I had even worried about Ben, and was very sad to find out that my worries were not unfounded. Ben was always special to me, very helpful in getting my sport psychology golf career going, to include arranging for my first appearance on then ESPN's "Inside the PGA Tour." Without his imprimatur, neither the first nor the next nine appearances would have happened. He was very kind to invite me to his house a couple of times, and we also went out to lunch. i say all this to let you know how kind and helpful he was to the little guys in the golf profession, not just to his esteemed colleagues. Thanks, Ben, and I hope to see you again on the other side.

I remember growing up hearing him sing. My mother grew up with him, he was such a loving caring man. My prayers are with you.

Family, you all are in my thoughts and my prayers. Heaven gained a most special man. He's teaching the angels to sing.

Dear family So sorry to hear about Bro. Bill. He will be greatly missed, but know he is rejoicing with His Savior he dearly loved. Our thoughts and prayers go out to each of you. Love you all. Rev. Steve and Freida Bishop

The world is a better place because Mona was in it, and I am a better person because Mona was my friend. Mona's infectious smile could light up a room in an instant, and her laugh was a spark of joy to all. She was always up for a new adventure, and I count myself lucky to have gone on several journeys with her. One of the most memorable being a Christmas break trip to Miami (which turned into months) when I was 16 and she was 18! We had many fun memories during our teen years, and I was fortunate to reconnect with her during the last 10 years, when we were able to enjoy many more fun times. During our monthly "girl's night out", one of her topics of discussion, always included her children. Mona was a wonderful mother who loved Maren and Andrew tremendously, and she was extremely proud of them both. I would like to send my love and sincere condolences to them and the rest of Mona's cherished family. Rest In Peace my dear friend.

Back in our Hialeah High School Days I remember Theresa as lovely, fun and full of personality. My condolences to all of her family for their great loss.

Ben was born to talk and was a great golf announcer on CBS. He had an incredible voice that had meaning, like Winston Churchill or Basil Rathbone that made people listen. His Oxford accent, always without script, and his unmatched vocabulary allowed him to say what he thought off the cuff without regard to anyone. The game of golf was denied his talents for the last 20 years because of a riff with CBS but Ben Wright was THE best voice in golf as captured in the movie Tin Cup and in past Masters replays. He will be remembered whispering under the pines at Augusta, his moment under the sun.

Bill was a true example of a godly man. The way he sang, testified and prayed was so uplifting. Heaven is getting sweeter every day. Praying that God's comfort and peace will surround each of you.

Prayers for the entire family. Bill will be missed here on earth. I'm sure he is with Carly now. Bill has taught me so much over the years. Such a great Christian man. Love you all.

A good man that is a treasure to those of us that grew up listening to him sing. Part of my life for more than 50 yrs. He has crossed that river.

Freida, Debbie, Misty and family, Donna and I are saddened to learn of Bill's death. He always seemed to have a positive attitude and was a pleasure to be around. He was so proud of his family, and his love of God and you was so special. Truly a unique guy that will be missed by so many. All of you are in our prayers during this heartbreaking time. Dr. John and Donna Crawford

Freida, Misty, Debbie and family. We are so sorry to hear about Bill. We loved him dearly, he was always smiling. He was a awesome person in more ways than one, a Godly man and such a witness. May the Lord give you all great comfort during this time but rejoice in knowing what a time he is having now with that precious Carly, other loved ones and especially the time he is now having with his Lord and Savior. We love you all. What a Great Homecoming That Will Be.

Bill Creasman was a light unto others and an inspiration to me. I will miss him but I know he is present with the Lord. May God bless his family and give them strength and grace in the upcoming days. My deepest condolences.❤️

Bill, was one gracious man to our family. “May you take comfort in loving memory and the friends and family that surround you.” “May the pain you feel now be nothing compared to joy found within the memories of (Bill) We can't express how much we loved and cherished (Bill). Our deepest condolences for your loss.”

Dr Rymer was a favorite professor while I was a student at Fruitland in the mid 90’s. His story of how a Boy Scout rescued him from quicksand and brought him to him mother is one of the most beautiful examples of grace I’ve ever heard. He was a true man of God, and he will be sorely missed.

When I think of Bill ,”I think of his love for God and others! “ His beautiful voice singing with his Family! I enjoyed all the years we attended church together. Praying for all the family and friends! May God give you’ll the Peace beyond all understanding! Praise God we will see Bill again! Love to all! ❤️

I forgot to mention that all who knew Theresa called her by Terry.

Of all our summer vacations in Philadelphia & Upstate NY. Memories of boyfriends she liked in Philadelphia (i.e., Lester). Our trip in a rented convertible to Rhode Island to see all the Syrian relatives. She was such a beautiful person and so much a lady. I will miss my dear cousin greatly.

Praying for God's comfort and peace for all the family. Brother Bill was a blessing to so many as he journeyed through life on this earth. He was an inspiration to me and he will surely be missed. May God bless you and strengthen you in the days ahead.

Praying for each of you. Our Savior to comfort during this time. Love and prayers always!!! Love Connie jackson

A real definition of LOVE is Bill Creasman. A Godly, giant of a man is now at the Feet of Jesus, listening at every Word being spoken.

So sorry to hear of the passing of George, He always had that big smile on his face and always had something funny to say. He was a great person to work with. Elaine, Angie and Lindsey our thoughts and prayers are with you. May God put his loving arms of comfort around you at this difficult time. We love you all. Shelia & Stanley

We surly loved Mr. Bill and will miss him greatly. But Heaven was just made sweeter by his presence. And I believe he and Miss Carly have already hugged each other in their perfect bodies. And I believe he has seen his savior Face to Face.Freida, Debbie, Misty and all the family we love you all and continued prayers as you adjust to these next days and weeks. May our Lord give you comfort and peace and Grace.

Linda was such an inspiration to me. Right before she left us to live in God's mansion, she taught me a lesson: Live to do what you love to do, and in humility and love, you will make a positive impact where you least expect it.

Linda and I made music together at Fletcher Elementary for many years. She directed the chorus and I did the Orff Ensemble. What wonderful memories I have of "The Lion Sleeps Tonight," "Yellow Submarine," and "Count On Me." I could always count on Linda as a friend and co-worker who loved all children and gave them her best. I miss making music with you Linda, but know that now you are making beautiful music in heaven.

So sorry to hear about George he was a hoot to be around. He loved his Family and we will be praying for you all.

So sorry for your loss. Everyone loved George. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Elaine, Angie and Lindsey I’m so sorry to hear the passing of George. Never a dull moment around him and he’d always speak when seen out. Sending love and prayers for you all. ❤️

I do not think i have ever seen her without a smile on her face. I loved running into her from time to time and having those brief moments of catching up with her and learning about what's new. From high school to present, she was one of the most loving and caring persons i have ever known, and i don't think it was even possible not to smile with her whenever you talked to her. she definitely could lite up a room with her smile and caring heart. Truly sadden by this loss for her family. But, she lives on thru each and everyone who loved her or even met her. Until we meet again my wonderful precious friend.

I am so grateful that I got to know you so many years ago through your daughter Myra. You and your husband gave me a home at the time I stayed with you for a few weeks and welcomed me as if I were a member of the family. I am also grateful that I was able to visit you again in 2019 after more than 30 years. But I am also infinitely sad that I am not allowed to see you again on this earth. Thank you for everything! My heart will be with you all the time!

She was a very warm person to work with a d always funny

Dr.John Rymer was my first pastor when my family joined Etowah Baptist Church in the early 80’s. He baptized both of my parents, my brother, my sister and myself. Thank you John.

Pastor Rymer was my pastor for 30 years. He was warm and loving as well as intelligent and an excellent pastor and teacher. What a privilege to be shepherded by this Godly man.

Sorry for your loss and we are Praying for Comfort during these times..... With Deepest Sympathy

I’m deeply grateful to have been one of his students. I still tell stories about him some 35 years later.

I had the privilege of studying under Dr Rymer at Fruitland (1994-1996) and treasured a friendship with him while living on campus from 1994-1995. There is no way to understand or estimate the Gospel Impact of this wonderful Servant of God! Dr Rymer illustrated to us all the necessity of “Sticking by the stuff” as his famous sermon stated! Thank you Dr Rymer! Enjoy your Heavenly reward!

Probably the fondest memory I have of Dr. Rymer, besides he and Dr. Tiller trading shots at each other, was an assignment we had for Old Testament where we had to write a paragraph or two from the perspective of any character involved in The Flood and Noah's Ark. I wrote mine from God's perspective and that morning in class, he told me in all his years of teaching at Fruitland, no one had ever written that assignment from God's perspective. He also told me God had given me a special gift to see things from different perspectives and put what I see into words. For a young, inexperienced, and not very confident man, that meant the world to me. He saw something in me no one else ever had and I have nothing but the greatest love and respect for such a great man of God.

I have fond memories of Dr. Ryker. He taught me at Fruitland from 1969-1971. I always had great respect and love for him.

When I was at Fruitland in the early eighties I lived in one of his rental houses. The rent we paid was barely enough to pay his taxes and the upkeep on the property. He and his wife loved helping Fruitland students. One of our children was in daycare at First Baptist where Mrs Ryder worked and she payed for his care. If I did any repairs on the house we lived in he would always take it off our rent. One of the most godly influences in my life. He has gone to his reward and one day we will meet again.

We’re so sorry to hear of Tasha’s passing. Our hearts ache for her family. We had many memories on the dance team together and sleep overs that I can still remember 20+ years later. As years have passed we’ve enjoyed running into her only to see she was still her sweet, smiling self . May God wrap His arms around this precious family. We lift you up in prayer and leave you with this promise from Philippians 4:7” and the peace of God, which passes all understanding will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.”

What a great influence upon my ministry was made by Dr. Rymer. He was an encourager and an extraordinary example of what a pastor is supposed to be. He touched my life and made a profound impact upon my Christian walk. Truly a Man of God.

I loved this beautiful soul. She was taken way too soon. I can only imagine how much she will be missed. May she rest in peace.

Mr. Rymer was my pastor growing up at Etowah Baptist Church. I lived right beside the church so I saw Mr. Rymer frequently. He was a teaching pastor, staying very close to the text and using scripture to explain scripture. I learned so much about the Old Testament from his teaching mostly on Sunday nights. Teaching us the importance of the OT was his specialty as he knew it so well and taught OT at Fruitland. I appreciated his support of our youth program for many years and yes, we stretched him at times with music and more modern activities. I know he was a big Steelers fan and I was a Dallas fan so he got most of the joy from those battles, the Steelers won both matchups in the Super Bowls in the 1970's. I wrote him a letter in college seeking his advice on something and he wrote a warm letter back to me and I appreciated his effort to do so. Mr. Rymer clearly has a front row seat now with his Savior and I look forward to seeing him again in glory soon. Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a little; I will set you over much. Enter into the joy of your master. – Matthew 25:21

John will be dearly missed. He was such an asset to our Sunday School class - even teaching on the spur of the moment when our teacher couldn't make it. His sense of humor was a joy to us all. Today he is with Jesus.

A smile that would light up a room ❤️ Such a beautiful soul inside and out.

I just met Tasha and her girls upon moving here in April. She was such a bright light and a powerful force of laughter and love. Her children were number one. She had them working with her at the restaurant where we worked or at the Hendersonville Farmer's Market where we always had a laugh every Saturday. Tasha was always bubbly and laughing. She had just returned from the beach her favorite place. She will be missed. I will miss her. She is gone too soon. May she Rest in Peace. I pray for comfort for her family and friends.

So sorry to hear of her passing she was bright light every time we would see Tasha. Precious mother and she loved Pat..

I knew Tasha in high school and although we weren’t close we were still friends. After high school we lost touch but life brought us back together again. Our boys played soccer together & Tasha & I would talk & laugh about life as we watched practice. Then life brought us together again when we started working together this year. She was a beautiful person inside & out. She had a smile & a kind word for everyone she met. My prayers are with Patrick & her kids.

Tasha indeed went all out to celebrate special events. Be it a birthday party, a graduation celebration or family/ friend get together. I recall the numerous occasions with tents scattered about. Food, games, face painting, decorations galore….her heart was filled with love and no one ever doubted it. She was beautiful both inside and out. A lasting impact of her love and kindness will last forever. Rest In Peace sweet lady!

I never had the pleasure of meeting Tasha, but felt I knew her through her daughter Cassie. It’s obvious she was well loved by all her family and she celebrated and was grateful for a blessed and happy life. Cassie has regaled us with stories of voluminous decorations for every holiday, endless Christmas presents and family gatherings that always included numerous friends. Cassie and the other children reflect the best traits Tasha passed along to them. JOHN 16:22 “Therefore you too have grief now; but I will see you again, and your heart will rejoice, and no one will take your joy away from you”.

Tasha and I were thick as thieves our senior year. So many stories and good times from working at sagebrush and those dance team uniforms to her dropping the clutch out of my beat up old Mazda That woman was never seen without a huge smile and was always a loyal trusted friend. I hate I let the years separate us. Huge hugs and love to her kids, her family, and raised to another Angel in Heaven. You will be missed!

He was the man my grandfather Joe Esposito that had shown me how to throw a cast net for the very first time when I was only 5or6 years old . It seems like a long time ago pa miss you so much

Sorry for your loss. You are in our prayers

So sorry for your loss. She was a very special lady a true class act. She was an exceptional teacher and person. you all are in our prayers.

My condolences to family and friends. Tasha had a great smile and was kind to everyone.

Sweet angel im going to miss our chats we had over the last year or so...love you girl!!

you were so amazing at baking, i loved everything you made for me <3 i loved our conversations at our parties too, lastly I love you Tasha.

Tasha’s smile and her eagerness to help everyone is something that I will always remember. I always enjoyed talking with her when I worked with her at Highland Lake. She was definitely a proud momma!!

I can't believe you're gone.. you are a wonderful spirit who touch so many lives

I will never forget Tasha’s beautiful smile and wonderful spirit! You will line in in the many people you touched during your short life!❤️❤️❤️

Tennessee trips

Her smile...

