Foxy was a great cook, and a great friend, I will miss him. He had to go see Miss Margret.

Preston was a wonderful person. He was a great father to his children, and others in his family, and a devoted husband to his wife Margaret, and a great caregiver for her for many years.

He was a farmer that loved growing vegetables and sharing with family and loved ones. He was a good cook also, and known far and wide for his barbecue, which we all loved.

It was always a pleasure for Bob and me to visit Preston and Margaret. They were warm, concerning, and caring people. We will miss both of them very much.

Our condolences to Mary, Joanne, and their families. May God richly bless you at this time of grief.

Much love and blessed memories,
