Gary and Vickie are loved members of our family and he will be missed. I will never forget him taking three little girls for a ride in his convertible, giving them all a thrill. So sad to learn of his passing and love and prayers to Vickie. We were glad to be able to be at his memorial via livestream.

Sam was a special person, He was our neighbor for a few yrs. he loved our dog Chico and would feed him treats. Sam loved country music especially Arron Tipping's. We would laugh at the crazy things Sam would say or do. We loved Sam and will miss him so much. He had the best heart. Wish we could be there to say good bye. RIP Sam our friend

Gary was a great friend of my Mom and Dad- Mel and Nancy Talenski. I met him a couple times and remember him as captivating with maybe a little mischief afoot. A lover of Mexican food :) Mom and Dad always talked fondly of Gary as a loving husband, good man and patriot. I know he will be dearly missed by his church family and friends. Sending my sympathy to his family and prayers for peace and comfort.

Roy Allison.....a life well lived. Our sympathy to Kenny and all the family.

My deepest sympathy for you and your family.

Gary & I have known each other for a number of years. Of that time, we exchanged many war stories of our time in the military. I remember stories of his time in "food service" and his time in broadcasting. Gary was easy to be around & lovable guy. I could go on & on, but I will close with the statement "Gary, you are Home at last". Your loving friend, Mel Talenski Shalom

Our deepest sympathy to all the family. Gary will be missed but never forgotten.

May God grant you comfort and peace in this difficult time. We're thinking of you.

To all the family of Earl. I am so very sorry for your loss. He was a good man. I met him at home depot what a great man. God bless all of you at this time. Heaven has gained a wonderful man

Our deepest sympathy to all of the Amato family.

Had the best smile, I remember his smile and sweetness even as a young girl. Many thoughts, prayers, love, hugs and precious memories being sent to the family during this difficult time.

I’m so sorry to hear of Gary’s passing, my prayers will be with your whole family as you travel this journey without him. It seemed we were always running into one another some place (even Feed and Seed) and it was such fun visiting with you both. All my love and prayers. Margaret Trees

We miss having Sunday breakfast's with Buddy, he was a Great friend and could tell a joke better than anyone I know. Loved hearing his weekly adventures as we shared ours as well. He was Truly a Great man and true Father.

I will always remember his smile and laughter..It was my pleasure just getting to know him..

We are so heart broken but we know JW is with our Heavenly Father. JWWas so special to us and he will be missed. Sending prayer of comfort to Pat and family. Love you.

Sorry for your loss, my prayers are with you Holly and the rest of the family.

I’m so very sorry for your loss. I will be praying peace and comfort over the family!!!!♥️♥️♥️

My deepest sympathy for the loss of your husband and father. He will be missed by all who knew him. May Earl rest in peace with the Lord.

We stayed at Walt's inn many times in the 90's and early 2000's until we moved to Texas. We always enjoyed every minute we spent with him. His retreat by the river was a great weekend getaway. I knew the inn had closed but didn't learn of Walt's death until 2021. He's still alive in our favorite memories of staying with him in the wonderful Bat Cave/Chimney Rock/Lake Lure area.

What I remember most about my Aunt Midge is her genuine smile and her laugh, such a sweet lady. Sending all of you our heartfelt condolences. Nancy and John.

Dear Pat, Suzie, Terry and Bonnie, We were devastated last year, when we learned we would be loosing JW much sooner than we were ready to. But now we realize that God had a place for him a few days ago, an he is now there with Him!....closer to Him than ever before! We hope that that is a comfort to you now, as it is for us. We hope that knowing this now can give you peace, as the same Lord wraps His arms around you to give you comfort. Please know that both you, Pat, and JW were such fun to be with through Shriner's and all those enjoyable meetings, activities and trips to support the Shriner's Hospitals for Children! We especially enjoyed meeting your three beautiful daughters grandchildren and many of your other friends at the fantastic 50'th anniversary party a few years ago. Wasn't that a wonderful event!!! JW sure had an loving impact on a lot of people, didn't he!! And what a worker he was, too! The Hendersonville Shrine Club could always count on him when anything needed to be done! His extremely hard work as co-chair of the Celebration for Children, to benefit the Shriner's Hospitals is to be commended! ...and he truly loved doing it all! Yes he was a very special man whom we will never forget! Don and I eadh send you our love and deepest sympathies at this very difficult time for each of you.

Aunt midge will be missed , kim and I are sending prayers and thoughts to all cousins and their entire families

Frances Stewart - Class of 1972. What an inspiring, wonderful - and tough - teacher, drama coach and mentor! Fond memories of going to Chapel Hill drama competition with ONCE UPON A PLAYGROUND, and YOU'RE A GOOD MAN CHARLIE BROWN and our senior play YOU CAN'T TAKE IT WITH YOU. Any classes he taught were not-to-be-missed and full of lively discussions. Thank you, Mr. Orr. I was blessed to have you in my life.

Condolences to you and your family Stevie. We love you and your Dad would be proud of the father you are. You are a wonderful person and I’m honored to call you my friend. God bless you and your family. Love Dan McCarthy and Family

Earl was a good man. You picked a good one Sis to be your mate and I was proud to give you (my baby Sis) away that day to such a fine man. Seems like it was forever ago but time moves fast. I will miss him but look for another day that will last forever. Love you Sis and hurt for your loss.

So sorry to learn of your loss. Know that you are in our prayers.

So sorry for your loss. Jean was a great lady and I know she will be greatly missed by her family.

Jean was a true friend to all who knew her, and brought joy to some many children. I feel blessed to have known her. My thoughts and prayers to all her family.

Pat, Bonnie, Terri, and Susie So sorry to hear about JW. All of you have been in my thoughts and prayers. My life has been enriched by having met him. Love you.

I remember he and your mom from the old days. They were a joy to be around. I know they will surely be missed. Glad they're together again.

I am so sorry Leslie, I know you are going to miss him. I haven't seen Jimmy in years, so I'm just going to remember the way he was , when I last seen him. He was always kind to me. You are in my prayers ❤️

Lots of good memories of Aunt Jean - especially the beach trips with the whole family. My condolences to Uncle Dale and the whole family.

I was John’s roommate freshman year at Colgate. Actually helped John and Barb elope. Ladder to the window and all that. Lost touch when John dropped out for a while. I wish Barb and family well.

I remember the old days well !!! He is with my mom and brother now.

May your memories and faith bring you and your family strength and comfort during this difficult time! May God bless you!

Jean was a wonderful friend to my mother Thelma Parton over the years. Sorry for your loss.

We loved mrs. Jean and yalls family so much .yall are in your prayers and mom and i plan to be there . love, Tiffany and Kathy

I have many memories of Pauline. I guess memories of her at Elks Pool are some of my favorites. I know loosing Everest has really been hard for her. Every couple deserves to be as Happy as they were. My Sympathy goes out to her Children, especially Sweet Laurie! Rest In Peace!

Sorry to hear of Steve's passing my condolences to you and the family

We are so sorry for your loss of Ms Jean. She will be missed by many. I wish we could attend the services and be there for the family please contact is if you need anything. Sidney and Martha Pruitt family.

Once Mama Jean loved you, she always loved you. I disappointed her many times, but she never once failed me. Simply the greatest woman I've EVER known. I love her forever

Praying for you all -- may God grant you comfort and peace as we remember the good times shared with your father, your grandfather, your husband, our friend--Steve. He always had some pearls of wisdom to share that we will treasure. He will be dearly missed.

I will remember Carol's sense of humor, her humility, and her love for her family. Oh! and her adoration of Mr. B, Esquire. Jeanne gave unprecedented care and her service to her beloved sister makes her a hero in my book. I was lucky to know them both.

Heavenly Father, please wrap Your arms of comfort around Steve’s entire family at this time and replace their pain with peace that only You can give. Amen -You will all be in our thoughts and prayers in the difficult days ahead. ❤️

We’re so sorry to hear about Steve. Sending prayers.

I'm Late As Usual, But Deeply Saddened At Patty's Passing. We Went Thru 12 Years Of School Together . Joe & I Used To SCUBA Dive Together. Patty Was Always A Good Friend... My Prayers Go Out To The Family.

I met Judith on Skype six years ago. Her Italian was better than my English, but we found a lot of things to share. Books above all, her love for Italy and mine for the US. We met every week, and year after year we shared our life, our problems and our happyness. We met in Bologna in 2017 and I remember her running outside the station to hug me. We had a great day , as you can see from the picture. I'll miss her, her silent sweetness, her quietness. Love Judy, Anna

Joan, my prayers to you and your family. I never met Steve but know he had a huge heart as he shared you to give time and talents away from family in service to our Red Cross mission. Grace and peace of the Lord be with you all. Steve's light will forever shine!

With the saints give rest, O Christ, to the soul of your servant Steve; where there is no pain, nor sorrow, nor suffering, but life everlasting.