I'm Sorry That I Just Learned Of Jimmy's Passing. I Worked With Him Many Years At The Sheriff's Office. We Shared Many A Fishin' Lie, & Cups Of Coffee Together. A Dedicated Officer & A Good Friend ! Rest In Peace My Brother, I'll Never Forget You !

Back in time, there are great memories of our group of teenagers. All of the fun parties, the Saturday evening Sock-Hops and movie shows. We did have a great group of friends. Hope to meet up with some day as you have meet up with Janette who is already in Heaven.

We remember Kayla and her love of all types of dance, especially clogging. She was always smiling when she was dancing. I'm so sorry for your loss. We will be thinking of you all and praying for you during the coming days.

Kayla always had a beautiful smile on her face. My girls loved dancing with her. We have so many cherished memories of Kayla that we will hold on to forever.

Nate and I moved here in 1981 and Martha and Allen were some of the first neighbors we met. Their example of community and what it meant to them shaped our future here. I spent many hours with Martha talking about this City and it's residence...how we could support and contribute to it's highest good. Her love of Saluda, family and friends will forever be etched in the lives that she touched in her 93 years. I loved her as a fellow Saludian and always will. We're sorry for the loss of such a wonderful woman....she will be missed.

My memory is of a beautiful smile of a kind and a precious girl, on stage and shining bright! Kim and Randall, my love and prayers for you all!

We sure will missBob and all the fun conversations we had at our after church breakfasts on Sundays. Prayers to his Family.

Brenda and I met about 40 years ago when our needlework guild formed in Lincoln, NE. 0ver the years in addition to all the local stitching activity we attended many needlework seminars: 19 years at Callaway Gardens, EGA and ANG seminars and local seminars. I've lost track of how many times Brenda and I were roommates. So many memories of late night stitching and gabbing, so many meals shared, so much fun together. Doug, Scott and Rob you are much in my thoughts now.

I will always love you..You are my hero.i will see you again

Ms Martha was such a calming spirit to be around. I enjoyed listening to her stories of Saluda. She was so knowledgeable about so much. My thoughts & prayers to the family in the loss of this precious icon here in Saluda.

Her mother, Mrs. Janie Coates was my teacher in the third grade and she was great. I still remember the Halloween poem she had us memorize. Mrs. Martha was a beloved neighbor who shared the Pond with the neighborhood, shared her love of teaching and learning with me and her students, and raised three fun-loving children. We rode bikes or skated on the blacktopped street all the time. Many great childhood memories and later Pond memories on Coon Dog Day. I could listen to her talk all day with that faint tidewater accent. She will definitely be missed.

I will never forget Martha & Allen's warm hospitality & wonderful backyard parties, picnics, amidst their lovely flowers & rock garden, & their fascinating mineral museum. I painted them in my Saluda painting coming down the street, headed to an International Dinner at Yvonne's beloved Calico Cottage. They they will always be indelible in my cherished memories of a certain glorious time in Saluda. To Myra & all of Martha's family I send my deepest sympathies at her passing.

Brenda and I met at Curves many years ago. We later shared a bond of PEO sisterhood.

Thank you for all those young lives you influenced. Go fly high on that mountain. My deepest sympathy to.all the family.

Pat, May you be comforted with the loving prayers of family and friends. You are not alone. May His Grace and Peace comfort you.

A few years ago when I was selling honey at the Saluda Farmer's Market, she would stop by my booth. I asked Martha if she remembered me and my class. She said that would never forget that class because Tony Morgan was in that class. Martha has stepped into the hallway and Tony chose that moment to show the class what a hair pin inserted into the electric outlet would do. Lol. Tony got shocked and the breakers were all tripped.

I'm so sorry to read this. I always enjoyed her visits to my shop, and seeing her at the gem shows. Very sweet and always kind. May God bless you, and prayers for the family.

Bless you Mrs. Ashley, truly a great community leader. So kind and generous to all. So sweet . Many heartfelt condolences to your family.

Just saw the news of Horace's passing. I partnered with him at Comax Industries for many years. He was a good Bible believing Christian and I still have the Bible that he and I literally wore out sharing scriptures through those years. I still miss those times and now wish God's comforting and care for all who loved him. Everyone who knew him knows exactly where he is today and will join him again soon in our coming wonderful eternal life with the Lord.

Mrs. Ashley was one of my teachers at Saluda School. She was the best, kind , patient, caring. I have always remembered her and was blessed to have her as a teacher. Prayers for the family.

She was my first grade teacher and helped Mrs. Effie when I was in kindergarten. I always went trick or treating at her beautiful house and even started taking my kids as well. Sorry for your loss.

Godspeed Miss Ashley.

Janet was a fun (and funny) lady. I treasured our time in Deborah Circle at Trinity Presbyterian Church and as a neighbor who loved to visit even if only for a short time.

This post is many years after Sandra's death. She was my consultant after I was trained in EMDR. She was so wise, kind, and informative. I still remember and use what she taught me. I will never forget her.

I learned to know Russ when I began working at the Biltmore winery. He took me on a tour of the vineyards. He was very knowledgeable regarding everything from start to finish in wine production. Then a short time later my family joined the church that Russ an Sue attended. I worked closely with Sue when she worked as an assistant to the choir director. Wonderful couple, will never forget Russ and what a fine gentleman he was!!

My daughter worked at Roses store back in late 1988 for serval years during her high college years. . I met both Mr & Mrs Hembree. It’s been several years but I saw them in Harris Teeter and they remember my daughter. It is so as obituary says it was honey or sugar such a sweet couple.

I am so sorry for your loss - all of my memories of your dad fill me with joy thinking about his gentle smile and kind spirit.

I was saddened to here of Linda's death. my thoughts and concerns remain with you Theresa and Debbie. Your family was always one of my favorites. I appreciate your support through the years and I value our prior doctor-patient relationships.

Sure do miss you Dad!

My deepest sympathy to Linda's family in her passing. I ordered flowers from her on several occasions and we had several nice visits in the shop. She was always happy and upbeat. Love to the family.

Debbie, My thoughts and prayers are with you! Debbie Lunsford

Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Praying for the family at the graduation of Mr. Miller to his forever home with Jesus!

Thinking about you and your family. Will be praying for you guys in the coming days!

Just learned that Doris passed. What a dear woman she was! Always quick to smile and a gracious hostess. Doris always welcomed us and our children to swim or have a meal. Sam enjoyed playing the Millitari's organ as a boy and we were wowed hearing Doris on the accordion ( and Joe onbthe trumpet). Have so many treasured memories of Doris and Joe and family from the 1980s and early 90s. Heartfelt sympathies to Kevin, Jackie, Kristen and Michael.

Lisa and family, thinking of you and praying that God will comfort you all during this difficult time.

Peace to you at this time.

Patricia, my heart goes out to you in the passing of your husband. Sending thoughts, prayers and deepest sympathy to you and your family.

We are all thinking about your family during this difficult time.

I am so sorry for your loss. Gene was such a wonderful guy. Always hugging! He will be missed.

Mark, prayers go out to you and your entire family during this difficult time!! Prayers for peace and comfort

In loving memory of Uncle Horace. I can remember staying with Rhonda, Mitchell, Mark as a child. One evening before Halloween when my mother came to pick me up after supper, Aunt Connie & my Mom told us kids to go out to the front porch, so we did. Then Uncle Horace had a sheet over himself and came around the house in the dark saying “booooo” in a deep voice. All 4 of us kids ran into the house screaming. It’s one of the many beautiful memories I have of this whole wonderful family. I remember his parents Uncle Grade and Aunt Rosa, Aunt Camie Johnson (Aunt Rosa’s sister). A wonderful Christian family to this day. My sincere condolences, with much Love and prayers to the entire family.

One of the best teachers I ever had still remember until this day! RIP MR. INGLE

My memories of Roger are many and connected with great stories and emotions. He will always be in our minds and hearts. My prayers are with the extended family.

Roger and I went to Northwestern Univ, Univ of Cincinnati Medical School, The USNavy and subsequently residencies at Cincinnati General. Hospital as well as being a member of our wedding party. Dear friend and great physician. Goodbye.

It is an honor to pay tribute to Dr. Shetterly. He was a wonderful physician and a great human being. Our condolences to Barbara and Family. Jo Ann and Richard Steinbeck

What a great man! We have so many wonderful memories of him and time with the Shetterly family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you in this trying time.

Many sincere condolences for Dr. Shetterly’s family. I know he will be missed.

What a amazing man he was - a brave veteran, wonderful doctor and loving husband and father. Wish I could have met him. Love and prayers to your whole family. With love, The Burges Family

Dear Helen, Cal and I are so heartbroken to learn of our dear friend Ben’s passing. His contributions to the golf world were nothing short of spectacular but his contributions as a wonderful, heart warming, truly honest and caring individual overshadow everything else. Out time spent together in Connecticut at Tallwood and his commitment to coming to the “Harry” were just wonderful days. I’ll NEVER forget our round of golf when he, Kenny, Nick, Stevie and I played the celebrity and decided to set a record for drinking red 12 bottles of red wine! We all left the course that day with the best red wine stains on our golf shirts. To this day I’ve never met anyone else who could tell stories like Ben. Losing his teeth down the toilet and having “Dr Wong” make him a new set so he could do the telecast the next day with Summerhall was the best! So so many belly laughs. Our visit to Asheville and playing 18 with Ben was something I’ll always remember and cherish, you were both so hospitable. God bless Ben Wright. All my love and condolences. Thinking of you often. Ray Embury

Janice, Chris and family. My sincerest condolences. Many prayers for all of you.

Childhood friends, memories. Rest In Peace my friend. Until we meet again.

Tim, you were a gentleman when we were classmates and your light will definitely be missed. Deepest condolences to the family.

Ray and Barbara were the best neighbors!! I will always remember their kindness, how welcoming they were when we moved to the neighborhood and all of the fun times we had. I will miss seeing Ray and his warm smile and wave when visiting my folks. Your family will be in my prayers.

Wonderful memories of Uncle Charles when he and Aunt Pat came back to Oklahoma to visit! Prayers to Debbie and family.

Yes, Roger was special....many people say that about the deceased and often can be somewhat exaggerated out of respect, but not here! He was special in very special ways....intellect, humor, talent, values, friendship, and a loving of all those who knew him! All the things that most of us would aspire to....he had it all! God bless him, as I'm sure He already has! Barb had the best!

The entire Denmark Technical College mourns the loss of Mr. Ledford, relative of Mr. and Mrs. Phillip and Donna Syme, two of our team members. Please accept our most sincere condolences during your time of loss.

My entire life you were my world. You made life happen for me, gave me the world, and I couldn't have ever wanted for more. You were the best father, and best friend I could have ever asked for. I love you forever, and will carry your memory on. All of my love.

I worked with Dr. Shetterly at Pardee Hospital many years ago. He was always so kind to me and his patients. Prayers are with you all.

Roger and I were dear friends for 62 years beginning at Northwestern University when we joined the same fraternity. He was quite an accomplished and skilled physician in both Vietnam and Hendersonville. But even beyond that he was a special person. Roger was kind and compassionate and made contributions to his community beyond medicine. He had a sense of humor that was unique and delightful. Each of his fraternity brothers had a Roger Story that made us laugh. Roger and I remained in close contact over the years, and I will miss him very much.

I knew Marie ans Allen from them coming to the lab at the hospital. They were such a joy. Marie was such a sweet soul. Prayers for the family

Go rest high ole friend

My condolences to the family, having known Linda for so many years. I have tears for her passing and tears of joy for knowing her. Rest in peace my dear friend.

I was very sorry to hear of Linda’s passing. We were friends and classmates at Carlsbad High School. Sending condolences and prayers to the family.

I am so sorry to hear of Linda's passing. I have wondered for a couple of years how she was and where she was once they left Vista. Today, I decided to type in Linda Nell Anderson and I was just broken-hearted to find an obituary. Linda and I and many from her CHS of 65 had great times attending CE at Carlsbad Union Church in Carlsbad. Those times will not be forgotten. My condolences to her family.

I remember Ray as as always smiling and friendly, as well as dependable. Until his health decline he could always be found on Sundays at church greeting members and visitors as they came in the door. We miss him.

I was so sorry to hear this news. You are in my thoughts. Sally Downs Hazel

Dr. Shetterly was a wonderful man and doctor. He was my employer for many years and was so kind to me and my family. He will be missed by many.

Barbara and children, I was saddened to learn that Dr. Shetterly had passed. He was my first employer. He was kind and generous and so very funny. I especially remember his story of the USO and Ann-Margaret. Prayers for you and your family.

Dr. Shetterly was the best. I was in the fourth grade when he did my eye surgery. Sweet and caring man. Prayers for the family.

Mary Ann, along with her husband, Don helped our family, The Sanchez', during our Dad's illness. She prayed with us and always had a smile that transcended hope and kindness. I will always remember her sitting at the pew with her husband during mass at St. Francis and the chats and laughter after mass and at the St. Francis festivals and auctions. Rest now in the arms of God the Father faithful servant. Condolences to Mr. Schutt and the family. Peace in Christ, Ruth & Kaisar Yammine and on behalf of the Sanchez' Family

A very sweet lady

Hello Frank, I am so sorry to read here about your Dad passing away. Please accept our condolences and prayers for you, Tracy, and your whole family. God bless you and your family.

What an accomplished and wonderful man

Buzzy was a dear friend and neighbor on Surry Lane. He loved petting our dogs when I walked them and after losing his precious wife, I would share our dinners with him and occasionally we would go out to eat. He always had a smile and seemed to enjoy hearing from us after we moved to KY eight years ago. We would call each other from time to time and when my husband and I visited we always tried to include a trip by Buzzy’s. He was certainly a special man and will be greatly missed. We are so sad to hear of his passing. Condolences to his precious family.

May God grant you peace as you struggle with your grief. Gather a Dandie into your arms and cry into his/her fur. Remember the good times you shared with David and your dogs. Blessings,

So many memories of being a patient of Dr. Shetterly's for many years and also working for him until his retirement. He was a wonderful doctor and friend. May you rest in peace Dr. Shetterly.

