I work at DOT and knew Letcher a long time seeing him all over Western NC ,; his work was always excellent and so was his demeanor. I am sorry for your loss , but know that Letcher had gained a lot of respect for taking pride in his work.; a trait that many people admire.
We are sorry for your loss.
Please accept my sincere sympathy for the loss of your loved one. May your cherished memories and the warmth of family and friends help ease the pain of your loss. Jehovah God is the source of all comfort (1Cor.1:3,4) and he gives you the comfort and strength you need during your time of grief. The scriptures tell us at John 5:28,29 that soon the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out.