A loss such as this makes it seem the earth has shifted on its axis. Sending heartfelt condolences and wishes for strength and peace as you navigate this new version of your world. May your memories be a blessing!

May memories bring you strength and comfort! Thinking of all of your family at this difficult time. Nancy Sigmon

Glad for the opportunity to see Steve on my trip. Continued prayers for the strength of the entire family.

Dear Stacey and Family, Grace and Peace from our Risen Lord Jesus. We grieve with you on your father's death. May you know the love and comfort of family and friends, and especially of our caring Lord. In Christ's love, David & Diana

Aunt Pat, Bonnie, Terri, and Susie, It’s hard to know what to say at times like these. I love you all so much and want to be able to comfort you in some way. I want you all to know I looked up at Uncle JW with so much pride, love, and respect. He was a wonderful uncle and a loving caring husband, father, and grandfather. His life mattered to the people who knew and loved him. From the moment he was born he was loved and adored by his mother, father, and brother. He joined the Army and served his country for 20 years. We all owe him a debt of gratitude for helping keep the country safe. He married Aunt Pat and they had three beautiful daughters; Bonnie, Terri, and Susie. Then came the grandchildren so the love and admiration for him continued on. I flew on a plane for the first time with Uncle JW. I was 5 years old and I hope he saw what Bonnie saw when I took my second flight with her. She said I looked like a kid in a candy store I was so excited. It has been an honor having Uncle JW in my life. I will always hold him in my mind and heart! He believed in his lord and savior so I know he is flying high with angels in heaven and walking the streets of gold with god. Love forever, Wanda

Thinking of you all as you bear this loss and holding you in my prayers.

Blake, Mo and Lauren, Words can never express what Buddy meant to our family. He is the center of so many wonderful times and memories here in Georgia and there in North Carolina. There is no doubt there is laughter in Heaven right now because your Dad is there. He was a good man. We are always going to miss him terribly. Please know we will be praying for you all. We love you all so much!

My

We love and miss you very much.

Judy will be greatly missed. A fond memory is her laugh...it was so contagious.

What a wonderful dear friend Judy was. I loved her laugh...it was so contagious and so frequent. It was always fun when Phil & I visited Joe & Judy because good food was always on the list; great discussions, and comparing our bird lists. She will be greatly missed.

Gaby, my heart is aching for you and your family. I will remember you in my thoughts and prayers. I remember all the wonderful stories of your beloved George. You two were so in love always. I am sending you hugs and love dear friend. Joy

Dear Lois, it is April5, 2021. I don’t know if you will ever see this but was so sorry to see that Jimmy had passed away. Have thought about you over the years. Hope you and your family are doing welll. Would love to hear from you.

I had the privilege of knowing and working with Don at Aetna back in the '70s. In 1973 I moved to London and unfortunately lost touch with he and Ann (who I did meet once right after they got married, I believe). He was a supportive boss and good friend. My sympathies to his family on his passing.

Pat, Bonnie, Teresa, Susan, and Family, We are blessed to have known JW. He was always smiling. We are forever grateful for his service in the military. We are going to miss him. We are keeping all of you in our thoughts and prayers. Jay & Carolyn Alley

Buddy- You were absolutely the best brother a sister could ever hope for. You were never too busy for me when we were growing up. You taught me how to have fun. Your whole family can't wait to see you again. You are missed by many. Love you so very much ❤ Sylvia

So sorry, Gabi and family -

Aunt Evie was an amazing lady with so much grace. I will remember her so fondly how she and mother would giggle about the simplest things. June, Lucy and Anne have so much to be proud of for their mother's accomplishments. My heart goes out to all of you and your families.

George was such a kind and loving person. Gabby, we are so very sorry for your loss. We pray for you often and are glad to help in any way possible.

Buddy, Thank you for being such an amazing grandpa and father. As well as a father in law, thank you for everything that you did for all of us. We are going to miss you but we will see you again in Heaven. We love you.

Love and hugs. She was a beautiful lady. Love, Janet Israel Strickland, Danny Strickland, Megan and family

We are so sorry to hear of the loss of such a sweet lady. Judy will always hold a special place in our hearts. We remember her laughter and smiles and enjoyed working with Judy at the garden center.

Elaine truly loved her animals and was a huge animal advocate.

Shawna and Brandi, your mom was tough as nails! She cared so much for you, like when she called me out of the blue to make sure you were eating... she told me to make sure I kept an eye on you as your brother! Some of my fondest memories of your mom was when you would bring her by and I would get to just talk with her. When I talked to your mom it was like talking to family, time always seemed to go too quickly. The way she loved on my girls and always wanted to make sure they were doing good was nothing but Love! We loved her and we love you both like family!

Chris, I know it's a difficult time when you lose a parent; my condolences to you and your family.

What a lovely tribute to Bella! We are very sorry for your loss, and you are in our thoughts.

My time spent with Buddy was limited. We spoke occasionally at birthday parties, and once he rescued Mo, JC and I after a particularly silly night out on the town (my idea, I’m sure). Despite our few interactions, I came to know Buddy in a very unique way—through the eyes of his daughter-in-law. JC and I were childhood best friends; her family was my family, and I still consider her parents to be my second mom and dad. I remember when she started dating Mo, and seemingly overnight she went from zero to in love. It was so sweet to witness the beginning of their relationship, but looking back what I find most compelling about that time is the instantaneous, yet profound connection she made with Buddy. For every swoon-worthy story she shared with me about Mo, she must have shared three about Buddy. “Did I tell you the story he told us out in the garage yesterday?...” “Let me tell you what he did for Mo’s birthday last week”... “The other day, Buddy did the funniest thing...” I feel so privileged to know a version of him, just through JC’s stories. And, I can’t think of a better testament to his life. How many people do you know that would take their son’s girlfriend, not knowing if she would be around for the long haul, and make her a part of their family? Share his home with her? Treat her like a daughter? Buddy truly was a special man, the kind of man I hope to meet again one day. Take heart in knowing “No one is truly dead until the ripples they cause in the world die away” —Terry Pratchett. And, I have a feeling that the ripples Buddy caused in this world are not going anywhere.

Precious memories flood our souls, so many from Mt. Olivet Baptist have gone home makes Heaven more sweeter.

Precious memories flood our souls, so very many from Mt.Olivet have gone home makes heaven sweeter every day.

Billy and Doris Cox

We are so heartbroken over the passing of Buddy, our neighbor. He was always so happy, smiling, joking. Just an overall wonderful person to know. You will be greatly missed. Deepest sympathy to the family.

Shawna and Brandi I'm so sad to hear about Judy. We love all of you.

To all the family, I am so sorry to hear about this. Love & prayers to everyone! Mrs Judy will be missed a ton!

Edward was a truly gifted artist. His meticulous works were more than worthy of a gallery exhibition. Moving to the Maxwell family farm certainly provided a natural inspiration to create. His talents extended to the beautiful landscaping he designed and planted around his home, built in large part to bring his mom, Gussie, back to her North Carolina roots following the death of his dad, Russell. He was a devoted son. Ed certainly enjoyed the summer reunions of many first cousins, aunts, uncles, and friends. He was our designated ice cream maker!! He will be missed. Sending love and prayers. Kim

So sorry for your loss. Prayers for all..

Thought alot of Buddy. Will miss him.

Shawna, Adrian & family we were so sorry to hear about the loss of your Mom/ Grandmother. Sending prayers & love to you and your family .

Shauna, Brandi, Adrian, I am so sorry about your mother and grandmother. May God comfort you in this time of loss.

Buddy you are and always will be so very dear to us all. What a wonderful Father, friend and person you are! We will miss your smile and kindness until we see you again in Heaven.

Buddy, you were the best uncle anyone could ever ask for. We will never forget your kindness and wonderful sense of humor. We love you..... Karen, Richard and Luke

So sorry for your loss. You're in my prayers.

Blake, it has been many years from those days on the school bus. Sorry for your loss, but your dad’s legacy will live on through you. I lost my dad a day after you lost yours. Go figure only the Murphy’s and the Ball’s would know. Take care my friend and live on your dad’s legacy as it will be shown in everything you build in life.

I was blessed to have known Dean & have him as my brother-in-law. He was a precious soul who was always kind, caring & helpful to all who knew him expecting nothing in return. Dean was a loving & supportive husband to my sister, Pat and a loving father to his son, Donovan of whom he spoke often with great pride, definitely a "family man". I am so very sorry for each of your sudden & unexpected loss. Take comfort that he is now in Paradise, at peace, with our Heavenly Father where there is no suffering or sorrow. I will keep all of Dean's family & friends in my prayers daily as you grieve the loss of this precious soul. Remember that he will always live in your hearts & minds.

Praying for peace and comfort for the families of Uncle Bergen. Thinking of the rejoicing happening in Heaven!