Rest In Peace Colonel Anderson. One of finest men I was privileged to know. Will be visiting Westminster as he will rest close to my Mom and Dad.

Clarence was a very special person. Worked with him for many years at Steelcase. His sense of humor was always uplifting. He was known for his famous line when asked how his day was going........I’ve got one more load”

He fit right into our family and we grew to love him like he had always been there. He was a kind and gentle hearted man. We will cherish our memories. Wonderful news is we will see Donald again one day. Prayers for all!

So sorry Tom was a good friend to me. ED Davis

I worked with Gene every since he’s been there, he was a gentle giant and he would do anything for anyone if he could. It’s so strange not seeing him at work he was a dependable person on the job. So sorry for his family.

I was so saddened to follow Camrin’s journey in the ICU as she battled COVID. As her younger cousin, I had the pleasure of spending time with Camrin through the decades, celebrating holidays together and also watching her grace in dealing with tough challenges, like the passing of her parents, my beloved aunty and uncle. We recently partnered on the sale of some of her dad’s real estate, and it was wonderful to witness how she thoroughly approached different possibilities with rigor, her trademark laughter, and heart. I will miss Camrin and send my deepest condolences to Craig, Traci, and Robin as well as her North Carolina family and friends.

May her memory be eternal, sending prayers for your loss.

There are many memories I have of Mike, not the least of which was his actions when our daughter, Brie was born. She was born in March during March Madness, and living in a three story townhouse made for many trips up and down to meet both objectives, checking on us and our needs and not missing a shot. There are so many stories both told by Mike and lived. Mike had a special ability and the “gift of gab” that afforded him opportunities to talk to anyone, from all walks of life. He had a flair for the dramatic at times in telling his colorful stories but they kept anyone listening entertained and usually laughing. In looking back through pictures of Mike with Brie, there is no doubt how proud and loving a Dad he was. Mike was truly one of a kind. Your presence in our lives will be missed.

Prayers for you and your family at this difficult time.

Alan, Larry and family, my heart goes out to you all in the Home going of your precious Mother. You are in my thoughts and prayers. With my deepest sympathy ~

Linda - so very sorry to hear about Bob! He was a great friend and actually recruited me away from Legg Mason.to Wachovia and also worked together at J. C. Bradford & Co.. “Bouncing” Bob as we called him will surely be missed. My heartfelt condolences to you and family!

Memories of Camrin's bright smile, her confident prayers on our behalf, and hearing her give an encouraging prophetic word to a friend flood my mind. We remember her laughing around our kitchen table and chatting with our girls. She was patient, practical, and gentle, Camrin was a friend, a mentor, an encourager, and a teacher. She was an integral part of our network of churches. We don't know how we'll get on without her.

Doug you were one of a kind always there for your friends and family. Thanks for always having a listening ear to guide me. You will never be forgotten. Fly high with the angels my friend.

So sorry to hear about Mitch leaving us. I'm still in shock hearing of his passing. Mitch was like a brother to me and we shared so many memories together at Berkeley. He was a hard worker, great friend, always willing to help you. My heart is sadden for your great loss and he will be missed by anyone who who knew him. RIP MITCH

June was a wonderful sweet kind stepmom and grandmom. I will always have great memories spent visiting her and my Dad!!! Thank you June for all the love you will be missed.

Jean I’m so sorry for your loss. We sorta lost touch but I’ve thought of you guys often. I know God will give you and your family comfort, as He has been there for me.

Susie (Ada) was a dear friend. We came from the same area of Ohio and I went to her mothers home many times. I envied her piano playing and ability to lead praise and worship. I can see her now leading a Giant heavenly choir for God. Our loss is heavens gain. Enjoy mybdear friend can't wait to be there when Jesus comes back soon I hope.

Dear Richard and family, My condolences to you all. Mrs. Bennum was one of the most beautiful souls I've ever met. I can just imagine her joy at seeing Mr Bennum again ! And I'm sure my parents Rose and Robert are thrilled to all be together again! I'll always remember her so fondly! Sincerely, Michele Mance

I enjoyed getting to know your mom. She has a great sense of humor. I am very sorry for your loss. Patti Fredrick-Enloe CNA, HHR

Helen: Please accept my deepest sympathy for the loss of Ben. I am so fortunate to have spent relatively few, but all very high quality times with Ben. Most notably was our trip to Ireland in the midst of the major airline problems which resulted in the lack of luggage for most of the trip. Richard, Peter and I will cherish those times forever. I was glad to have had the chance to visit you and Ben in NC, only wishing I had made the effort to get back again. Ben was such a joy to listen to on TV(and of course in person) - announcers of today can’t compare to the wit and intellect demonstrated by Ben. Most sincerely, Steve Colnitis

Debbie, Your father was an amazing man. I have wonderful memories of him at Roberson ball games. I am thinking of you and your family. God Bless You.

Sorry to hear about Tom's passing and deeply regret not being able to attend his funeral. Rest assured that you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. Loren & Rosella Miller

Our thought's & prayers are with the family.May God comfort you all in the the days ahead. Sending love , hugs & prayers so sorry for your loss .Rest In Peace Uncle Thomas !!!

Jean, I'm sorry to hear of Tom's death. It feels like another brother has died. I grew up with him, went to school with him, worked with him, and retired with him. We will be praying for you.

I remember Uncle Thomas and Aunt Jean from the family picnic that was held once a year. Debbie was closest to my age of the cousins. I remember how much I admired the love I saw between Thomas and Jean and their daughter. I envied Debbie for having such a close and loving family. I haven’t seen them in a few decades, but always remember that loving closeness. I send my most sincere condolences to Jean, Debbie and the entire family. I am sure that Uncle Thomas will be missed.

Jenny we were very sorry to hear about Tom. We are thinking of you and the loss of your husband.

Buzzy use to walk in our neighborhood at Lake Rugby and my husband Dennis would see him and run out to walk around the lake with him until he would get to Haywood Knolls. Dennis called him Buzbee and they would talk all the way. One time I walked with them and we walked all the way to his house and back. I was tired and Buzzy was so energetic and so kind. My husband passed in March of this year. Now they will be buddies again when they see each other. So sorry for your loss. Very sweet man.

Andrea and your sons Steve and I just learned of Tony’s passing. I am so sorry. Steve talked about him every time they ran into each other at work and I asked often about how you and the boys were doing. He was a great man and father and husband. I am so sorry

I just heard about Mr. Wells' passing. I met him hiking Sandburg (of course!) and always really enjoyed talking with him. He was a wonderful presence there and I am very sorry for your loss.

Dougie and I took a road trip to Michigan a few years back. I was a little concerned what we would talk about for 9 hour. No worries, I didn't have to talk. He talked the whole trip. He was a good friend of the family. Going to miss you, Dougie. My thoughts and prayers with Dougie's family.

Robert I am praying for you during this time. John was a great friend. Going to miss him dearly. Just can’t believe he is gone.

I was so sorry to learn of Ben's untimely passing, Helen; I am so glad Olga and I could be with both of you at your beautiful wedding...many years ago!

Doug was a great friend to my son and me and my husband. When my father in-law was alive he would always help my son with any carpentry work that was needed. He had a big heart. Matthew always went to him for advice. We are going to miss him so much. Our prayers are with all of his family. Soar with the Angels Doug. ❤️

Our thoughts and prayers are with the family. Jan and eddie

My dear sweet friend John, I am going to miss you and your personality...one if a kind. The time spent with you and B I will always cherish those memories. I learned a lot from you. Your cooking skills were phenomenal. I look forward to seeing you again someday. Love you John

What a life, a story, and a friend to get to know over the past seven years. We are really going to miss the talks and visits. Helen, Ben was always commenting on how happy he really was!

Buzzy went with me to the Blue Ridge Parkway to spread the ashes of his sister Marie. She sincerely wanted to be near her husband, whose ashes were also spread there. He was so kind and tender with the process we followed (according to the BRP rules). Such a caring man. I had kept in touch with him since that time in 2019. Last talked with him two weeks ago. He was positive and happy to be living closer to his daughters. I admire and respect Buzzy Hoegger. Rest in peace, my friend.

Love you bro, Sorry I didn't get to see you and Robert last February in Gatlinburg. You will always be my best friend and close neighbor growing up. Tell mom and dad hello and aunt Ruthie. Reenie

I have known John since we were kids on Homewood Drive.He was always a gentle soul and good guy.So sorry to hear of his passing.Prayers for all who knew and loved him.RIP John.

We love you Doug. You can't imagine how much you will be missed. Thank you for being such a good friend. In your own words, "Love you, see you later!"

He was A GOOD FRIEND WITH A GOOD SPIRIT YOU GOING TO BE MISSED

I was so saddened to hear of the passing of my friend Ben. I remember all those wonderful days of golf. My fondest memory being when you exclaimed after hitting a terrible shot that you were playing like a two titted loon. It was such an outrageous characterization we all laughed uproariously. I’m sure other golfers thought we had lost our collective minds. To memorialize the occasion we promptly formed the Royal and Ancient Society of the Two Titted Loon. From a fellow Loon goodby old friend. Rest In Peace.

I never met John however heard such wonderful stories of him and Robert. My heart goes out to Robert and John's family

Lovely and Funny Man that I will miss greatly. Love Barbara

Ben had been a proud member of the Association of Golf Writers (AGW) since 1958. His name appears first (1961) on the AGWs Golf Writers Championship Trophy that will be contested 60-years on next month at Royal Liverpool. He was the Association's joint equal longest living member & his passing has brought sadness to those who called Ben their friend.

Helen, I am so sorry for your loss! Ben was an accomplished, entertaining man. I know you will miss him!

Susie and I had great visits. She longed to sing and hear music. She also liked to try new lipsticks and always looked lovely. I am confident she is hearing and making the most beautiful music to worship our God. My thoughts and prayers are with her family and friends.

My prayers are with you all. God has gained a beautiful Angel. May God grant you all peace and understanding.

Ronnie, Cathy & Jeff, i am so sorry for your loss. Our prayers are with you.

To the Hyder Family I was very deeply saddened to here of Mitchell's passing. He was one of the most even tempered persons I have known in my life. Mitchell had a calmness in his spirit that always brought me peace. Mitchell was one of the Best Teammates I worked with at Berkeley Mills. There was never a time that he was not willing to help and always had a positive attitude. I feel honored and humbled to have been his friend. God Speed to you Mitchell!

So sad to hear this news. Ben had become such a staple at our event, and we enjoyed our numerous lunches over the years at Season's to catch-up and just sit there in awe of the stories he told. What an absolute great man - he will be missed! Prayers to Helen and the family.

I don't know where to begin, our hope & light in this dark tunnel has passed on. He gave 1000% of himself even at his weakest state. I will remember his smile and will to survive for many years to come. Everyone here at Pardee sends their love and prayers for every one of his family/friends. I still cant believe it.

I met him a a charity golf event in Connecticut. He told me a story of how he had the Beatles on a television show he was on in England before they were famous. My condolences to his family

A remarkable storyteller if ever there was! We have known Ben for many years here at the Cliffs Valley. He was a friend and enjoyable to be around. He will be greatly missed.

A remarkable storyteller if ever there was!

Will always remember Bens visits to Michigan

A good friend and a kind man. We will miss Ben. RIP

Zachary Russow, Billy Torrey (Cassie), Jesse Torrey (Brianna) son’s!!! Walker (6) Anna (4) Jaxson (1) Aurora (1) grandchildren He was a good dad and an even better papaw, he never missed a party. You will be dearly missed R.I.P. ❤️

So sorry for your loss. We have many fun memories of Mitchell working with him at Berkeley. GOD bless you all.

The world of golf has lost a national treasure. Our friendship with Ben has covered over 25 years. I can’t begin to say how shocked we are that he is no longer with us all. Rest well our friend. Tommy and Lela Stearns

Don and I enjoyed so much our evenings with Ben and Helen at the Pit, Buster's Place, where we would enjoy good food, good wine and exchange interesting stories. Ben was always fun to be with.

Betty

My friend , my brother. Mary Ellen and I are heart broken over the news. So fortunate to have spent quality time with him and Helen. Arnie, Ben and Bobby Jones await your arrival ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Ben had a fantastic memory! After meeting me for the first time along with numerous others in a very few minutes, he remembered my name a year later. As we got to know him better over several years, we enjoyed his sense of humor and his stories which we never grew tired of the retelling!

So very very sorry for your loss! I am so very sad to hear this! I worked with Mitchell for about 10 yrs at Kimberly Clark. He was a sweet hearted young man and a good friend. RIP Mitchell!

So sorry for your loss, Susan and family. He was always fun to work with, and his wonderful sense of humor will truly be missed. By all who knew him.

I'm sorry this has come so late. I just found out about Steve's passing. He, and his family, were my next door neighbors way back in the 70's when I was just a little guy. I always thought a lot of him and loved to bump into him occasionally around town. My thoughts go out to you all. God Bless.

Susan and family...You are all in my thoughts. Mitchell was a real buddy. Always tried to take the time to talk bicycles or motorcycles. I will be on vacation with my family and cannot make the services, for that, I apologize. Take care and God Bless.

We are sorry for your loss. We will keep your family in our thoughts and prayers. Will miss working with him.

Jeff, Ronnie and Family Mitchell was a fantastic friend and co-worker. Mitchell always had a story to tell and could make you laugh at the drop of a hat. Mitchell was always willing to help and cared so much for his friends and family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during your time of loss. Hold tight to the memories as those will fill your heart. We are wishing you and your family courage and peace during this time. God Bless, Dickey & Kimberly Clark

Mitchel was a great guy to work with, He will be greatly missed, Ronnie & Cathy I feel your loss. I too lost a son. I do know what an empty void this leaves in a family. Only God can help you with the peace and comfort you are going to need.

Mitchell was such a sweet man and a great friend to me. He would always tell me about his rides and how much he loved riding his motorcycle . Himand Susan have been such good friends and my heart is breaking for her and the kids. He will be missed so much. I love you Susan and I'm praying you and the family.

