  12. Ray and Charles,

    I was deeply saddened to hear of the death of your dad. He was a great guy. I always enjoyed visiting with him at your shop in Biltmore. He was a wise and interesting man.

    I just learned of his passing at 12 noon on Thursday. I will not be able to make it to the funeral but my thoughts and prayers will be with you today.

  17. Junior was such a support for my wife and me when we moved to Brucemont Circle. He and Elma always offered a word of encouragement and said ‘hello’ when we came home from work or were outside. Since our families live in other states, it was nice to know someone was looking out for you. We pray God’s peace on all his family. We are thankful we got to know him these last 18 months.