I hate not knowing for sure what happens when you die. But I really love to believe there is a heaven past the sky. --Jamie Cirello We will miss you George. Love from Stu and Susan

Wishing peace to your whole family. Donation made to local food bank in Nashville, TN in honor of a wonderful man. Gabrielle, Stef, Allison and your families- my heart and prayers are with you all! Love, Benny and Amy Wolf and family

We have lost a good man! Buddy was a humble, talented and kind man. Our prayers go out to his family that he loved so much! Rest In Peace!

Buddy, you were a second dad to me. I will always be thankful for having the best father-in-law that a girl could ask for. You always brought a smile to everyone's face and that will always stick with me. We will see you again in Heaven one day. I love you.

Sorry for your loss. He will certainly be missed.

We are sorry for your loss. He will certainly be missed.

Buddy was the best brother in the world. We are heartbroken to lose him. I love you so much Buddy. I know we will see you again someday.

Those we love don't go away, they walk beside us everyday. Unseen, unheard, but always near. Still loved , still missed and very dear. Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, LOVE leaves memories no one can steal. Gaby, my deepest sympathy to you and your girls and family. My thoughts and prayers of peace are with you.

Dear Gabriella, honestly can not even express my sorrow for you and your family. Friday was talking with Mommy, and like always, praising you and George, how good you are to her. Now,it is hard to believe, that George left such a void in Your life, in Your girls life, in your Mom's life-anybody who knew him. Memories, yes, but memories can never be and will never be enough to lessen the pain. Love you, feel for you, pray for you. Not really Sisters, but Sis, here anytime I can make your pain any less painful. Love you.

We are so sorry to hear of passing of Buddy your dad and friend. He was a very talented and a wonderful friend. He was admired for his friendlyness and attention to details. He will surely be missed by everyone.

Prayers of comfort to all the family and friends.

Buddy you are truly going to be missed. Thanks for being such a wonderful brother.

Our deepest sympathies during this difficult time. Leslie was a very kind person.

Gene and Bruce Im so sorry. But God can use him more. I know you miss him. He loved the live he lived on earth. A good man.

While I did not have the pleasure of meeting Buddy, I can tell from his son Blake what type of father and friend he was to those who knew and loved him. Buddy’s love for life, his strong work ethic, congenial personality and helping his community will live on for years to come. I send my deepest condolences and sympathy to his family and friends. Buddy can now rest with the Lord as he continues to watch over all who loved him.

Uncle Bergen will be missed by all who knew him. Sharron and I are sending condolences to your entire family and will keep you in our prayers.

Love you so much dad. I just feel like the world should stop now.

So so sorry to see this and to realize that our great George has moved on. I really enjoyed George's wit, intelligence, humor, care for his family and real-world experiences. I had really hoped to spend more time diving with him and just hanging out and talking with him about Abraham and living pono life :). I'm so sorry that George is gone. We toasted several to him on the lanai Saturday night, so many fun times there with you two. Our love and aloha to Stef and Allison and all the grandkids as well.

Rita, so sorry for you loss of your father. He is in heaven with your mother and very happy. Prayers for you and your family.

Buddy was a constant for his children and I their lives and all of the people who loved him We had the privilege of working with him. He was always a joy. Lots of love to the family. Buddy will be missed.

Evelyn was an amazing and inspirational lady. My wife and I met her in Hendersonville in the 1990s, while she was serving as the President of Blue Ridge Literacy Council. She was a caring, intelligent and hard-working lady who supported our community with all her heart and soul. Her husband Bob adored the ground she walked on. They will be cherished by all those who knew. Heart-felt condolence to the family!

Our hearts are broken to learn of Buddy's passing. He was such a kind gentle spirit always, even as a kid. I will never forget him being one of the first to visit my brother, Steve and I when our dad passed away. Two years ago when Steve passed away, once again there was Buddy to share our grief. Buddy was truly one of a kind and he will surely be missed by our family as well as the many other lives he touched. I am bless to have called him my friend. I am sure that Steve was there to greet him at the Golden Gates and now they are fishing together on one of beautiful lakes of Heaven.

Rap was tough as nails and had so many great, funny stories. Took bullshit from no one. A special memory I have of Rap was when he gave me his recipe for Ricotta Cake. He had it hand written so nicely. He even ended the recipe with the words “Eat and Enjoy” It was one of the best cakes I have eaten. I hope your eating ricotta cake with Sunny in heaven! ♥️✝️

We'll miss you very much uncle burgin prayers for you as and all the family !

Betty

Gaby, so very very sorry! Please accept our condolences!

Prayers of comfort for the family and friends

Gaby, my thoughts and prayers are with you and the family during this trying time. Take comfort in your memories of all the wonderful years you had together.

We are so shocked and saddened to hear that George passed away. Every time I run through all the names of the 7 Greene siblings I still say Jack, George, Barbara, Jim, Marilyn, Tom, & Shayla. You are so missed and will be in our hearts forever Barbara and Ken Bradford

We love you George. Prayers to Gaby and family.

I am so very truly sorry…Tom has been despondent … Although I only had the pleasure of having met George a handful of times… He had an innate inherited knack for getting you to say things you didn’t even know you needed to get out… I guess that’s why he was mom‘s “number one son… “ He was a pillar of knowledge without being full of himself, humble yet snarky at the same time… It’s sort of like he could see in you something that you didn’t know you had and managed to get it out of you somehow… He was pretty cool… I know he saved the day at our wedding… Tom was pretty nervous and George’s presence was ever so grounding… I will be forever grateful for that memory. My deepest most heartfelt condolences to you, Stefany, Allison and your beautiful grandchildren

Gaby, Stephany, and Allison, We were so shocked and upset to hear about George’s unexpected passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this sad time. Hoping that the many wonderful memories you have from over the years will sustain you through your grief. Hugs to all of you, Susan (Farmer) Mason & family

We never imagined there wouldn’t be ONE MORE MAUI trip where we would share Mark’s famous mai tais on our lanai, grill food (you would always bring!!) and hang out for hours just enjoying each other’s company.... and sooooo many laughs.... I know Mark will miss all the good conversations while I would massage Gab. And all the diving fun and sharing underwater camera knowledge ... my heart breaks for the girls and grandkids whom will miss his sage advice ... so freely given. George was there for me in a big way when I was going through a really rough patch in my twenties ... he talked to me for hours and I attribute those caring talks to saving my life... many years later i thanked him ... he had done so much... but he didn’t remember. That’s the kind of heart he had - gave it all with no strings attached. We will miss you George!!!

Chris , thank you for your service, and your friendship. I am really going to miss seeing you, and having someone to give me a hard time. I pray for your family and friends that are still here, and I pray that you are no longer in any pain. I'm going to miss you buddy.

Sad we lost mom and Rap within weeks, but I feel they are together now, and in God's kingdom. R.I.P. you 2 love birds. Love ya !!!!! Miss ya !!!!!!

My dear Gabriella our deepest heartfelt sympathies and prayers for your loss and to your whole family.May God hold you all in his loving arms .

Dear Gabriella, Stefany, and Allison, I’m thinking of you all so much right now and can hardly believe the news. For my entire life, there were always the four of you, the Greenes, that felt more like extended family than just friends. I can’t believe there are now only 3 of the original 4. Gabriella, you and George built such a beautiful life and a wonderful family that has only grown larger and more wonderful with time. I know you all brought him great pride and joy and filled his life with love. Sending so many hugs to you three during this difficult time.

Rap Was always there for a great story and some funny jokes , I got to be apart of this wonderful mans wisdom for 11 years while I lived in the Carolinas near my cousin Diane and Doug...he was truly a special guy!

My Father -in-Law Navío treated me like a Son he was so good to me ,, Some of my Favorite Vacations were with him at the Beach House Fishing, Crabbing ,Barbecuing I love you Dad RIP

Dear Gabriella we send our deepest confidences to you and your family . Our prayers are with you at this difficult time

Gone too soon. Sending prayers and healing thoughts to Gabby and family. So heartbreaking. My memories of George go back to high school days.

George and Gabi were our best neighbors in Farmington for 10 years! Lucky for us to have formed such a close relationship, we were more like family. Stephanie and Allison adored their father because he would always listen and present great ideas. My husband Toby and George would go scuba diving together and had so much fun. George, you will surely be missed!

He will be missed. We were fortunate to have as a neighbor and loved our get togethers! So glad we got to visit you at your beautiful home in NC and spend time together. You all have amazing memories and so much love we pray it helps give you peace and comfort. Our sincere condolences Much love and hugs to you all Holly n Carl

Dear Gabriella, anybody who spent any time with you, knows how much you loved George and how much George loved you. With the exception of your childhood you were always friends, partners and husband and wife. Together you brought up two strong, smart and beautiful girls and you always, always were each other’s strongest supporters in all the storms of life. I can’t believe that I will never have another „ fight“ with George about politics- just to be welcomed by him with open arms at my next visit. It is so sad for me to know that you, my friend, will now have to walk alone through these difficult times. Please trust that George will be with you, that your beautiful family will support you and that your many friends will be there for you. I‘m sorry to be so far away right now, but you are in my thoughts and prayers always. Alan and the girls send their love also.