He was a good guy and I loved to hang out with him and his fiancé with me my dad and brother we all had good times riding Harley's together

Dear Jeff and family, I am so sorry to hear of Mitch's passing! I will always remember how he could bring laughter to the worst of days at Berkeley with his "Why yeah" attitude and contagious smile. He will be missed by all that knew him! May God's peace and comfort be with each one of you in this very sad time. Sincerely, Debbie Boyer

My thoughts and prayers are with you all during this time! Jack was such a wonderful man and I will miss him dearly. It was an honor taking care of him at dialysis. I enjoyed his stories and hearing all about his old car adventures. May God bless you all!

I worked with Tony for many years and always a good person in and out of work

I met Dauna while she was a volunteer for a committee in Henderson County. I always found her energy and kindness so wonderful. May her family find peace in knowing her life mattered.

Prayers for the family. I had the pleasure of meeting Paul and Jean through the Rorichs.

he will be missed for sure. I didn’t know him well but he would always cheer me on for the day at work! His cute smile, always very nice to me making my “bad” days better. What a gem. And his family so wonderful I will miss seeing them as well. My buddy Paul, I’ll miss you so much. That smile! Ill miss you riding the bike exercise asking what in the world!? We had some fun days together and I’m so grateful I got to meet you. I wish I could thank Noel for the beautiful card she made me!! I wish I could show it to you. She’s so amazing. You raised your kids well. Rest in paradise my friend! Sending love to your family. As a cna or nurse we are just “there” but we really do bond and get to know your loved ones and try to do every single thing you want.. we love them, make sure they’re ok, sit with them when we can because they do need somebody too! Especially with covid you can’t always come so you need us more than ever!

Always a great guy, could make a bad day good. You will be missed and until we meet again,keep smiling.

Remembering good times in her home when I was a teenager she will be missed,Elaine you are in my thoughts and prayers

Have alot of memories when i was a teenager she always was full of fun and loved you wether you were her kid or not.Elaine my thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

There never was a nicer man or better neighbor than Tommy. His love and kindness to animals was an example to us all. And to his sweet, charming wife, Sandy, our most profound condolences. Private note: "Silkies Rule"!

Wish I could be there in person to pay my respects. Steve is the kind of man this world needs more of. Completely selfless and genuine. Our time together with him was very short, but the kind of person he is was immediately recognizable. He’s truly missed.

Fair winds and following seas shipmate.

So sorry for your loss ! We miss you at work but understand what you’re going through !

Elaine I am so sorry for your loss! With Love!

Frank was one of the sweetest, most genial fellows I have ever had the pleasure of knowing, and I was saddened to hear of his passing. My deepest sympathies to his family.

He was married to my cousin Olin Hefner's daughter Gwen, and I don't know how he fit in with her mom and dad, but I can tell you this, each one could tell a lot of stories. First met Mike at a Fourth of July Hefner Reunion not long before he started having his health issues, and he made a great impression on me. There's one thing for sure he led an exciting life, so sorry to hear of his passing, and there's one thing for sure he loved his Brie...

Brie & David, Your dad's legacy will live on in the forever etched memories in your heart. Share those memories and times with your boys. I remember going four wheeling in Uncle Mike's jeep on the power lines near Granddaddy & Grandma's. It was blue if I remember right. Uncle Mike driving, Uncle Irvin riding shotgun with JR, Wayne & myself on the backseat. Giggling and laughing the whole way; bouncing off the seat attempting to hold on tight. The wind blowing in our hair and faces. Well, we hit a bump and little too hard and JR'S nose hit the roll bar. His nose started bleeding. We went back to the house to put ice on it. Boy Aunt Scherry was mad! The ER doctor had to set it. JR's nose was broke. But we still had fun. It was worth the memories. Also, I tasted my first Heineken with Uncle Mike. Too this day, everytime I see a Heineken commeecial or on the shelf I think of him. A smile comes across my face and the memory warms my heart. We probably had a taste of Granddaddy's homemade wine too! He was always playing games with the nephews and nieces, smiling, laughing having a good time.

So many memories from 93 to 2021Soon after we met my parents came for a visitHe took us to Chinesse restaurant so he could use his knowledge of Mandarin.Picking me up from work and going to a park for picnic lunch.Getting frustrated the way I picked horses(names or colors)for Kentucky DerbyHe always handicapped.Riding tandem bike from Willis to downtown Lumberton I could go on and on You were loved and will be missed.

So sorry to hear of David’s passing. My dad owned Patterson’s next door to David’s organ center at the Jewelry Store next door in 1974 until Patterson’s closed. We knew David very well. So sorry to hear of his passing on my Birthday.

Sorry for the loss of Joyce such an influence on all her family. Cherish the good memories.

Sorry for the loss of Joyce. Cherish the good memories

I will always love you my precious Granny. I’ll never ever forget what all you have done for me. I’ve lost my best buddy.

I shared a cubicle with Tony for several years at Lockheed Martin. His ready smile and sense of humor allowed you to feel comfortable letting your hair down and being your self. We shared a casual workplace friendship in spite of him being a Cowboys fan from west Texas and me being a Redskin fan from DC. I'm glad that when he passed, he was doing what he liked with people that he liked. Sorry for his loss to his family.

Forrest and family, I'm so sorry to hear of your mother's passing. You are in my prayers.

Judy was the aunt that I remember loving to draw. She was so creative and had a beautiful smile. She let me babysat for her many times so I could have a little spending $. She also told me a dozen times that I needed to learn to eat club sandwiches cause “they were the best” (I love them now, Judy).

I love you with all my heart Grandma. Condolences from the Ballinger family. You were the best Grandma to me and the best Great Grandmother to my daughters. Heaven gained a beautiful angel. You are in God's arms now, with so much love. You will always be in my memories and you will be forever missed, and never forgotten. Rest well Grandma.

I’ll miss my grandmother. I will cherish the memories I had with her in Florida and Connecticut. She was a wonderful grandmother. I remember how she would drive and pick Heather and me up from New Britain, CT and drive back to Ellington, CT when we would come visit in the summer. She will always be remembered. I pray that your in peace in heaven with grandpa. You always had a kind heart. ❤️

I am so sorry to hear about Pat's passing. She was always such a nice person to talk to. I'm glad that I was able to see her at Krystle's wedding a couple of years ago. We sat and talked for a while which was very nice. That's the way I will remember her.

Doug, Sue and Judy - sending you and your families love and hugs.

Many good memories of family parties and get togethers will be in our hearts. May you rest in peace Frank and know you have been loved and respected by many.

Mrs. Marge was a sweet, sweet lady. I enjoyed getting to see her the days she had to come to the hospital. I miss seeing her sweet smile, I always had that special bond with her, just wanted to give her a hug each time I saw her. Rest in Peace Mrs. Bestys, we will miss you.

May the river rise to greet you, may the wind be ever at your back May the sun shine warm upon your face, and the rain fall gently on your bow And until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of his hands.

Tony's memory will always be a blessing. He will always be with us whenever we are on the river.

I always enjoyed kayaking with Tony. He was always kind, funny, and smiling. My heartfelt condolences to the family. He will be missed.

I met Frank at On Target Pistol Range. He finished shooting as I was talking with Jeff the shop owner. Jeff asked Frank his last name for range membership. Frank said KRAMARSKI. I looked over at Frank and asked "What's you last name?" In typical Chicago style Frank replied "KRAMARSKI, Got a problem with that?" Jeff looked a bit startled at two strangers sizing one another up for a gun fight in his shop. I said " Let's back up, my name is Mike DiLuigi. I'm from the south side of Chicago. My mother's maiden name is Obcowski and I have not heard a Polish name in a year. It was like music to my ears". We shook hands and he explained he was also from Chicago. Jeff laughed and said " It must be a Chicago thing. One minute you are about to draw guns and the next you two guys are like old buddies". We all had a good laugh. Now for the rest of the story. I went home for dinner and told my fiance' Vickie, I met a guy from Chicago. Last name is Kramarski. She had a funny look on her face. I asked "What's with the look?". She said that earlier that same day, she had interviewed Louise for an accounting position at her firm. What are the chances? We have been friends ever since. Frank was a good man, a dear friend, devoted husband and loving father. His friendship was a treasure and he will life forever in our hearts.

God send Tony, one super great kayaker and friend. Thanks for always being there, always so kind, supportive, and positive ❤️ you will be missed

Prayers for all, many wonderful memories of a special person.

What a beautiful photo and tribute! Uncle Frank was always kind to me personally and the infectious love he had for his beloved ( Aunt Lou) was my favorite thing to see! A couple who lasted the tests of marriage, kids, life and all the things that brings… his passion for her warms my soul… A great man , a loving husband, father, grandfather and uncle… I treasure our time together on recent visits and watching them laugh and take each day as a gift! Truly a remarkable career of serving and selfless care for others! I am grateful he had such loving family surrounding him every day …..that they took that as a privilege to keep him safe and well In his final years… His son and his wife did such an amazing job loving him every single day… so “Butchie & Tracy…. You are blessings for sure! He enjoyed and spoke to me how much he enjoyed being with you guys every day . He is now in heaven and with no pain….my love and support to you all …. Rip Uncle Frank…. I will personally be missing you tons and remembering our laughter and chats as you could definitely get in a conversation and keep us smiling . My prayers and love To you all during this time….

Frank, I am so sorry for your families loss. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear Harry Papazian Jr family My mom, Bessie Paul, grew up in Cornwall on Hudson and knew the whole Papazaian family. She was extremely sad when she read the obituary on Harry Papazian Jr in the Cornwall local paper. She talked about the family every day since she read it and told me stories she remembered of them. I asked if she wanted to contact your family and share her memories but she didn’t want to, I don’t know why. I sadly share with you that my mom passed away last month on July 6, her birthday. Even though I never met any of you, I share in your loss through my mom. Katina, Bessies daughter.

Will forever love and miss you my sweet granny.

Heaven has gained an angel. My sincere condolences go out to family and those who loved him! Rest easy Pops♥️

Frank you were more than a brother in law you were a brother to me an loved very much. You will be missed very much we have shared a lot of memories together and one day we will be together again. I will always love you!

Much love to you all. I rejoice in the beauty of Brianna’s life and testimony. God has truly been glorified in and through her life and we have all been richly blessed. I have been a customer at Justus’ Orchard for many years. What a precious family and support Cory has.

Your godly legacy will still carry on in your daughter, Heather, and her precious girls Maggie and Abby!

Kevin was one of my best friends. He was a brother to me. My biggest regret was not being there for him towards the end when he needed people that loved him the most. I’m sorry for his mom and sister and step dad. I’m sorry Savannah as well. I feel the the most sorry for his 3 boys. They will have to grow up without their dad. But I will always be there to tell them about their dad. I’ll tell them how funny he was. And how awesome he was. There is no one like Kevin. I love you brother! I will always remember you and all the good times we had and the laughs we shared. I’m so sorry Kevin

Praying for Francis and the family.

I work for a family-run orchard operation in Michigan. I am so sorry to hear of your family's loss. Please, everyone, get vaccinated. Wear a mask. You might well spare someone immeasurable pain.

I remember Susan very fondly from our children's busy school days. She was a delight to be around! Her obituary is a loving tribute that really reflects her spirit. Deepest condolences to all of her loving family.

Prayers for your families during such a difficult time. Brianna leaves a beautiful legacy for her children and many others to see the love of Christ. May God Bless you all and provide you with comfort and peace today and in the days to come.

We would often talk before or after class.I also had Amanda, aka miss high kicks and Ken in classes over the years. I just love the whole family and know we will all be together in Heaven one day.

Dear Faye and Stan, Condolences on the passing of your beloved sister, Susan. Bev & Dave Schiller, Buffalo NY

I remember when Leland led a group of us Dove Hunting that I was allowed to be a part of when I was just a kid. There are many fond memories of Leland who wore a big smile and was full of adventure. I always enjoyed the Family Reunions and watching the 4th of July Fireworks from Leland's hangar when I was able to be there. The last thing I remember Leland saying to me a couple of years ago was "Do what you love to do!" Betty, Elmo, Barry & Susan, I wish I could be at Leland's Homegoing Service. I love you all and may the peace of God flood your hearts and minds!

When I first met Ron, he and I were working for the Henderson County Board of Election for early voting at the early voting site at Etowah. Ron would sometimes ride his red three-wheeler to come to work. One of my greatest memories is when Ron would recognize that a new 18 year-old voter would come into to vote, and say, “First-time voter!” It was a wonderful time. You could just hear the pride in his voice when a young voter came into to vote for the first time. Also, Ron stayed up many nights to cook bar-be-que for the Shriners to make money for the Shriners Hospital in Greenville. Since our-great niece had been taken care of by the Shriner’s in Greenville since her birth, we had a wonderful connection about his care and loving for the children at the Shriners there. Ron also was part of the Shiner’s Apple Fest Breakfast at the Methodist Church to raise money for the Shriner’s. In addition, Ron was a great wood-worker. One of my most treasured gifts from Ron is a pen which he made out of pecan wood, which I chose because the pecan wood is a special tree from Texas. I will never give that pen up. Ron was a special person. He made a special place in my life. Thank you, Ron, for all you have done for Henderson County and the Shriners. I am going to miss you very much. In your “quiet’ way, you helped to make Henderson County what it is. I will never forget your laugh, smile and humor. Jim and I will miss you very much.

A beautiful soul… may our wonderful and joyful memories sooth our aching hearts . Mother and I are keeping the family in our thoughts and prayers ♥️

Condolences to the Johnson family. Hendersonville has lost one of its special citizens who did so much for our community.

Barry and family, Sorry to hear about about Mr Johnson's passing.You all are in our thoughts and prayers.

Prayers for family

I had the good fortune of getting to know Susan during her relocation process 15 years ago and we connected on many levels. Her passing is such a loss for so many people. May our heavenly Father console all who miss her.

Brianna was one of the kindest sweetest women I had the honor to know and She was the embodiment of a true Provb 31 woman . The love Cory and her had was truly evident to everyone around. Her lovely spirit will live on in the lives of her children and I pray Cory and the boys and her precious little girl will feel Gods presence and comfort during this time.

