there to see you today, but I/we know only the physical has left this world, and you have left us with much to remember you by. I've known you since I was a little girl, you called me your D.D. (delicate delinquent), I will never forget how you teased me about that one, but we both knew what was meant by it. I will miss you greatly, but I know you are much happier. My prayers are now with your family and loved ones. Again, thank you for everything, your love, your word, your example, even the rebuktion. I love you Papa!

You are the greatest man we have ever known and our family will greatly miss him. He was our Papa and dearest friend. Words will never express the empty feeling that has been left but we know where Papa is and by Gods grace one day will meet him in heaven.

We can't express what we feel for this great "man of God" in just a few sentences. His love, prayers and daily example of Christian living has left a legacy many will remember forever. We will miss him greatly.