Gaby: No words can express our deepest sympathies, and no words can live up to the man/husband/father/grandfather George truly was. Gaby always recounted how they met and got married at a young age. They started early with their blessed married lives and had two great daughters and then their family grew with sons in law and then beautiful grandchildren. Wish we could be near you to help you during this difficult time, but please know you are in our thoughts and prayers. Our hearts go out to you and your family. Frank and Debbie Greco

Sending my love. Xoxo

He was a friend only for a short time but my time with him was competitive and fun. I will miss his wit and his serve.

Gaby, My heart goes out to you and your family. George will be remembered.

Gaby we are so sorry for your loss. You were so devoted to each other and the memories you carry in your heart are precious. He was devoted and strong in life and I am sure he is still watching over you and your family.

Sending thoughts and prayers to Gaby and her family. Cherish your memories which will help you through this sudden difficult time.

I love you dad ! I wish I could’ve been there to hold your hand when you took your last breathe. I’m so sad. But you knew nothing about Covid. In fact if you knew a lot of what was going on in this country, in the world ,you’d have been dropping some F- bombs. RIP. ALL MY LOVE FOREVER !!!

Rap, you and grandma were the ideal couple. You both loved each other very much and I am glad to know you are reunited again. You were always the one with little to say, but when you did speak, it was witty and hilarious. I’ll never forget going on the pontoon boat and catching crabs many years ago. You will be missed Rap

In 1981 when I was 17, I bought a yellow '76 Ford Mustang with money i earned working after school the 2 years prior. It was a stick shift (some may have no idea what that is, google it!). I didn't know how to drive it, but it was what I could afford and was in good condition per Navio's assessment under the hood. He taught me how to drive it, and I am grateful for his patience and time.

Gaby and girls, I can’t imagine the pain you and the girls are going through. Hold all those memories in your heart and they will help you when you need them. Saying prayers for all of you and sending you a hug.

This is all too sad to imagine. While I never met George, it was obvious how close you two were and that there was so much love and happiness. What a blessing to your entire family he was. Please know I am holding you close in my thoughts and prayers and I hope you are doing OK.

Gaby, We hope that sweet and happy memories help you and your family through the difficult hours. Our hearts break for you.

I am so very sorry for your loss. Stefany and I met in first grade and you all have been another family to me since then. There was so much time spent at your house and so many life experiences shared. My heart aches for all of you. You are such a loving family and I know you will have each other to get through this tough time. So many wonderful memories to share with each other. I’m thinking of you often and sending my love to you all.

So sad, no words to express how we feel. George was a great father, husband, grandfather and neighbor. He will be missed. He looking at the Blue Ridge Mountains from above us all now.

Dear Gaby. I am so very sorry that the wonderful man you called husband, father and grandfather has been taken from your lives far too early and my heart aches for you all. I only met him a few times and my only knowledge of George was through you Gaby, with stories of the fun times you shared. I know the immense love you shared and the memories will be of comfort to you, your children and grandchildren. You are in my thoughts and prayers. God. Bless you all. Hugs.

Navio was the eldest of five children, and I the youngest. He took the role of the eldest son in a traditional Italian family very seriously having been born in Italy. He was always there for his brothers and sisters and I will greatly miss him. He took his responsibility of being the eldest very seriously and was always there for us. I will miss him forever.

My Big Brother

Gabby and family, So sorry to hear of George's unexpected passing. My thoughts and prayers are with all your family at this time, hope you have many happy memories to comfort you..

Dear Gaby, our hearts ache over the sad news of George's untimely passing. Our deepest sympathy goes to you and the whole family. May your faith and the truth that you and George shared for so many years help to carry you through this time of mourning and loss. We wished we could be closer to cook some meals for you and give you company. We are one with you in spirit and behold the life of George which has transformed. He is still with you closer than your breath. Your love for each other is eternal.

What a beautiful tribute to George. Although I didn’t really know him, the love you two shared was undeniable. Gaby, you & your girls are in our thoughts & prayers. Sending much love & hugs!

Gaby, I cannot imagine your grief and shock. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

Gaby, This is still a shock. My heart aches for you and the girls. Prayers to you and your family..Thinking of your at this difficult time.

I’m at a loss for words. I’m heartbroken to hear this. You guys are like family to me. You took me in and took care of me when my own family didn’t . What a great man. He will be missed. Love to all of you .

My sympathy goes out to Gaby, Stefany, Allison, and all of their beautiful children. I witnessed the beautiful love Gaby and George shared and the love he had for his family. His spirit will live on through them. George will be missed by so many and I will miss his dry sense of humor and his amazing grilled chicken. May God surround this family with His comfort and peace.

George was a very accommodating host every time we visited Gaby whether it was when they lived in Victor or in Hendersonville. Such a gentleman, helping with luggage, grilling, making us feel welcome, sharing his wit and dry sense of humor. I will miss George, and my heart breaks for the love of his life and for Stefany and Allison and Lee and the grandkids. Such a devastating loss of a very good man.

Rap, we will miss your many stories - especially about Alaska and the mob stories from your early days - we had many laughs. I am happy that you and Sunny are back together again having many, many laughs. I know everyone always asked for your meatball recipe, but they should know Italians do not have recipes, we use a little bit of this and a little bit of that. Thanks for always taking us on the pontoon boat, the kids loved crabbing and finding conch shells, as well as helping us when the kids were little. I always enjoyed making apple turnovers and pizzellas for you. We have many good laughs...say hi to Suds too. Love, Diane

Navio was a good man and a wonderful husband to our mother, Sunny. Our boys grew up knowing him as "Grandpa Rap" and we had some good times with him and mom down at the beach in Rehoboth and on his pontoon out on the Chesapeake. He was a much loved member of our family and we will all miss him. It's still hard to comprehend that we won't have Rap and Sunny in our lives anymore. God speed.

Jeanne, it's hard to find the words. Carol meant the world to me, so many happy memories. I will carry her in my heart forever. May God's Peace help ease the pain in your heart.

Rap, You and your humor will be greatly missed. Thanks for all of your help over the years. Say hello to mom for my. She has been wanting to be with you again for so long. Love you guys, Doug

Will always remember his great smile, and the wonderful times we shared together as friends... A family man he was and a gentle soul... May you rest in peace! ❤️

Will always remember he's crazy smile

My husband Ed loved apples and he loved buying apples from Frankie at Farmers Market! He and Ed always found something to cut-up about! We always enjoyed chatting with him - Frankie was so warm and friendly. We had a small cinnamon colored Chow Chow named Ching that Maddix would take for a little stroll when she was at market with her grandpa. Ching passed in April and my dear Ed passed in September. We were married 51 years - I understand the big hole in your heart Rhonda- I pray for you and your family to feel the peace that only God can give until we are all reunited in heaven.

I did not know this gentleman, but would like to Thank his family for his service to our Country.

Lori’s Mom Imogene, and I are first cousins, and Lori is so closely a part in our family. I remember her as a tiny brand new bundle, little beautiful face and so happy. I watched her grow over the years becoming more beautiful spiritually inside and out. She knew her direction and what she wanted out of life. She could not be more proud of her two beautiful children and every year she sent me a picture of each. I cherished watching them grow into adults. Lori has left a beautiful legacy in her children that will go on forever. God bless and care for each of the family.

I am so sorry for Patty's and your Dad's passing. Both of your Parent's were special people. Working for Patty at Pardee was a pleasure . Your beautiful memories of them will always keep them close. God Bless your families!

Daddy, I'm going to miss you! Miss our lunch dates, phone calls and silly animal posts on facebook, miss picking on each other and spending time together. I am blessed to be your daughter and will always share your words of wisdom with others. Now it's time to rest, you made sure to make everyone you talked to smile or laugh in some way and you will be remembered, I promise to be nice to senior citizens always! Keep your eye on me, you know how I like to cause trouble! I love you daddy!

Thank you for your service, bit thank you most of all for excepting me as your son, and bringing the most beautiful lady into this world. My wife Elizabeth. RIH.... Until we meet again. You will be missed.

My Aunt Helen loved the Lord with her whole heart. When our family moved from California to Maryland, we stayed with Uncle Lyle and Aunt Helen for several weeks until our apartment was ready. I remember her challenging me to memorize the hymn, Holy, Holy, Holy. I did it. Still know all the words. I love hymns to this day. You will be missed, Aunt Helen.

Uncle Chris, you will be dearly missed. I never knew of your involvement in the armed services. I wish we had more time to get to know you and your adventures. Rest well.

I wish I had more time to hear more of your stories and share more of mine with you. I am truly grateful to be your grandson and to have known such a strong and kind hearted man. I will never forget our talks and always miss and love you. I hope that as you watch over family and friends, that we make you proud.