I enjoyed working with Darnell. Prayers for comfort & peace for her family & friends...❤

With heavy hearts we offer our sincere condolences to our two Doctors Das over the loss of your dear mother.

Your company was always so pleasurable Will be remembering the Christmas get togethers as a special time. Sorry not to have seen you this past year. Fond memories always

Cory, you and the kids are in our thoughts and prayers. May God give you the strength to carry Brianna's memory forward.

Praying you will be surrounded by the peace that passes all understanding.

Prayers for all the family.

When I think of the parents of orchestra students who were always involved with school activities, when I was a teacher, the friendly face and huge laughter of Ron always comes to mind first. What a wonderful, warm and wise presence he was, while at all school functions when he and Francis were there with son Clif. Many great memories of a great man and his family. What a legacy he left behind for many people! I am so glad that I knew him.

Darnell was the sweetest nurse I ever worked with and always had a smile! Praying for you, Ken in the coming weeks..

Ken, we are so sorry for your loss. Darnell was a wonderful person! Our thoughts and prayers will be with you. We are glad she is out of pain.

My love and prayers to you all.

So sorry to hear of Mr. Johnson’s passing. I first met him as a child while growing up in Canton. He was an outstanding person who would do anything to help others. His memory will remain, but he has gone on to be with the Lord. My heart and prayers go out to his family that God will provide all with comfort, peace, and strength in the years to come.

I will miss you. RIP my friend until we meet again

Brianna, sweet girl, you were always so kind. Thank you for sharing your light with us all. Your words and kindness reached so many. Your smile captivated but your loving heart radiated. Your faith in the Lord was inspiring and thank you for continuously inspiring so many of us. I will forever hear you say; "Iron sharpens iron, yall." Praying continuously for her loved ones, precious children and Cory.

I'm very sorry for your & your family's loss, betty.

Very sorry for your & your family's loss, Betty.

Ken, We are so sorry to hear of your loss. May God be with you during this difficult time.

Eternal rest grant unto her, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon her. May she rest in peace. Amen.

So sorry for your loss. My prayers are with you and your family

God Bless this family in its time of need.

Susan's parents, Bruce and Noleta McNeal, were a very special part of my couch family for many years. I loved them dearly. Will be in prayer for her entire family.

Oh Brianna. The days we had together working with Isbey will never be forgotten. We saw each other at our best and worst, the difference is you kept a smile through it all. Your laugh was contagious as well as your smile. You cared for everyone so deeply and you loved the Lord with your whole heart. You were such an amazing mama and wife, and my prayers go out to your sweet babies and Cory. You will never be forgotten sweet friend. Until we meet again.

We are so sorry for your heartbreaking loss and pray that God will comfort the Brevard and Justus families. Brianna was a delightful young woman and leaves a wonderful legacy.

Praying for your family. Brianna was a love, and a positive person, so grateful she is walking with Jesus. Heaven's gain and a great loss here! God be near as you walk this path of grief. I will remember my last hug with her in the dugout during baseball this summer, I had a grandson on the opposing team and went to greet her. I commit to staying in prayer for your family now and in the days ahead. God be near, cry out to Him daily.

When our kids were young we were involved with many of the same extracurricular activities. I so enjoyed her irreverence and sense of humor. I am so sorry for your loss .

This breaks my heart. Susan and I were classmates in high school and attended the same church. She was so kind and smart. My thoughts and prayers are with her siblings, children, and grandchildren.

Brianna was such a beautiful person. My prayers to her family as they mourn the loss of a sweet lady.

Spending any time with Susan, one could sense the caring and compassion in her nature; not surprising that in response to challenges in her life -she poured herself into helping others. Praying for healing and peace for her family and loved ones.

So sorry to hear of this loss. Our prayers with the family. May our Savior give you His divine peace and comfort!

Thumpy and family you are in my thoughts and prayers. I’m so sorry for your loss.

Always enjoyed being with Carolyn. A really sweet lady who was fun to talk to. She will be missed. Good memories will help us never forget her.

I worked at Asheville Eye Associates with Branna. She was the wellness coach and always had words of encouragement to share. My heart felt sympathy goes to her family. She was a good one.

Was so sorry to hear of Carolyn's passing. So enjoyed talking with her at the Boiling Springs Book Club and when several of us would just get together for lunch. She will be missed.

Sending love and peace to all who loved Susan. We were able to witness Susan’s love for her grandchildren and the light they brought to her eyes. She was a kind and welcoming member of our community and she will be missed. May God bring those who miss her peace and comfort.

My prayers go out to Cory and those precious children. Brianna touched the hearts of so many by showing us her love for her high school sweetheart and their beautiful children. She had a passion for showing others how to live healthier and have financial freedom but most of all, she showed us her faith in God always. Eventhough we may feel cheated that she is no longer with us here on earth, God had greater plans for her. See you on the other side sweet mama!

Janet and Moon Mullins

Our love and prayers are with all the family during this difficult time. Will always remember Ron's smile and sense of humor, and we greatly appreciate his service to our country.

Thinking of you.. David, Christine, and Hunter Rogers

My Dad, the late Francis Huntley from Fairview in east Buncombe county, was also born in 1921 and also served in the Army Air Corp. in WWII. He was on the island of Tinian and was part of the ground maintenance for the Enola Gay and other B29s. Such a small world! Perhaps he and Mr. Collins met some time over the years at a reunion. True American heroes. I realize that more every day after what happened January 6 at our precious Capitol. They gave up part of their youth so we could be free.To the family of Mr. Collins my deepest sympathy. Gerry Huntley. 828-318-4013. gerryh1947@yahoo.com

Prayers and my heart goes out the family. God be with you in this heartbroken time. God bless your family.

Very seldom in my 63 years of life have I ever met someone that no one, absolutely no one, had a negative thing to say about that person. Brianna was one of the few. Such a sweet caring person, always a smiling face, always ready to help someone in need and a person who dearly loved her husband and children and showed that love whether with them, talking to them or talking about them. I will miss our occasional chats on the computer but as I read the comments from others, I know that I will see her once again "in a little while". I pray for God's comfort because as humans we have no words to take away the pain of the loss of someone that touched so many people's lives always on a positive way. It is so difficult to quit writing about Brianna. There is just too many good things to say. God Bless those that she left behind..

Praying for God's comfort and peace for all of Brianna's family. So thankful that God made a way to see our loved ones again.

Day in and day out the fruits that she displayed at work showed the faith that she had in the Saviour she was serving. He called us to serve others and it was so obvious that is what she did. Praying for the family.1 Thessalonians 4:13-14 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him

In memory of Brianna….a beautiful gift from God to her family and friends.

Brianna was such a sweet and loving young lady. She had the world at her feet. We will miss you ❤️

Brianna was such an example and mirror of Gods love, kindness, and gentle spirit. She always had a smile on her face and such peace around her. I had the pleasure of working In Kids church at Living Water with Brianna where she poured her heart into serving those kids. It was important to Brianna to show her boys that serving your church and community was top priority. We pray for Cory and will continue to pray over God’s peace and love to surround each of you. Our hearts are burdened by your sudden departure on this earth. We know Brianna is surrounded by love and beauty as she is with our Heavenly Father.

Praying for a special healing peace to her entire family especially her husband and children . So sad her baby will never know her this side of heaven

I will remember seeing her and her kids at church service and her smiling face.

Brianna was such a sweet soul! She was a joy to be around on the baseball fields! She will truly be missed. Corey and family, we are praying for y'all and if y'all need anything please let us know

My heartfelt thoughts, prayers and deepest sympathy to Ronnie's family following his promotion to Heaven. He was one fine man. Our paths crossed many Sunday mornings when we were teaching in Children's Sunday School. And, of course, he was always there greeting in the vestibule. Take comfort in knowing that he is healed now, rejoicing in Heaven in the presence of the Lord. We will see him again one day for all eternity. May God's grace sustain you all during this time.

Brianna was a beautiful soul. ( Hugs and prayers

Ever since I met Ron I just knew he was the kind of friend that would have your back and stand up for you if you were right. We worked together for several years and he was a hard worker and made work fun. I will always remember him as a great friend. I couldn’t visit him in nursing home after COVID until a few weeks ago and he was very weak. When I left he reached out with a strong handshake. I left with tears knowing I would probably lose a great friend before I could get back. God bless Fran and his whole family.

May God bless you all through this tragedy... May it only bring you closer as she shines dwn from above... Till u reunite in heaven.

Amal & Family, We are saddened to hear of the passing of your mom. May her memory sustain you during this difficult time. She was beautiful!

May You RIP and know how many people loved you and your family.

Leland helped me out when I needed a hand, and I will always be grateful for that. We will miss him hanging out at the airport. We wish the family comfort and condolences.

Coury, there is nothing no can say to take away you suffering or pain. Just know you the boys and family are in our prayers if we can be of help let aunt Donna myself know. Love Uncle Gary

Dave & I grew up together in Decatur, IL, attended Dennis School and MacArthur HS. & Boy Scouts. What I remember most is 3 things about Dave: a marvelous sense of humor, a quick wit, and an ability to draw which caught my attention in 2nd grade and always amazed me. Live, love, laugh--above all, laugh! Red Hawk (Bob Moore)

I was one of a great many teens that frequented the Terrace Hill skating rink back in the day. Faye was always cheerful and polite and Vernon put up with a lot of our rowdy behavior. They gave a lot of young people a place to go where they were always welcomed. I still smile thinking about the memories from one of the few places in Hendersonville that represented good times.

I will always remember Ron — he never met a stranger and his kind personality and humor just made you want to be around him. When I taught Sunday School at First Baptist, he would make sure I had a cup of coffee and a laugh before class. I’ll never forget this precious man. My sincere condolences to his family and friends.

Grandma's light will shine for years to come in the hearts of so many that came to know and love her.

Dear friends, my heart goes out to each of you in the passing of Leland. You are in my thoughts and prayers. May God's grace sustain you all in the days ahead.

Mike Wanda and family. I met Faye many years ago at work and enjoyed spending time with her. She loved her family. I am so sorry for your loss.

Our thoughts & prayers are with you at this most difficult time. Marion County Senior Citizens, Inc.

The New England Air Museum, home of the 58th Bomb Wing Memorial, sends its sincere condolences to the family and friends of this true American patriot and hero. May he rest in peace.

Jim, I am so, so sorry you lost Debbie. She was such a sweet and thoughtful person, and always so supportive of everyone in our class. Your dedication has been outstanding, both to looking after Debbie, but also to our Sunday school class. We so appreciate all your contribution over these years. Please accept my sincere condolences for your loss. You and your family will be in all our thoughts and prayers and our hearts go out to you during this difficult time.

To the family, so sorry for your loss. David has always remembered that he, Furman and Connie Allison took that long trip by train together to Calif. for boot camp. That was 8-1-1952. Connie just reminded us that the anniversary is today.

Very best wishes for you and the boys, Carol. This came as a shock to Emily and me. God bless.

Memaw was the kindest most gentle loving person I know. I've been her hairdresser for 20 years and I Loved her dearly. She and Paps loved to tell me stories of going fishing with my family back in the day. Memaw treated me like family and she would call me on the phone just to talk. Sometimes I would go get them lunch or supper just because I Loved them so much. I will miss you Memaw but I know you're in a better place. Heaven gained another angel and I lost a dear friend.Mickey, & Rick my Prayers are with you both and if I can ever do anything for you just let me know.

I am so sorry to learn of the passing of Revonda. We were close friends back in the early 80's. I spent many wonderful hours with her at her home in Tracy Grove. Prayers extended to all of her friends and family.

I am sorry to learn of your loss. You have my sincere condolences.

Dear Gossett Family, So sorry to hear about the passing of Furman. He and Doris were dear friends. I was very blessed in knowing them and sharing a friendship with them when I lived in Etowah. May the Lord bless each of you, bringing you comfort in your loss. You had a wonderful father, grandfather, and brother. May God bless each of you. Love and prayers, Lorraine Emory Lambert

Alex, my friend, my heart goes out to your family who loved you dearly. My memories of you throughout the years will never be forgotten,we had so many laughs and reminiscing about our lives and fun times together. Enjoy Heaven!

Alex was such a great friend of my Mother. I remember the bridge games and all the fun they had. Alex & Carl & the others in the group were my mom’s second family. ❤️

Carol & boys, I was saddened to see of David's passing. Please know my prayers are for you and am thankful to have known David. What a treasure. What a moment when he met His Savior!

Pat was my Dad's supervisor at The Laurels when he was diagnosed with cancer back in 1993. She was the best and treated him with such care. She made sure everything was in order to make sure he continued getting a pay check. She was a class act and I always enjoyed running into her around town. My sincerest condolences to Elaine and her family.

Claudia and family: Was sorry to hear of the passing of your sweet Mother. May God give you peace in the coming days. Take comfort in knowing she is no longer suffering. Cherish the sweet memories and know you will see her again one day.

Claudia and Family. May you all feel the sweet peace of Jesus Love during this difficult time. Rosa Lee was a very sweet lady.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you all during this time of sorrow.

Our thoughts and prayers are with your family and friends in this time of sorrow.

RosaLee was an awesome aunt and great aunt to my son. She was the most kind hearted person you would ever meet. She loved her Lord and is at peace in Heaven.

Debbie was an example of a great prayer warrior.

Paula, Mary,Linda With our deepest sympathy, we will keep you in our prayers.

To the family of Mary Ellen Frier, Mary Ellen lived a beautiful, long, happy, loving life. Now that her time on earth has passed, she still lives in the hearts and minds of all of you who loved her.

