To the best neighbors and friends a girl could have, my deepest condolences. I will never forget his kind, gentle, orderly, friendly, & wise way of being. Was always honored and blessed to be a guest at his table. Psalm 56:8
Lifting you up, with much love, asking the Lord for the special consolation and healing that only He can give. Love, Kelly

I am so grateful for his service to his Country and to his Church. His work at Charleston Naval Shipyard and SupShips contributed to the peace and security we have enjoyed in our lifetime. One of the pillars of St. Mattew's has left for Heaven, which will be even better maintained by his presence there.