So glad I had you as a father, you were the best! As with most, my only regret is that we didn't have enough time with you. I, as well as, Mark, Tucker, Dalton and Jordan will miss you.

Thank you for your service Uncle Chris. Many happy and fun memories I think of often when you and my father were stationed at the same duty stations. Rest well and can't wait to see and hug you some day. Prayers of peace for your loved ones and friends who are still here.

Thank you for your Services. You raised a fine daughter we are pleased to call her (Elizabeth) sister in my family. Rest easy with the Lord and continue to look down and send a lil sparkle to her and let her know your ok. Until we all see you again.❤

Thank you for your service, rest in peace. Prayers for the family and comfort from Jesus.

Thank you for your service Uncle Pete and so blessed that God saved you in that close call overseas. God spared you so you could have many years to be a good disciple. It sounds like you served him well. So blessed that we got to know you too.

My memories of Pete and Gertrude go back to my early childhood years at Bobs Creek Baptist Church. Pete was our song leader and Gertrude was my Sunday School teacher. Thankful for the spiritual impact they had on my beginning walk with Jesus.

So sorry to see this, you were so much fun to work with at Pardee.....❤️

I met Alice during radiation for our cancer treatments. She reminded me so much of my mother: elegant, classy, well dressed. I felt as though my mother was with me during this difficult time. We actually looked forward to radiation, just to see each other. The last treatment for both of us was on the same day. That day the machine broke down and all appointments were rescheduled. The team at Pardee Cancer center knew we had grown close and when they rescheduled our last visits, they made sure we were together. Alice loved my dog, Harriet. She made sure I brought her to our visits. I enjoyed baking and cooking things for Alice that she enjoyed. She is a bright light in my life, always. P.S. When you get to heaven please say Hi to my mom!

Thank you for your service to our country. Rest in Peace.

Thank you so much for your service to our country. Rest in Peace.

Joe and I wanted to offer our love and support as you have the memorial service for your parents. We are out of town and will not be back in time but we want you to know that we hold your entire family close to our hearts and pray for your comfort.

Uncle Pete sure was a great friend to have and we enjoyed every visit through the years. Will miss his cheerful attitude and welcome voice every time we met. Not many like him for sure. Could not help but admire this man. Went to church many years with him. Rest in peace brother..

James A. Osteen Jr.

I am so sorry for your loss. Carl was a great man, friend and neighbor. He was the best of the best. I wish we had many more like him. He will surely be missed.

Gene , Bruce and family we are so sorry for your loss. We always loved both your parents. They were a delight to be around. We sit many a Sunday morning in Pete's class at Beulah and enjoyed his teachings. I (Linda )often put my 2 cents in with Gerts approval and had great time learning from Pete. We have so much to look forward to when we get Home with Jesus and our loved ones!

James; So sorry to hear about Patty’s passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family Bob & Carolyn Wise

Mike and James, I am so sorry to hear of Patty's death and of Joe's 2 years ago. Your family has been through so much. May God give you His grace and strength for this time and in the days to come.

Lori was such a dear and wonderful friend. We were friends since we were nine and I have such special and fun memories of our years in school and beyond. Her heart was with her family and children whom she loved so much. Her concern and love for her friends was immense. She will be deeply missed. Rest in peace dear friend. We love you. Laura Stepp Cline

Charlie, I'm going to miss you on the range and the putting green. Find us a great golf course up there and I will see you soon.

We are so sorry for the loss of your mom. Our prayers are with you during such a difficult time. May she Rest In Peace now with your dad. Love, Mickie and Cathy Kukula

We are so sorry for the loss of your mom. May she Rest In Peace now with your dad. Our prayers are with you during such a difficult time. Love, Mickie and Cathy Kukula

Dearest Charlie - you will be sorely missed - such wit, sense of humor, creativity in your spectacular woodworking skills, golfing expertise, love of the Lord, family and friends. I will continue to think of you often especially as I see my treasured furniture pieces and remember good times with you. Rest In Peace my friend.

Clover was a wonderful neighbor and stellar person. Our kids called her "the energizer bunny" because she was always busy with something, either for The Cottages, the church, or the community. She is one of our fond memories of Bat Cave and the folks that live there who made us feel so welcome even as part-timers.

Leslie was so kind, gentle, and generous! I was blessed to work closely with her while she took on school testing responsibilities and then as a Tier tutor. Her heart for children was limitless. She was an amazing friend and caring patient listener. Above all she loved her family, dogs included! Her gentle presence is greatly missed.

Dear Rhonda and families, We all are praying for you while we are still all in shock. Frankie and you were/are loved by our entire family. So grateful he did not suffer but so sorry we did not get to say goodbye. Looking forward to being able to tell him we love him when we see him again in Heaven. With prayers for your comfort and peace, Debbie, for the whole Nash family.

Lori had an incredible vocabulary and witty sense humor. We will miss her shining light, joy and laughter.

Clover was a joy to be around and will be missed by everyone

God has already blessed your soul Charlie. Thanks for being part of my life these past years. We have already missed you on the golf course and in life.

Thank you Charlie for being the kind and generous soul that you are. My wish is that you will find joy in your new home, peace in the arms of God and Love everlasting. How wonderful it has been to know you in the past few years. You will not be forgotten my friend. With warm wishes and prayers for your continued journey into light.

Yes, God bless your beautiful soul, Charlie! I have thought of you often and remember you always with gratitude. May you realize your greatest wish...!

I am one of the fortunate people who got to know Leslie while working together at Clear Creek. She was a wonderful person, talented and loving. We grieve her loss, and know she will always remain very much alive in the memories of those who loved, respected, and treasured her. I send my love and heartfelt sympathies to her darling Tally and the entire family.

Looking forward to walking those heavenly fairways with Charlie in the future

You were a very dear friend !! I will never forget you kindness !! I will always miss you !!

You will be missed so much !!!! You were a very sweet friend ! I will miss you always !!

So sorry to hear of Jimmy's passing. Jimmy's family and my family were members of Zion Hill Baptist Church when we were young. Sending prayers for comfort in the time of grief. God bless you and the family.

God bless your beautiful soul Carlie. May love surround and comfort Linda, Gregory, Gwendolyn and family.

Jeanne - I'm so very sorry to hear of Carol's passing. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Betty Brown was the gem of Saluda, NC and of East Henderson High School. She was my teacher from 1975-1978. She encouraged me to go to college. She and Joe became my friends. While she never had children of her own, she was a mother to all that would open their hearts to her. I miss both Joe and Betty.

Mrs. Nawrocki was teaching at Clear Creek the same time I attended. She never failed to have a smile on her face and a friendly wave whenever you passed by. She would always make you feel seen. Whether it was when she would crack a joke or compliment you on your outfit. Mrs Nawrocki was a beautiful soul. And she will be so beyond missed.

My friend Leslie was my very first friend in Jacksonville Florida in 1982. We have stayed in touch all these years, and I was so fortunate to get to see here up in Fletcher last September and share some wonderful days together. She took me to see one of her favorite waterfalls. Leslie’s quiet “coolness” & her sweet nature will be sorely missed by all who loved her.

A shining star - loved by all! Our deepest sympathies to the entire Kellogg family

Oh Martha, I'm so saddened to hear of Steve's passing. Sending you much love!

With my thoughts, prayers and deepest sympathy to Bill, Pam and Jeanne in Carol's passing.

Leslie was a dear friend of mine, and I will miss her dearly. She was a true friend when I needed one, and always had a kind word for me when I was troubled. I will miss our breakfasts at Scrambles. She will forever be with me in my memories.

Meeting Al in Hendersonville is one of my finest memories. He was a winner in all aspects of his life. My condolences to his family

Our family is so sorry for your loss. Frankie and my brother, Steve Souther, were great friends. Frankie was so kind to us at Steve's funeral a couple of years ago. He shared some very special stories about their fishing adventures together. We know they are fishing together in Heaven now. Your family is in our thoughts and prayers. May God Bless you all.

Dearest Martha, my sincerest regrets. I have many memories of you and Steve. Not one that doesn't evoke the friendship, support, and affection the two of you brought to my life for a good many years. I send you love and strength in this sorrowful time.

Martha, I am so sorry to see the news about Steve's death posted on the TWS Website. The poor man. You had many good years together. I hope your friends and family can be meaningful to you at this said time. I'm thinking of you. B

To my beautiful Mother Superior, Martha. Hugs to you from afar. Steve was a wonderful man, and you were both so blessed to have each other. Loving and fond memories, your Agnes.

In our Hearts always and forever

There are not enough words to describe how we feel about the loss of our friend and co worker, Carol....We worked many years together. She was always able to brighten your day with her sweet spirit. We were both retired, but still able to see one another from time to time. So sorry she battled illness for most of her retirement years. She was so lucky to have her sister, Jeanne for many years while living with her health issues. She will be sorely missed, but know that our loss is Heaven's gain.