When my Son, Brad Willoughby was a baby I asked God that when the time came for him to be married that he would have Christian and loving In Laws. With Christian in laws comes an awesome Daughter in Law. Well God showed out on this answered prayer with Debbie and Jim. Debbie was such a gracious lady who I know loved my son as if he were her own. Debbie and Jim not only accepted Brad, Phil and I have always felt accepted as well. There is absolutely no doubt Debbie is with God right now. And I will be forever thankful for the beautiful Daughter in Love I have. Larissa, you have an awesome legacy in memory of Debbie. With eternal love to the Sineath Family, Donna and Phillip Feazell

Janice was such a kind person. I remember riding my bike with my younger brother to Joan’s house in Frankfort, and her mother Janice was so sweet. Joan, Kevin, Cheryl, Erin and Matthew, our thoughts and prayers are with you. Love Robin, Chuck, William and Kelly

My Aunt Mary loved family. I have many fond memories of her, but one sticks out— her kitchen refrigerator plastered edge to edge with photos of children, sons- and daughters-in-law, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces, grandnieces, and nephews. Indeed, one had to guess at the color of that fridge… the photos covered nearly all its surface. Think of the number of times you use your fridge each day. Then think of the joy Mary Ellen got when she used hers, and of the many fond thoughts that (whether we knew it or not) flew our way on a daily basis. She will be missed.

Carol, Our prayers go out to you and your family during this difficult time. God has welcomed a faithful servant in to Heaven.

Ann , I remember your mother was always so kind and good to us kids at sleepovers. I’m sorry for your loss

With my heartfelt thoughts, prayers and deepest sympathy during this time following David's promotion to Heaven.

Prayers for all the family

My thoughts and prayers are with the family.

I cannot put into words how much the entire Anderson family meant to all the Hicks family. Our summers in Bat Cave are full of memories and wonderful times.

All those summers you and your family made special for us. Tractor tubes down the river, jeep rides up and down the mountains. I just found out. You were so special.

Steve was a kind, gentle giant who was never ashamed of the gospel of Jesus Christ. My husband and I worshipped with he and his precious family on many occasions. I know he is being held and was instantly HEALED as soon as his sweet spirit left his body. Godspeed The Comforter to hold you and your family up Tammey. You’re in our hearts, minds and certainly our prayers. John 14:2 In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also. And where I go you know, and the way you know.”

Steve loves his family so very much. I say love not past tense because his love is forever. That's what, to me, sums him up. A Christian man living and caring for all. RIP

With deepest sympathy and prayers. I remember Barbara fondly from my childhood.

Andrew, Heather, Ashton, Findlay and Mrs. Elder, Your family is on our hearts during this very difficult time. Prayers that you find peace in your memories of him. Andrew's Work family.

I will always remember how much fun Steve was in school, always laughing, and he was just the nicest person. Rest in peace.

Worked with Pat when she first arrived in Hendersonville, & oh my southern drawl some days was too much for her to understand.. :) Pat was a true friend.. will miss her smiling face.. and she certainly was one of a kind.. Love Christine Rogers

Sorry to hear of your loss.

My condolences and prayers for your family

Charles was my friend for most of my adult life. He was a good man and a good father. I'll miss him.

Linda I’m so very sorry. We never have our Mama’s long enough. Prayers for comfort during this difficult time.

She was a wonderful lady. She will be missed by so many.

Linda and family, sorry for your loss. We will be praying for you during this time.

Prayers to the family during this difficult time.

Tom was my cousin and during our childhood our families celebrated almost every holiday together. So many memories. I’m smiling now remembering when he took my childhood toys apart—and then miraculously put them back together! Or went after my poor kitty to pull her tail. He and I were about the same age and had fun together growing up. As an adult, I’ll remember him for his ability to fix anything and do it for you without your even asking, his creativity and insight, his knack for researching things, his love for his pets, his enjoyment of the outdoors, and his cooking skills and appreciation of healthy food. He liked to do things his own way— -but with such a kind and loving heart underneath it all. He should have lived longer but I’m grateful Kirsten and the family were there for him in his final weeks along with his friends and his wonderful neighbors. I will miss him and send love and sympathy to Kirsten, Karen, Enid (sister) and everyone who loved him.

Tim, Jennifer and family. Our deepest sympathies to you and your family in the loss of your precious Mother

A lovely tribute to an accomplished gentleman. Kindest thoughts to the family at this time.

This is an absolutely beautiful eulogy. So sorry for your loss. He sounds like he was a wonderful man.

Enjoyed travels and working with Max in Ecusta Marketing, He was liked and respected by all. Charlotte so sorry just heard about this today. Peace and blessings.

MY SYMPATHY TO THE FAMILY. I HAD A GOOD WORKING RELATIONSHIP WITH STEVE WHEN HE WAS A LAWYER AND A JUDGE. HE WAS ALWAYS A GREAT FRIEND AND READY TO HELP, THANKS ALSO FOR HIS MILITARY SERVICE.

As the interim rector at St. John in the Wilderness, I got to know Stephen and visited in his home where, as I recall, he grew up. A loving, caring man of God. May his soul rest in peace and may light perpetual shine upon him. Fr. Bill McCleery

Such a wonderful lady. I will miss her a lot. My condolences to Ken and the rest of the family.

Dear Arlo and Family: I just learned of Ted's passing and want to express my sympathy. Ted was my mentor and my friend for the sixteen years I spent in the waste industry in Palm Beach County, and he was an extremely important part of my life. I never got tired of the many opportunities to play golf together, to soak up Ted's wisdom and advice, to hear his "war stories", meet his many friends and generally and thoroughly enjoy Ted's company. I'm a pretty old man myself now - still working, by the way - and I continue to tell "Uncle Teddy" stories to my family, friends and employees. There is much to learn from Ted's anecdotes and humor. I greatly regret losing touch with Ted when my career took me to the Panhandle, Hawaii, Chicago and now, Long Island. I hope he knew that I loved him like a father. Best to you all, Mike

I go back to the early 50's with Greg and I have to say,He was one of my best friends forever.

All the ladies from the Women’s Guild at Immaculate Conception Catholic Church send our deepest sympathy to Jan’s family. She will be so, so missed by all of us. May God rest her soul and bring comfort to the family.

Steve we are sad to hear about the loss of your sister. Thoughts and prayers for you and your family.

Jan and Ken were our backdoor neighbors in Hendersonville. Jan was the kindest, most dear person and she will be missed. We were so blessed to have her in our lives for the time we knew her. Jan and Ken's families are in our thoughts and prayers.

I met David Owen about 40 years ago when I married his brother-in-law, George Hansen. We enjoyed many visits at the family home in Kentucky and also when David and family came to Tulsa for family get-togethers. He was a great brother-in-law. He was reserved, but when he did speak it showed his intelligence and sense of humor. I am so glad George and I visited David and AnnEtte in their lovely North Carolina home in 2014. David had transitioned into a pleasant retirement with many interests. We will always cherish the memories.

Ruben and I did not know Janice personally, only through her brother, Steve and he always spoke highly of her!!! She certainly touched many lives through all her volunteering. She will be missed♥️

We will miss Grandma Jan. We always think of her with her hands reaching out to give a hug, knitting something special or holding a glass of wine toasting life! Love, Cindy, Matt and Austin

He was always an accepting friend. The longer I knew him the more respect I held for him seeing his heart was what he lived by. Anyone that knew him is a better person for being around his example. Learning to love people and getting things done right. I pray God's comfort for Donna and family thru this difficult time.

Steve will be remembered for his service both public and personal. Over the years and during his time at the county’s inspection office, we always took time to speak to each other. With me being an electrician and him being a plumber, there was always a little ribbing back and forth. I always admired him for his commitment to public service, and told him so often. I’ll always wish we had spent more time talking about what we had in common and what we didn’t. Amy approached me years ago about my family genealogy and how it might be tied to hers. I shared what I knew about mine and how we were connected. She thought that was “so cool”. I cried when she passed, so suddenly. I really felt bad for Steve and Lance. Life’s that way though. When you least expect it, it throws you a curve. The legacy Steve left behind will continue as a tribute to his kind heart and passion for others. I’m glad I got to know him, and share a little life with him. Well done Steve, well done. .

I'm so sorry Tammy and my heart goes out to you and your family. Your Mom was my closest friend and I will miss her every day until we meet again in heaven.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I worked with John at 1242. I know he loved his family. God be with you .

So sorry for your loss. May God be with you both. I worked with John at 1242.

I am sincerely saddened by this news. He fought so hard. I’m so grateful Steve was my friend. May God Bless him . R I P my friend.

I worked with Steve on HSAD. His passion for making Hendersonville a better place for everyone inspired many people. His attitude and work ethic should serve as a role model to ALL future Hendersonville City Council members. Hendersonville lost a special friend!

We are so sorry for your loss. She will be missed. She was a blessing.

Linda, although I didn't know Don, reading his obituary makes me wish I had! He sounds like a wonderful human being who enriched everything he put his heart into. This community, this world are better because of Don Miller was here. With deepest sympathy, Debi

What a privilege it was to work with Mr. Franks as caregivers! He was a dear soul and we will cherish our time together and will hold the memories dear to our hearts. May God bless the family with comfort and strength!!! Love, Linda and Evert Potgieter

Clarice and Jackie, my deepest condolences to you during this difficult time. I pray for strength and courage for you and your family.

I am so sorry to hear of your Moms passing. I knew her as a lovely gracious sweet lady. My thoughts and prayers are with you all!

It’s a great honor to meet you Judge Steve Franks during our visit on 2017 and spend thanksgiving day dinner with your family. To the Franks family and friends our prayers and sympathy in this time of grief. May you rest in peace.

I was so sorry to read about Dawnine. You have my deepest sympathy. We were very close friends in High School.

Dawnine , was one of my Best friends in High School. I lost track of her after she moved to So Caroline, but she never left my mind. I told my Granddaughter about her and the things we did, We had many sleepovers and her Mother was one special lady. I haven't seen her since one of the high school reunions when she came and stayed the weekend with my husband and me. Dawnine , I will miss you and always love you., Pat Hale

Sorry for your loss. My heart breaks for you all. Your always in my thoughts and prayers. I love you all very much.

In loving memory of Aunt Marie. May she rest in Heaven. We will miss her beautiful smiling face.

Prayers for all the family, she will be missed.

To all the family, we are sorry for your loss. Prayers for all the family. Roy and Jessie Webb

We are so sorry to hear about Della. Esther and I worked with her at Diamond Brand for many years. She was the most sweetest lady you could ever meet.

So glad that I had the privilege of knowing mama Barnwell. She was a very precious lady, loved God, loved to sing and she knew how to sing! Praise God she made it. She will be greatly missed I know. Love and prayers for all the family.

Love and prayers for the family

Love and Prayers for the family.

She was my mother in law for many years. She loved her Lord and loved to sing. She treated her daughter in laws the same way she treated her daughters. She loved her family dearly. We will miss her so much. Fly high with the angels Mamaw and I will see you again some sweet day.

Clarice, we are so very sorry to hear about your great loss. John was a wonderful man and he will be greatly missed. We are always here for you if there is anything that you need. You and Jackie are in our thoughts and prayers.

We’re so sorry for the loss of such a dear woman! Prayers of peace and strength to all her family and friends.

Sweetest soul I ever had the pleasure of meeting. You will be missed . Love and prayers for family

It was an honor to be one of the caregivers for this precious man. I saw first hand how much he loved his family and his love for animals. My condolences to all who loved him and may he rest in peace.

Judge Franks was such an amazing man. His mother Margaret was a resident at Cardinal Care Center where I worked. When he was sworn in to become a Judge he asked could I arrange it to be done at Cardinal so his mother could be there. He was such a compassionate person, loved to joke, made sure his mother had the best of everything. I will truly miss him and will always remember his love and great conversations. Prayers for all the family.

Cindy was the sweetest person, with the warmest heart, biggest smile and such love for her family and friends. I am so thankful for the time I got to spend with her and to get to know her. Jennifer and family you are all in my prayers.

I'm sorry to hear of John's passing. he was a great guy we worked at walmart together for years. His family is in my thoughts and prayers. May you find comfort in your time of need.

I just found out about Gary's passing and want to express my sincere condolences to his family. Gary and I were cousins on the Merrell side of the family. When I was growing up at Fruitland, I saw him often, but lost touch over the years. Just before I retired from Blue Ridge Community College, I saw Gary with one of his grandchildren at an event at North Henderson. We talked about family and old times. It was really nice seeing and talking with him. My thoughts and prayers are with the family during this difficult time.

Your work is done, now may peace rest with thee.

Clarice and Jackie we are deeply sorry for your loss. You are in our thoughts and prayers daily for comfort and strength. Love you lots! Becca and Tony

It was quite by accident that I learned of Dr. Owen's death, and I am very saddened to hear of it. Dr. Owen was my chemistry professor at Murray State in the Spring of 1979. He loved chemistry and made it all right for me to love it, too. He was our "cool" professor, the first of the teaching generation to bring demonstrations into the classroom. I am a chemistry professor now and am contemplating retirement. But Dr. O will always remain my inspiration, and my cherished "cool" professor.

We are thankful that John was our next door neighbor for 20 years. We felt safer knowing he kept a keen eye on things around the neighborhood. We enjoyed chatting with him in the back yard and when he would leave he would always say,”Have a good one!” Clarice and Jackie,we love you and are praying you experience peace that passes all understanding.

My father and mother (Uncle James and Aunt Mary to David and AnnEtte) have many wonderful memories of meeting with David and my cousin AnnEtte in the Smoky Mountains and visiting their home. My mom's favorite is that after listening to my father catch him up on events, David interjected, "And now it's time to hear about Mary." Thank you, David, for making my mother laugh! Two memories that I wish to share reflect David's scientific curiosity, dedication to learning, and positive Christian faith. A few years ago, David learned that I was teaching 5th graders math and science. He felt that this was such a good age to "hook" these children - to get them excited about what math and science offer. David wrote a lesson on the Fibonacci sequence for me and provided all the materials. What a blessing! And the lesson had the desired affect! Last fall, my husband and I were able to meet David and my cousin AnnEtte at Lake Junaluska. David and AnnEtte showed us the smaller chapel that reflects the Celtic Christianity and shared the positive aspects of faith that it embraces. It was a beautiful day that focused on family and nature in the backdrop of a setting dedicated to faith in our Maker. I am grateful for David's life, for his marriage to my cousin AnnEtte, and for all of their family (biological and spiritual). And I am grateful for David's positive Christian faith and his constant curiosity and appreciation for life. David will be missed here, but greatly welcomed by those he is joining!

