    A beloved man who preached God’s Word without fear or favor... He was always concerned about me driving so far to church by myself...I will always remember the kindness of letting me spend Sunday afternoons with them... rather than drive home and come back for Sunday night service... I learned so much about living a Godly life from him and Christine.