Gary, Bennett and family. My deepest sympathies on the loss of your Mom. You will remain in my prayers for comfort and peace

Mary Frances, I am so very sorry that you have lost Jimmy. I cherish the memories of all the many get-togethers our families enjoyed over the years with our mutual friends. Anne and I also used to enjoy going to the fruit stand and Jimmy always had a few overripe peaches to share, which are a particular favorite of mine. Our families have remained close all these years and we always enjoyed keeping up with what all our children and grandchildren were doing. You will all be in our thoughts and prayers and I hope that you can find comfort in the thought that you will all see each other again one day.

My thoughts and prayers for all the family and friends

I was privileged to have Mrs. Betty Brown as my senior English teacher at East Henderson High in 1968. I have never forgotten her, as she did something very special for me. I was pregnant and needed credit for her class to graduate. She allowed me to come at 4:00 for English. I got my needed credit and graduated, thanks to Mrs. Brown. Then in 1968, my son also had Mrs. Brown as his English teacher. My sister was in The Laurels in 2018 before she passed away, and saw and talked to Mrs. Brown many times. She may not have remembered me, but I will always be fond of her memory and kindness. May GOD surround you with His peace that passeth all understanding. My prayers are with all of you.

I will truly miss Mr. McAbee. he was always cutting up with you and made you laugh. when I would go by the apple stand I would go to his little office and aggravate him about sitting in his chair and not working. he would always cut up with me. My prayers are with his family . I will truly miss him.

Prayers for you all! I love and miss you Lutricia!

My thoughts and prayers is with you Delton, Angie, and James! I am going to miss talking to my sister!

To all the family i am so sorry about the loss of Mr Mac. I enjoyed many meals with him at the Mustang Cafe what a great man he was. We always made sure we had lunch together on our birthday as we celebrated the same day. I will miss seeing him. God bless all the family.

So sorry to hear this. Sending my love, prayers and hugs for your family Waynette

Mrs. Brown, you were an excellent English teacher and you helped inspire me to go to college. I expect there are a lot of your former students who would say the same. The world needs more teachers like you

Mrs. Brown was one of my most favorite teachers. I had her for senior English. I always admired how well dressed she was and how well poised she was. She was a great teacher. My condolences go out to her family.

I didn’t have her as a teacher but I did pass by her classroom and do know she will be missed she was always nice

Mrs. Brown was one of my favorites at East Henderson! I had her all there year's foe English. She had so much knowledge and loved teaching. Class of 1981

I loved Ms. Betty Brown, the country needs more teachers like her in the world. It didn’t matter how many years had passed since she had seen you, she knew who you were, and wanted to know how things were, and she cares. She cared which is saying a lot now. She wasn’t easy on you, but she made sure you knew Shakespeare, and her appearance was always on point. Love you Ms. Betty Brown!

Thank you Mrs Brown for always encouraging me to be the best I could be. You taught a shy little girl to dream of bigger things. My love of books comes from the time I spent in your class. Prayers for the family as you have lost a true gem.

Dear Mr. Thomas “Lee” Simmons and Mrs. Sharon Matthews, I was just informed of your loss by Leslie Swinson Gough, which I’m terribly sorry for. My name is Marjorie, I’m French, living in France. Harvey W. Swinson was my grandfather, father of my father. I spent a lot of time trying to find and reach your mother. I would be very grateful if you wanted to contact me. Again, so sorry for your loss.

My best teacher that understood me and learned a lot English thru her...I got see her every day at East until her retirement..She was a true Lady ....

My English teacher at Flat Rock One of the best teachers I ever had Taught my sons at East

Mrs. Brown was my favorite teacher at East High. Through her teaching, I learned to love and appreciate literature. I still carry that with me today. She was one of a kind. A priceless pearl in a sea of knowledge.

Betty Ann was one of my favorite teachers ever. At Wake Forest, we were each to give a brief overview of Sir Gawain and the Green Night for British Literature. My professor from England was so interested in my analysis which Betty taught us a few years before that she kept me speaking for nearly 3 hours over 2 days! I would go on to work as weather anchor at WSPA TV which made her very proud and she asked me to judge the Coon Dog Day parade which I was honored to do for her! She was one of a kind and I dearly loved having her as a teacher and friend.

I will miss seeing Betty when I go home...Peace be wth her !!!

Absolutely a wonderful teacher, and person in the community, she always had a way to make someone laugh.. she will be missed .

Thank you Mrs. Brown for my love of books ! A wonderful teacher !

Mrs. Brown was an excellent English teacher. I will remember her for the passion she had for teaching and I will never forget how nice she was to me over the two years that she was my English teacher at East Henderson. She was very caring, took time to help me with my studies and always pushed me to do better.

I loved being in your class. You will be missed. RIP sweet lady

A great teacher and wonderful friend. She always would say you and your mom was named after me, as my mom's name too was Bettye. Many memories after highschool and I'll cherish her knowledge forever. Rest in peace sweet lady.

Mrs. Brown was one of a kind. She was my English teacher my junior and senior year at East Henderson. My condolences to the family.

She was my English teacher at East .Very nice lady a great teacher.

Mrs. Brown was a unforgettable teacher. I never forgot her dedication, patience, and passion she exhibited in the classroom. Rest In Peace.

Ms. Brown was my 10th grade English teacher at East Henderson High in '85/'86. I have thought of her many times through the years. She was a very kind lady. She will be missed.

Mrs. Brown was one of my most favorite teachers. My senior year she helped me grow my love of reading to more history and autobiographical topics. She was such a beautiful and special person. She will be truly missed. I'm so very sorry for your loss. Heaven gained a beautiful angel

She was a wonderful teacher, my deepest condolences to the family

Mrs Brown was the reason I finished school, if it wasn't for her I don't know how things would have turned out. She was always nice to me. Blessed to have known her, she will be missed.

Mrs Brown helped me believe in myself that anything was possible if you worked for it and believed in it!

I had Mrs Brown as a teacher at East. I was a very shy student and she was very sweet to me. I appreciated her. God bless you Mrs Brown! Rest in peace.

To all the family. I am so sorry to hear of Mrs Browns passing. I had the honor and privilege to have her as my Teacher at east henderson what a wonderful lady she was and a awesome teacher. God bless all. Rest in peace Mrs Betty. Go eagles class of 1990

Was blessed to have known Betty as she began teaching at Flat Rock/East Henderson High School. Visited with her many times at the Laurels and loved seeing her smile when I told her of my appreciation for the many things she taught me. A very special lady.

Our condolences to all the family. We continue to pray for Dodie and Becky daily as they care for Anna.

Remember how faithful Richard was to provide firewood for folks in the community.

Betty Brown's high school classes were most memorable. I was fortunate to have her as a teacher at East Henderson High for several of those classes during my 3 years there. Godspeed, Mrs. Brown!

Betty was a true Southern Lady, a great teacher and a friend. Her signature blonde hair could be spotted a block away. She loved Joe and missed him terribly. When I had a booth at the farmer's market, she would stop and visit. I was hoping to visit her after the pandemic.

Rest In Peace Lori

Mac - You lived a wonderful life and raised wonderful children. Happy to have met you even if just a few times. God bless you up above!

I'm so sad. We were talking about her today at Women's Club and how we always hoped that when we had a get-together she would make/bring her delicious coconut cake. A lovely lady.

My thoughts and prayers to Anna and family. Richard was a nice man , so willing to help people in need. He will be missed.

Lori was my first best friend in 1st grade. We had such fun! I'm so sorry to hear this and my deepest condolences to all the family

I just saw this... my heart is breaking... I’ll never forget Rhoda stamping with me, and one year telling me my name was in her checkbook more than some non-profits

Bella was a neighbor and will be missed for her curiosity about nature, kindness and consideration along with her fun loving personality.

So sorry to hear of Bellas passing. I will miss seeing her at her dental visits.

Becky and Dodie, I'm sorry for your loss. I remember his smile, pipe but most of all the love he showed us kids growing up. Richard was a great man.

I so enjoyed when Bella came in for her dental visits. Always so up beat and interested in whatever we would talk about. I will miss her.

Sorry for your loss. She was a great, caring person. Her troubles and yours are now over. My thoughts and sadness is with the family. Charlie S.

John, my heart goes out to you in the passing of your wife, Bunny. I send my thoughts, prayers and deepest sympathy to you. Alton

Amelia was a sweet friend and co-worker when we worked for the Clerk of Superior Court. She always had a smile and was such a comfort to others when she worked in the Estates office. She made the BEST Broccoli Casserole and every time we had a covered dish dinner at the courthouse, I always asked her to bring it. She told me one day that everyone would get tired of her bringing the same dish! I said "never" because it was so delicious. It is still one of my favorites that I cook at my own family gatherings. Prayers for the family as I know she will be greatly missed.

So sorry. Such a sweet man who loved his family

Charles I knew yrs ago as such sweet friend and kind man who absolutely adored his kids and family.