I am so sorry for your loss, Clarice. You & Jackie are in my thoughts & prayers.

My deepest condolences to Clarice and Jackie. John was a fine gentleman and will be greatly missed. He was always so welcoming and friendly to be around. Prayers and peace to you doing this challenging time.

Clarice, I’m so very sorry to hear of your loss of your husband and your house. You and your family are in my prayers for God’s comfort to each of you. I will continue to pray for you as you face the coming weeks.

prayers to all

I'm so sorry for the loss of John. I worked with him at Walmart for many years. He was a kind and caring person, always smiling! He will be missed! My prayers are with his family and friends. May God bring you comfort and peace.

Linda, So sorry to hear of Donald's passing. I will always have geat memories of seeing the two of you in my classes at the NC Arboretum. Both you and Donald's love of nature has been very inspiring to me and I'm sure also to others.

I worked with John for many years at Walmart. He was a good friend, hard worker, and very smart. Sending prayers for his family and friends. Rita Gilbert

I am shocked and so sad. I just found out about Cindy. She was such a lovely and loving person. My heart goes out to the family, especially Jennifer and Joe.

Jennifer and family, much sympathy for the passing of Cindy. She helped me learn that folks from above the Mason Dixon line were OK. I found her to be a caring daughter, loving mother and a true friend to animals. She formed a strong home. I remember that home getting stuck in the middle of Bearwallow Rd for awhile, but Cindy steered it to a firm foundation. Rest in peace Cindy, you have steered a positive difference in the people you befriended.

Jennifer,Joe and Keith So sorry to hear about the passing of Cindy. She was a great person and I am so glad I got to know her. 0 Prayers for all.

Cindy had the greatest laugh and her smile lit up the room. Love and deepest sympathy to her family

Joe,Jennifer and Keith. We are so sorry to hear of the passing of Cindy. She was such an amazing lady. Always a smile on her face. Our thoughts and prayers for you and your family. ❤️ Waynette and Jonathan

I will never forget Cindy’s always smiling face and caring heart. Just thinking about working with her and Jen during a flooring reset that first time I met them both, brings back a cherished memory that warms my heart. They both saw something in me that I could not and almost instantly made me a part of their family. Cindy you changed my life and I cannot thank you enough....my heart is deeply saddened and I hope you know that I always appreciated and loved you.

The peace and beauty of the North Carolina Mountains mirrored David’s persona.

Our hearts are filled with such sorrow. And we pray that peace and comfort may be found in all the memories of David we have shared through the years. Our heartfelt love and prayers to all.

David was a very accomplished man but also a very humble man. As his neighbor, you knew by speaking with him that he was quite intelligent, but he was never boastful of his accomplishments. Rest In Peace, David, you earned it.

I had the honor of being on the same team in pool league. He tried harder than anyone I have seen. I miss him already. Tim Cone

Carolyn and family, I just found out today. My condolences. My former boss, mentor and friend, Thank you.

I am truly sorry for your loss. Greg will be missed and he will never be forgotten at AP. I will always remember his wise advices. May his soul rest in peace.

To my UG: I am heartbroken but have loving memories from childhood into adulthood & am sad I didn’t get to express how important a role model you were to me and later to George. All our fun dancing nights, our visits to California so so many more! The admiration and respect goes deep and the only consolation is that I know how happy a life you made for both you & Nancy. I miss you and will always always love you.

My deepest condolences to you and your family. May you find comfort in all the special memories shared with Greg. He will be fondly remembered and always in our thoughts and memories at AP.

Remembering David, neighbor and friend who taught me not to call my precious stones “rocks”. Will miss talking with you and I’m sorry I called you ‘Hank’ when we first met. Rest In Peace David

We are so saddened to hear of the passing of Greg. He will be truly missed. Our condolences to Nancy and his immediate family. Rest In Peace Greg.

Bob and Family- I am so sorry for your loss. May God bless you and provide strength during this difficult time.

To my Brother Greg, who I loved with all my heart, Greg Al's was so loved by my husband Charly. who was a nig, brother, surrogate father & a best friend. Greg was with us through out our lives since I was 10 years older than him. He was a brilliant & successful man, and we loved him always & will miss him very much. I LOVE YOU my kid brother Greg@ We will meet again & now you are with our Mom!

I'm so sorry to hear of his passing but I found the Doctor who brought me into this world so many years ago, who knew? May his spirit and love of life be lifted up and praised and shared with all who have passed and knew of him before. I hope the best for the people who he left behind and my sincere condolences go out to all those left behind, I just wished I had gotten the chance to get to know the man who brought me into this world, Thankyou and RIP

He was the Doctor who delivered me in 1959

Bob and Family - my sincerest condolences on the loss of your father.

Millie was such a wonderful neighbor. I always hoped she would be outside when I was coming or going just so we could greet one another. I knew she was there for me and she knew I was there for her (like the day with her golf cart) and that was peace of mind. I didn’t learn of her passing until one hour before her service today my heart goes out to each of the family members because I know she was a fun, loving person and I know you will miss her greatly. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this very difficult time.

I want to send my deepest condolences to Doris' family. She was a great lady who always had a special place in our hearts.

Justine, Kimberly, Andrew, and Danielle would like to express our condolences. Many great memories!

Love you

Millie You inspired me, and helped me, and gave me strength. You are the original strong independent woman. Rest in peace with Joe at your side.

Glenda, I am so very sorry to hear of your son’s passing. My heartfelt sympathy to you and the rest of your family during this very painful time. May God give you all peace and comfort.

My Mommy....my mommy, peace be still.

Thought I already did this , but oh well! My mommy in the early years was the best! I will never forget the first flower garden we planed, sweet peas. Saw my first snake doing this, dad thought he was helpng so smashed the garden with a glass...boy did I yell at him! My mom always cared for me when I was sick...after I moved away from her I would cry for her when I was sick. She would play games with all of us in the neighborhood, giant steps, red light green light, etc (unitll Jennie ran bare naked for the ice cream truck jingling and came back covered in tar from the road, lol) the best was the songs she taught us to sing which I sang to my daughter, friends children and now my grandchild, the most reputable being, "the little brown sparrow" Things went crazy in life for mom , my brothers and sisters and I, yet I understood and always , always loved her! Just had to be from afar.

I am so sorry to learn of Millie's death. She was a wonderful spirit who I enjoyed being around very much. She was a no nonsense person with a great sense of humor. She will be missed by her family as well as the Spring Haven Community.

She was my step mother, she could cook, and I loved watching her do her hair when she was getting ready to go out with daddy , it was beautiful.

From all of us at Bee Hive, we are so sorry for Frankie's passing.

I'm so sorry for the passing of Gary. He went to school with my uncle Ray Lyda. He came through my grocery line at Ingles. God bless all his family during this time.

I am sad to hear of Gary's passing. He was such a nice person and I enjoyed working with him at King St county government.

Judy, David and family, sorry for your loss. Bill was a good friend toTony and I enjoyed working with him at GE.. I know he will be missed.

Prayers for Judy , David and family. Bill was a great guy, enjoyed working with him at GE for years. So sorry for your loss.

My little sister Mary this candle light your way and bring you the peace you deserve. I miss you so damn much. My life will never be the same without you Love, your big Sis. Sarah ❤️‍

Dawn Barton was one of the few people in this world that truly had a kind , loving, giving heart and that is hard to find in this day and time. She was always helping others putting her own issues and problems last. weather it was giving them a ride or just sitting and talking about their problems. Anybody that truly knew her has not a bad word to say about her. Everybody considered her a friend but she was more than just a friend to me. She was my rock my support and I am PROUD to say MY BEST FRIEND. She has been there for me when I needed her more times than I can remember. We all have issues in life we have to deal with (some bigger than others )but as she struggled with her issues her loving heart never changed . She was always a compassionate person with a bigger heart than most of the people I have meet in my lifetime. I loved her and will miss her more than words can say. She will always be in my heart and my mind. I will always love you Dawn. I hope you have now found the peace and happiness you have been searching for .

Earl was so good to me when he was working with my father at McAbee’s Auto Mart. I have very fond memories of him. He was a very gracious man and I extend my deepest sympathies to his family. God bless you all.

Gram, you were the absolute light in my life, and I will miss you forever. I cannot thank you enough for the love you showed me my entire life. you and grampy were the most wonderful grandparents there could ever be. I am so lost without you, I will miss our dinners together, our talks, and the time we spent together my entire life. Memories of roller coasters, Disneyland, Knotts Berry Farm, Universal Studios,and so many wonderful trips we made, our chicken dinners on the patio, the strawberry and goldfish plant, and asking to watch Annie, and Strawberry Shortcake over, and over with bean dip, and chips in tow. My love of CoCo, Kasey, and sweet Teddy bear Muffy, who I still miss to this day. Grampy in his green pinto taking me to Thrifty for ice cream, and letting me tool around on a golf cart at Meadowlark. So many wonderful memories flood my mind, that I will cherish forever. You were an angel on earth to me, and will forever remain my guardian angel forever watching over me. I am so at peace knowing that you are finally with Grampy as you loved him so much, and missed him terribly, and you are reunited with Aunt Bon, and Aunt Judy, Grammy, and Jim, who you also loved so much. It is that peace that will comfort me. I love you little Gram... and remember "Each day I live is a day I get closer to seeing you again" Forever in my heart... xoxoxo Jennifer

Mr. and Mrs. Fisher came into our lives by a Border Collie Puppy in 1997, we were home on leave (was stationed in Jacksonville FL with Florida Army National Guard flying helicopters) visiting my Parent's in Asheville where I grew up. We saw a small add in the newspaper (which we still have) advertising Border Collie Puppies. We went to the Fishers home and got a wonderful demonstration of herding by Mr. Fisher's dogs, we purchased a female puppy and named her Jen. She lived till 2012 a blessed 15 years of which over the course of those we visited the Fishers many times, they became and remain the dearest of our Family to this day. We actually got a second Border Collie puppy named Elly but sadly she lived only a short time. Mr. Fisher was a very special Man and I looked to him many times for advice, he had a deep kind spirit, his Wife Ms. Pat is an Angel as kind as they come. Mr. Fisher left an indelible mark on our hearts and souls and not just by his wonderful Dogs but by whom he was personally, always caring, always gentle and a Pillar of a Man that is rare ever seen today, God Rest His Soul, and he would say of his Beloved Border Collies, Job Well Done, "That'll Do".......... We Love and Miss You Sir...

Dear Charles & family, Betty was a dear loving lady! She helped me when I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2007. Betty was always there to give her lovely smile & help to everyone. I worked with Betty with Relay for Life for Fletcher's Relay. I don't know how she was able to do so much for all.Betty was an inspiration to all who knew her!

I was so very sorry to learn of the recent passing of Elizabeth Freeman. She was such a lovely, kind, talented, and thoughtful person. I will always treasure memories of her during our mutual affiliation with the Henderson County Association of Educational Office Professionals. Elizabeth was a role model of professionalism as a member of the office staff at the former Valley Hill Elementary School and Atkinson Elementary. May God bless, comfort and strengthen each member of her beloved family.

I loved working with Elizabeth at Atkinson Elementary. She was such a kind, sweet lady.

I didn’t know Gail personally, but had spoken with her on the phone and emailed her a few times about Norfolk Terriers, and knew about her through ANTA. She was very kind when she responded to my questions. I just learned of her passing and I will keep her and her family in my prayers.

MaryAnn Kuhn, devoted grandmother to my children, will be remembered with love by all who knew her. My heart is with her whole family as they mourn. Hail Mary, full of grace the Lord is with you; blessed art thou & blessed is the fruit of thy womb Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us now & at the hour of our death, amen. Rest in Peace & Beauty.

i loved you so much big brother going to miss you more than i can say love you

As a child Moma would get upset because instead of saying Carrie Belle I would say "Cowbell" but I thought I was saying it right. I have fond memories in Sunday School and getting to go to Aunt Edna's after church on Sundays. Carrie Belle was a true blessing to me. Elizabeth and Frances you are in my thoughts and prayers. Love, Betty

Betty Sitton Bryant

Ackie I am in shock after finding out you and Joanne had both passed in 2020. I just found out today 6/14/21. I had hoped, I guessed that you both would live forever, but am comforted knowing you will in Heaven...I could write a book about you both, but you will always be legends to me when I pass by The Esmeralda...To the family, I am so very sorry and send my love and condolenses...xoxox9

Dear Elizabeth and Frances, I was so sad to learn of Carrie Belle's passing. I know she has been very sick for a long time but that does not ease the sadness of her passing. I want you to know I am thinking of both of you and keeping you close in thought and prayers during this difficult time. She was a special lady and her obituary is a wonderful tribute to her life of service to others. Betsy Holland Smith

To Elizabeth's family I offer my sincere sympathy. A life well lived and so thankful for our friendship for many years and now to have the assurance that she will enjoy forever the One who gave His all to make her His child. She will be missed by all who knew and loved her, until we meet again.

My fairy godmother has been called to enjoy her eternal reward. No words can express what her love and support over the years have meant to me. AMA (Aunt Mary Ann) always planned special things for me and visited me no matter where I was living. And she welcomed me many times to her home, where she cooked extraordinary meals and made me feel so welcome. I will miss the way she so genuinely listened and cared about me. The way she was as a wife and mother made me want to have that same kind of marriage and family. Although I could never dream of being as good at it as she was! She will be dearly missed, but now I believe I have a guardian angel in Heaven. Love you so much, AMA!

Eddie I love you and I will miss you I’ve learned a lot from you and will continue take what I’ve learned and apply it to my every day life. I will miss your jokes and funny comments .Love the Hartle’s

Sorry for your families lost . God bless you all at this time .

I first met Ralph and his wife Pat in Florida in the early 2000’s. Pat and my recently deceased wife Diane Mantho were childhood friends growing up together in Long Island, NY. We played golf together and it was immediately obvious that Ralph was a people person. We visited Ralph and Pat after they moved to NC . Ralph and I talked about golf . Pat and Diane talked about painting as they were both artists. I only wish we lived closer to them as playing golf regularly with Ralph would have been a wonderful experience. My heart felt condolences to Ralph’s children and grandchildren.

love all

So sorry for your loss

I Will Miss you Love Jimmy

Eddie will be greatly missed. Condolences to the family.

