My heartfelt sympathy goes to Dub's family. He was the best neighbor ever. My mother lived next door to him prior to her passing in 2000, and my kids and I loved to visit with Mr. and Mrs. Temple when we were in Waco. He was such a kind and good hearted individual, always willing to help my mother and others whenever he could. He will be greatly missed.

I am saddened by the passing of Mr. Temple, he was one of my very favorite people. He use to bring his cat to our clinic and I looked forward to seeing him, he was always so happy and just a fun guy. He will be missed. My thoughts are with the family at this sad time.
Sincerely,