RIP Uncle Richard, Was surprised to hear especially right after Mom passed in January. They can all be together now with their parents in glory! Our condolences to the family.

Dear Dodie and Becky, Me and Ken are so sorry to hear of your Dad's passing. I worked with Dodie at Berkeley and Kenny worked with Becky at GE and both of you are so loved! I never got to know your Dad at Berkeley, but I will always remember how he always had a kind ready smile in passing through the hallways of Berkeley and knowing Dodie as well as I do, I knew that he was a good soul! May God's peace and comfort surround you and your family through this loss! Sincerely, Debbie and Kenny Boyer

Sorry to hear about Richard. I knew him when his dad was pastor at Balfour UMC. Remember Anna when we were connected with Fruitland years ago. Thoughts and prayers are with the family.

So sorry for the loss. Love to all. Love Patsy James Billy Karen

Fondest memories of Charles

Dearest Ruth, I'm so sorry to hear of Charles's passing. I think of the two of you often with very fond memories. I'd love to see you sometime, maybe you can email me your number. I love you and will be praying for you and the family.

I remember all the times that our families got together and have fun. I loved your dad and your mom too. I will keep the family in my prayers

Sorry to hear this. RIP. I worked with both he and Anna. Wonderful people. May God be with the family.

He was my friends dad and that makes him so special in my heart too. Condolences.

Lisa and family, At times when the loss is so great, words of condolence seem so small. May God hold you and each family member tight in his arms of comfort!

Charles Alan, you will forever be a light in my memory!

Where do I begin....I’ll just begin at the beginning. Charles was absolutely the sweetest and kindest kid, boy, young man, man I’ve ever known. No exaggeration. He was was talented in many ways. I liked to call him the animal whisperer. He loved animals and would rescue the injured and care for them until all ready to release or find a home for them. He was an amazing swimmer! He swam across the Mississippi River and back all at one time. He told me “Halfway back I thought, ‘ I should’ve thought about this a little more.’ “. When we were 12 & 13 yrs old, our families crossed the Mississippi River to spend the day on a sandbar. We took everything needed to spend the day having fun. I oukdnt swim (still can’t) and the current kept pulling me further out until it was getting over my head. Although I screamed frantically for help, it was perceived by everybody that I was just joking, except for Charles. He came running and swam out to me and brought me safely to the bank. He absolutely saved my life. He had a one of a kind sense of humor. He sculpted, he drew, he built. He was brave and stood up for the underdog. He was honest, he was wise. I could go on and on. We grew up together. Our families being friends, we were together almost daily. So I knew him well. He will be so very missed. I called him Charles Alan. So, Charles Alan, I will see you again one day. Until then, enjoy fishing in those beautiful heavenly waters !!

I miss you so much maw. I wish I could spend one more day with you and paw, but one day we will all be together again. I love you with all my heart.

Charlie was one of the finest co-workers I ever had the pleasure of knowing. He was a kind, honest and caring man and will be greatly missed by all who knew him.

Charlie was one of the greatest co-workers I ever had the pleasure of knowing. A fine, honest and caring man! Will miss him dearly.

Ruth, I am so sorry to hear of Charles' passing. I have often thought of the two of you through the years. Sending prayers for God's comfort and peace to you and your family.

Stephanie Guest Smith, My deepest sympathy on the loss of your family member.

Stephanie Guest Smith

I worked for Jet Messenger for 13 years. I always enjoyed dealing with Larry. He was a man with vision and inspiration. He was always upbeat and thoughtful. Also truly a family man. I have so many great memories working with the Day family.

Pat was the best sister-in-law anyone would want. she loved my brother and that was enough for me. We had some good times visiting back and forth while our kids were small. Phone conversations always left me smiling even when I knew Pat was in pain. Her smile and amazing funny stories will pop up in my mind when I least expect it. These memories help me in my sorrow of the loss of my brother and sister-in-law.

Don the Plumber was a great friend to Katie (dog) after Matilda died. He invited her to go help him paint his house. He said she could do the baseboards as she is so low to the ground. She would wait for his white truck in the mornings. I would like to contribute to a go fund me to help with expenses.

My deepest sympathies are sent your way. Mr. Pace was very nice dAy with a warm smile. Sending prayers for everyone especially Mrs. Pace.

Ruth, Charles always had a warm smile and friendly greeting for us. Sounds as if he went through a lot with his illness. Be proud of almost sixty six years with such a fine gentleman! As we remember Charles, we are thinking of all family members.

Amelia and her late husband, J.D., were both members of my high school class (HHS, 1959). I remember them both fondly and am so sorry to hear of Amelia's passing on February 20. Sending condolences to Melissa and all of the family.

Amelia always had a smile and was helpful to a sometimes struggling paralegal. I've missed her since her retirement. My condolences to the family.

David, we were sorry to hear of your loss and are thinking of you.

Loved you my Dear Friend See you again soon!

Aaron I am so sorry for missing this notice, my mother died the same day. You mom and dad were very good friends of my family and my Mother. They were such staples to our church time and through Thomas Shepherds, (my family is the Johnsons). Your dad will be missed at church and in the community! Blessing to all of you.

I remember Dianne from Cleveland County Girls Club about 40 years ago. Dianne just a wonderful person with a big heart.

Pleased to have known you as a friend Mac. And your wife Rusty too.as we say in the Army ..”And the Caissons keep rolling along “

Pleased to have known you as a friend Mac. And your wife Rusty as well. As we say in the Army “The Caissons keep rolling along”.

Prayers to you all Jordan you will be truly missed all I have is the memories we shared ❤️

Prayers to you all Jordan you will be truly missed I’m still can’t believe you are no longer with us ❤️❤️

Kaye , We were so sorry to hear of Harry’s passing. He was a true Gem. We will always cherish the friendship we shared. He always teased me about getting his Christmas card out before mine. I usually did beat him to it. Please know we are here for you if you need anything you know where to find us. Love and prayers

I was so sad to hear about Harry's death. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers, Kaye

Kaye, Evans and I are so sorry to hear Harry has passed away. It was always so pleasant to be greeted by his big smile and cheerful hello on Sunday mornings. Thank you for including the TPC members as his family. I believe we truly are. God bless you and bring you peace, The Thibodeaus

Steve and I wired together for many years. I remember him as a dear friend. Mary Frances

I don’t think I really appreciated my mom until I became a mother myself. In the first days at home with my first son, Joshua, she was there to help me. My husband was sick with the flu. She showed me how to hold this precious new life, how to nurse him. I was surprised how some of the mothering didn’t really come naturally as I expected. I didn’t know what the heck I was doing! But she showed me—after all she had four of her own. She showed me a trick of how to hold the baby, sitting with a propped up knee so I could eat dinner myself! Amazing trick. Then with my 2nd, Michael, who was born 2 months premature in NC away from my home in Ohio, she was there again helping to take care of Josh while I visited mike. Hubby had to return to work in Ohio. And then she came to see mike as well. Holding a premature baby helps them grow! She was an amazing mother and I believe I was a good mother because of her.

Steve and I were co-workers in the years leading up to his retirement and our families remained good friends thereafter. My thoughts and prayers are with Martha and her family.

I love you Uncle Ted.

During our young family's life, mom was always busy, cooking, cleaning, doing laundry...but occasionally she would build a Barbie Doll house out of a box or teach me an embroidery stitch. I remember one time on Dogwood Dr., while the kids were still young, she hid in the coat closet in the middle of the row house and knocked on the door. We thought someone was at the front door....but no one was there. We heard the knock again and all of us ran to the back door...no one was there! She must have had us run back and forth several times, until we figured it out....we were all rolling on the floor laughing when she finally came out! She may have been hiding to get a little quiet time, but she also had a great sense of spontaneous playfulness.

I remember Mike well I was his sister Gail's best friend he used to terrorize us when I spent the night. I am surprised to just now see his passing. I was looking for info on Gail and saw this. If the family sees this can you respond with where Gail is buried Mike promised to let me know but never did. I would love to know how Cecilia is too.

We met on FB and became wonderful friends. Until we're together again yo meet in heaven. Love you honey ❤

Aunt Joyce, your sweet voice and beautiful smile will be missed. I know Uncle Claude was sure happy to see you walk through those heavenly gates. Love you ♥️

I occasionally had the pleasure of working with Tony at a skilled nursing facility in Lake Waccamaw, NC. What a pleasure he was to be around! We bonded over our sensitivity to the current state of things and shared similar political opinions while on our lunch breaks. He was a sensitive soul that had a deep understanding of the complexities of human nature. He voiced his sadness at the current state of things and was perpetually concerned. I learned so much from him and still use therapy techniques that he taught me, even though he had no idea that he was teaching. He truly led by example and I am honored that I had a chance to know him. I remember he spoke of his family with affection and was really excited to be going to visit them in his folks’ new home, if my memory serves. The world is a better place having known Tony Case. If we treated one another the way that he treated me then the world wouldn’t know this pain. Love you, Brother.