As a small child growing up in Shaws Creek Church, a precious lady I remember so fondly made each person she encountered feel special. When I was 10, she took us to Ridgecrest for a Mission conference. 54 years later, that memory is so vivid in my mind. She truly was a virtuous woman who loved God with all her heart. I’m thankful for the times I was privileged to share with her. She is home.

my brother loved him very much sorry he has left me i remember when we were small i took a picture of him ,Sharon, and Robert he had his hand in my sisters potato chips bag getting her chips it so funny

Desarae and family I am so sorry for your loss

Mary Ann brought warmth, love, big smiles and delicious food to all of the family events I was fortunate enough to share with her. Her beautiful family is truly a testament to the strength of her love and focus. My condolences to her lovely family through whom her light shines.✨

I first met Ralph in 2016 when I joined the Opportunity House Golf League. He was a friendly face that I needed being new to the area. Ralph encouraged me when I was down and was playing terribly, he was the first to give me friendly grief when I played well. I will miss his 1st hole jokes, his advise in the fairway, and his genuine friendship. Ralph was a good man, a good friend, and I will miss him dearly. God's Speed Ralph. "Until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of his hand."

I first met Ralph and the rest of the "Stanley Steamers" (see Dick Harmon's post) in the late 1950s as skating partners at the Hub Roller rink on the Northwest side of Chicago. These young men treated me very well, and as a shy young woman, I even felt like they put me on a bit of a pedestal. I remember going to one of Ralph's military balls when he was at Northwestern University. Bob and Dick were groomsmen when Merritt and I married, and we remained lifelong friends with Ralph, Bob, and Dick. Merritt went to school, played baseball, and graduated from Taft High school with Ralph and the other "Stanley Steamers". Even after Merritt died, I remained good friends with Ralph and Dick and enjoyed frequent calls from both and group Facetime chats. I will miss Ralph and wish my most sincere condolences to the Adams family.

Elizabeth and Frances, we are sorry to hear of Carrie's passing, but we know she has been in declining health for a long time. We are so thankful that we got to know you dear folks during the years we were members at Shaws Creek. Carrie was such a dear and special friend. We know you will miss her so much, but take comfort in knowing that she is rejoicing in Heaven in the presence of the Lord with a perfect and healed body. We send our thoughts, prayers and deepest sympathy to you. Our Love, Alton and Lynda

There were six of us to start. Merritt Lewis (Louie), Henry Russel (Buzz) and Don Schreck, the two boys and me. Dick Harman, We all graduated from Taft High School in Chicago Illinois in 1952. Ralph along with his brother were Honor Roll students. They were two peas in a pod. It was said that Ralph could just open a book and pass the test, whereas brother Bob had to study hard and long to get the same grades. One year, don't remember exactly what year, Ralph needed a winter jacket. He told all of us if we buy them as club, we could get a discount so we bought six green jackets and called ourselves "THE STANLEY STEAMERS" . My brother was an artist and made us a logo. A great big puff of smoke on the back of our jackets with the words, “STANLEY STEAMERS" in the middle of the smoke and then he drew us a picture of a real Stanley Steamer automobile which we put put on the front of our jackets. We did many things together and became life long friends. Ralph and I played golf at his favorite golf course a few years ago. At our age the ball didn't go very far, but he always managed to hit the ball straight down the fairway. Since then we shared our memories over the phone almost every week until his passing. We had good memories of our youth and even though our path in life took us in different directions, we remained good, no, great friends. Louie, Buzz and Bob were the first to turn in the jackets, and now Ralph has decided to turn in his jacket, too. I will miss you Ralph. You served well my friend. Dick

Ralph and I were friends and golfing buddies for over 15 years. We always rode together and he told me many stories about landing on bouncing decks during storms. He was my hero. Rest In Peace my brother.

To Carrie's family, So sorry to her of her passing. Enjoyed working with her many years at First Union. She was a lovely precious lady. An inspiration to me. May God bless and comfort you all.

Frances and Elizabeth I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Carrie was one of the most kind and sweet persons I have ever known. I remember our working days together that was First Union at that time. Love both of you.

To JoAnn’s family I went through High School with JoAnn and was a band member with her. She also was a dear friend. Several of us spent a lot of time at he home. I remember one morning at Band class, as she walked into the band hall she came up to me and with tears in her eyes, she said “Tommy I wreck my Car last night.” Bless her heart she looked so very sad. She told me what happened and that she was not hurt. After school we went different ways and I did not see her for several years. And that was at a class reunion. I was very sad when I hear that she had left this world, but after reading her obit, and realized she had a very full life. God bless all y’all.

I’m so sorry to hear about Chuck. We had so many good times at his home in Fletcher NC. He was a sweet man.

If you ever needed a story or a joke - Ralph was there. If you ever needed advice on what club to use or how to play the rough - Ralph was there. If you ever had a life question - Ralph was there. With age came his wisdom. He was born with the kindness and humor that made him uniquely Ralph. I will surely miss Ralph being there for us all. Great guy. Great life. Rest In Peace.

Charles and family, we were so sorry to hear of Betty's passing. We never have the right words to say at times like this but please know that you all are in our thoughts and prayers. We loved Betty, she always was so welcoming and she was always smiling. She is in no more pain or suffering now. Hold on to those precious memories. What a Glad Reunion Day That Will Be....

I’m so sorry for your loss. Uncle Ralph was an amazing man and my Dad looked up to him after his Dad passed away. I remember him calling us every Christmas and sharing stories with him. I’m so sorry we couldn’t be there but our love, thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

we were saddened to hear of Kens passing He was an excellent worker while employed at Apple ridge farms in Dana. Our prayers for his family Wayne, Joann Pace

You will be missed Roger, Dan and I thought the world of you. Sri you in Heaven someday

I only had the pleasure to meet Ralph one time, and that was at his twin brothers funeral. He was an absolute delight to chat with and hear stories of his time in the service as well as the shenanigans he and his brother pulled on people. I do have to say that he threw me for a loop at his brothers funeral, seated in the front row of the church, I had to take several double takes. He and Bob were IDENTICAL Twins! I am so sorry for your loss, he was a truly neat guy. Thoughts and prayers go out to the entire Adams family.

My hole life you were there for me Christmases ,birthdays , not only were you my grandpa you were a fun loving understanding Friend I could always talk to play golf with I will miss you and love you so much I literally just talk to you on the phone asking when I was going to see you again you replayed really soon now I sit here wishing I was able to turn back time and give you one more hug rip grandpa love you and wish I could be there to say a few words I love you always your grandson Joshua

Karen, Donna Cheryl, I am deeply saddened and sorry for your loss. He was a very dear man whom Linnie and I adored. I will miss his positive energy, his stories and jokes. He was a great a kind and kind man . My love and prayers are being sent for healing.

May God grant you peace and a swift entrance into heaven. — Nephew Matt

Sending Prayers to each of you during this difficult time!

I am deeply saddened to hear of Betty's passing. She was one of the strongest people I have ever met. Over the years she was a true inspiration and great example of Faith. Many times I would confide in her and she always was able to let me know that God is the answer. She was truly a special individual and she has left a lasting impression on my life and many others that she touched. Robbie Isley

Betty was one of our Women of Hope for the Pardee Hospital Foundation. She was one of the First Ladies I met when I started working for the Foundation in 1998. She was a lovely lady who personified our Women of Hope of the Women Helping Women initiative. She will be missed greatly.

My deepest condolences to Donna's family. Donna was the very first attorney I worked with after moving to Orlando. I will always remember her tenacity when tackling anything. She lived life intentionally. Her warm and gentle spirit will be missed.

I can still visualize June and Hal dragging suitcases on an icy, snowbound, steep mountain lane in front of my home. They were headed off on another adventure.

Dear Sister, what a shock it has been. It still hasn’t sunk in. I love you and will miss you . I know we will be joined together again someday. I thank you for the great times and the best advice. Thank you for being the best big sis. Always in my heart ♥️.

I hope you and dad are together again and you are both pain free and living in paradise. We love you so much!

Jim, Lynn and family, you are in my prayers.

Lovely lady, beautiful voice, creative, committed to God and to her family

I was doing some ancestry research, and came across this beautiful tribute to a very talented women. I am Barry Hubbard of West Springfield Ma. My late grandfather, Robert H. Hubbard was brother to Rita's father. They were from Deerfield Ma. Sorry for your loss. I hope daughters and sons see my posting.

Gerri, Jean, Dee Dee, Jimmy, Very sorry to hear of Donn’s passing. You are in my thoughts.

The news about Donna came as a shock. I am sorry for your loss. I knew her from our book club. She brought energy, humor, and insight to our discussions and was a model of independent thinking and living. I will miss her presence.

I am so very sorry for your loss. She was a very dear friend when I knew her as an attorney and later in life as a great person. She certainly had a good life and she is now with Daryl, the love of her life❤️

RIP Mrs Ray. Prayers and supplications for Gilreath family.

I am so sorry Wayne. I remember how happy you was when she was born. The Love you had in your eyes for her just talking about her. God bless you friend. God can hung her for you daily now.

Henn Family, So sorry to read on the ACR class of 1973 Facebook page of one sweet, smart and smiling young lady, that I knew called Betty Yarborough had passed away. I saw her at a class picnic a year or two ago, and she still had that precious look and smile on her face and we had a good conversation, first time I had seen her since she graduated, now I know why, she has been one busy wife, mother, and grandmother and helping run a business, church worker, volunteer, you name it Betty was probably part of the group at Hooper's Creek. My prayers and sympathies for all of you. We all know she will have a new body and no more pain. Love in Christ, Ethel Jacobson, retired Librarian ACR High

Charles and family, we are so sad to hear this but so thankful for heaven. Betty was such a good friend to me all through our teenage years and I was in your wedding and she in ours. Charles, I'll never forget how much she loved you, even before you knew it!

Mary Jo’s family, So sorry for your loss. We worked with Harold and Mary Jo at GE., now they are together again. Cherish all the good memories you shared as a family. Sharon & Tommy King

Charles and family, I remember when my Daddy died our Mama didn’t know what she was going to do having never worked outside the home since they were married, but she came to you and you hired her on the spot. I will be eternally grateful for you helping her for the 20 years she worked for you. May God comfort each one of you. Betty was a sweet lady and will not be forgotten.

Charles, my deepest sympathy to you and your loved ones! Betty was such a beautiful person inside and out, she will truly be missed.

Charles, Alice, Bryan, Canissa, and to all of Betty's amazing grandchildren - we are praying for you all. Betty was such a loving and wonderful person and she will missed. She had a heart of gold and always had a smile and a positive attitude. She was a true example of a Christian Woman and she fought a good fight and finished well on this earth; but now her life begins. Thankful for God making us a way through his son Jesus Christ, Love and Prayers Steve and Michele King

I will miss my sis who took me on trips of my life time! I hope she's having the best trip of all! She'll be missed.

I remember hearing of her first cancer in middle school and seeing her in the stands after treatments at our basketball games. Always a Joy to see at church or plant farm. Prayers of King Jesus loving arms around this family during this time. He's welcomed one of his home saying a job well done!

Charles Alice & Bryan. My Love and Prayers are with each of you It has been a long time that Jimmy and Betty started this journey but they both are in the arms of God and healed of any pain. I am here for each of you.

Sending condolences to Mark's family. I am Neil's sister in law

Mrs. Corn was a real nice lady, we are praying for her family.

I had the honor of working with Don while at Thos. Shepherd and Son. Loved his stories and appreciated his advice how to fit in and work in Hendersonville as I looked to him as a very good resource. He was a true gentleman and knew the business well. Aaron he was very proud of you and all your work in the Navy as a Seal. He would always talk about you and we knew he was proud. I am saddened to hear of his passing as Don did get a second chance at life when I was working with him and he went thru the heart transplant. I also was with him when he lost his wife Paula ...,and although saddened and hurt...he somehow picked up the pieces and carried on for his family. The profession lost a good one! God Bless the Rummage family and may Don rest in peace and honor.

Prayers for you and your family during this difficult time.

Timmy was just a great, adventurous, wonderful son, father and brother Prayers for your family.

May Betty and all the family have the peace of knowing their loved one is in a better place, praying for the family.

Praying for family to have strength and peace in this hard times Love and bless all may the Lord be with you,

How nice she was to me and others Alice light will always shine.

We will miss Julia so much, she always sat behind us in church and anytime there was an event she was the first to volunteer to help. Her baking skills were amazing. We have lost a good friend, she will be missed by so many. Our prayers are with her family.

I'm glad we got be friends. I haven't talked to you in a while, but we made some pretty good memories! Sending my condolences to your family and friends. You will be missed!

Sending loving wishes to the entire family. Julia was a rock star. Her #NJStrong attitude in the face of cancer and all her health issues was admirable. We're all so fortunate to have known her. My prayers are with you all.

I’ve known Julia since the early days of her involvement with the motorcycling community. Words can’t express the our sadness of the passing of such a beautiful person. She was a friend of all who met her. I especially loved her adaptation to her South Carolina and North Carolina homes. After all, how can a North Jersey lady assimilate into southern culture without learning the peculiarities of the language? Julia did! North Jersey with a southern drawl. From Nancy and Doug Evans, we’ll miss you. To Gene and her loving Family our deepest condolences. God speed gentle lady.

We remember Timmie as a little boy. We danced in the rain to prove you wouldn’t catch a cold. In the years in between Tim became a man, a loving husband, and a good father, giving so much to be proud of and leaving behind the legacy of a beautiful family. No matter what our hope is, it hurts to be separated from the ones we love. We can choose to look at it this way: the last time we got to be with Tim is the longest time we will have to be separated from him. From now on we’re just counting down til we can be reunited. Much love to you all!

My heart goes out to you and your family at this sad time we love you

Love you all. ✝️

We are so sorry for your loss. Our thoughts & prayers are with you all.