Larry was such a sweet but stubborn man. Thats what made Larry Larry! Wouldnt have changed him for the world. I was lucky enough to have known him and was lucky enough to have met his sweet sister robbie and his caregiver Tater. You will be missed but you are no longer suffering.

We send our condolences to the family from Ralph and Glorianna Romanelli, friends of Lisa.

Aaron, your dad will be missed, I am so sorry for your loss. We will be thinking of you.

Rabon was a wonderful man he was my stepdad for a number of years. My Mom was Ruth he taught me to drive and was the most patient man you could ever want to know. I am very sorry for the families loss.

I am so sorry for the world's loss of such a kind man. I know the last few years have been a challenge but i remember a previous time of joy. Know that I am here if you need me.

Jo Ann, I am sorry to hear of your loss. I will be praying for you and your family. I enjoyed working with Mark at DuPont for over 10 years. He was an outstanding mechanical engineer and his faith and love of people was apparent.

It was a joy and privilege to have Mark as a cherished member of our community at MountainCare. He always knew how to make us laugh. He will be greatly missed.

We are so sorry to hear of Mark's passing. You are in our thoughts.

Jo Anne, I was so sorry to hear this news. I am grateful to have met Mark just a few years ago and felt lucky to share in the laughter of some of his infamous jokes. My prayers will be with you in the days ahead. I love you. Please come and visit.

I am so sorry for your loss. Brother Forbes was a kind hearted gentleman. He will be missed by many who benefitted from his kindness.

Carol was a delight to be with. We played a lot of golf together. You always knew how she felt about things. Her beautiful smile will be missed.

Thinking of you and your family during this time. Randy was such a nice person. I would always have to cut up with him in church when Myra and Maria would bring him in. I always enjoyed my visit. Our thoughts and prayers are with your family.

Wow, seems I've known Don all my life. He will be missed in many avenues of life. Such a great guy.

Although I do not know you personally my heart grieves for your loss. You will remember your precious son everytime there is a gentle breeze, a spring drizzle of rain or when the beautiful flowers begin to spring forward. I am truly sorry

To Ed, Carol, and Susan, I send my sincere condolences for the loss of your wife and mother. My prayers are with you all at this sad and difficult time.

We miss you so much. It is still hard to believe how sudden this happened, especially right after the vaccine. Thanks for being such a caring and loving person to all of us, especially all the help you provided us with the kids and even teaching me how to make jello – yes jello. We love you so much and when you see Suds give him a hug from all of us – we love and miss you — Diane —

Our thoughts are with you, In the sorrow you bear. May Gods presents always stay at your side to comfort you throughout these days.

Jeff and Tamara, I was sad to hear about Lou's passing. What a wonderful person. Your Aunt Lou took me under her wings when I began my teaching career at Bruce Drysdale. I will always remember how she went out of her way to make me feel welcome when I first moved to Hendersonville and didn't know a soul in town. She was a very special lady!

We remember Sunny and Rap enjoyed going out to eat with us and usually going for a scenic country ride after.

I will miss your radiance, your uplifting words, and your smile. You always shared so much of your love with our family. Sarah and I are so grateful that you were able to spend time with our son. You will be missed and remembered always. Thank you for being such a blessing! We love you

Joyce Patton

I remember that she was always very full of life and energy. As, all of the family was as they stayed close even as they were far away! That's something to hang on to. May God keep her safe in Heaven and Bless and, protect her family on Earth.

Sending my condolences to all of the family and friends of Sunny. I unfortunately never got the chance to meet her in person and to see that whit I would hear so much about, but I know how much she meant to you all.

You were the best grandma anyone could ask for. You were always so present spending time with any of your grand children, and loved taking us to have fun. You were always so caring about everyone else around, and brought a smile to those you met. We miss you so much, with so much love, Sarah, Alex and Cyrus

Patricia contributed to three of the anthologies of western NC women writers--beautiful and memorable poems; she came to the writers' parties, always a graceful, most pleasant, highly creative woman. "Blue Dome Cathedral" to "Women's Spaces Women's Places" in 2011. She was an inspiration in her writing and her presence. I am sorry to hear of her death.

So sorry to hear about Don's passing. He was the best part of Roy's Tuesdays at the church desk. Don brought joy and ease to all of us. With love, Marion and Steve Andersen

IT WAS AN HONOR THAT I HAD THE CHANCE TO TAKE CARE OF YOU AND MAKE A DIFFERENCE THE LAST FEW MONTHS. OF YOUR LIFE AND IN THE LIVES OF YOUR FAMILY. YOU WILL BE MISSED, BUT YOUR MEMORIES WILL BE CHERISHED.

Mrs Miller will always be remembered by me as my favorite elementary school teacher. She taught me, at the age of seven, to step out and try new things. She was a beautiful person, inside and out.

I will miss you having dinner with us at Casa Torres every week Mom.

I miss you already mom. Thanks for being such a great mother all of these years. You have always been a caring and compassionate person to not only your family and friends, but to so many others. I’m glad you and I were so close and got to spend time together. I will miss our times going junking, running errands, and going out for Mexican food. I love ya Mom, and will see you again some day. -Doug-

We saw Roger drawing closer to God during his time in Cottonwood, Arizona. We have fond memories of Bible Studies and fellowship on Sabbath afternoons. Likewise, we enjoyed many ‘mystery’ outings with Roger and Charlotte. RIP Roger, Jesus is coming soon to take you to your eternal home and those nagging back pains shall be NO MORE!

Oh Randy was such a caring person. One of the first memories was of meeting him at church Pentecostal Holiness Church on Washington Street.

I tried to call Bea on her last birthday but didnt get an answer. I never found out how to get in touch with her. We have good memories of her and her family. We will miss her.

In loving memory of Grandma and watching cowboy movies

I had the privilege of working with Don Ray several years back. Actually, he is the reason I got the job and was able to move to Hendersonville. Although I haven't seen him in years, he frequently crossed my mind and I am so thankful that I had the opportunity to meet and get to know him. I will be forever grateful for what he did for me and my prayers of comfort and peace go out to you, the family. Sincerely, Devin Winburn

My traveling with friend Don - will I miss you "YES" now who am I going to tell to "shut up" and when will I hear "your shut up to me". All the times that your name come to my mind - I'll hear you telling me to "shut up". Love you dear friend with all your ideas of traveling and saving deals that we all enjoyed together. And the Russian nesting dolls that you bartered for both of us to come up with a good deal. Please watch over us now from where you are - I know I'll join you one day. Friend, Marcella

So very sorry to all of you.

Jack and Sybil were my parents closest friends in Hendersonville. Sybil was so outgoing and interested in others. She reached out to me when I moved to H’ville in 2005, and got married in 2008. After my folks passing I stayed in touch w Sybil where she was just as upbeat and newsworthy as ever. I’m sure she was a tremendous influence for your whole extended family and will be missed greatly. RIP Sybil.

I am Frank's cousin and first met Pat on a double date when I visit Frank's family in Cincinnati. The next time we visited Chicago's MoS&I on the same day. We attended a family wedding in Virginia. Jerry and I tried to visit when we vacationed in Ashville, but Pat & Frank were gone on a retreat. What a disappointment. Nevertheless Christmas cards became a tradition.

Sibyl was a dear friend to my wife and I. Our condolences to her family. Elaine and Earl Bishop

Oh my Brother in Christ Roger, I pray you do rest well and I pray I’m able to meet you either in the clouds or on the sea of glass!

I also fondly remember our family visits to Uncle Don and Aunt Kate's home in Ohio - especially the "hidden" back staircase and the large open air porch. I also seem to recall that Uncle Don never finished painting that large house - just painted a different section each summer. My Mom (Pauline) & Aunt Kate were close in age and shared much with each other through the years. I always thought they could have been twins - they were so much alike in many way. Together again forever... full lives led.

My memorable Auntie moment

I remember our visits to the big, classic house in Fostoria, OH. My Aunt was so happy and fun. I always felt welcomed, and loved our family visits. She will be missed, but now she is with her other 9 brothers and sisters and all family she dearly loved

We await the day when we can say, "Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away...Then I,...saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, “Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away...behold, I make all things new.” - Revelation 21:1-5

We send our love and pray you will feel God's loving arms around you to comfort and sustain you.

Not a sweeter lady have I ever known. Jesus is holding my dear friend now and heaven is a place more beautiful.

Your loss is Heavens gain ! Such a dear sweet lady. Remembering your family in our prayers Joann Wayne Pace

As a child, I always enjoyed visiting Ain’t Kate and Uncle Don with my family, My sympathies and prayers for the family.

My first memories of golf at Etowah include Dan Yarborough. He was a great friend to my father and a mentor to me. He was the best of the best. With warmest regards. Terry and Maria Garren

We send our condolences to you and family. Aunt Catherine was a very sweet person. God bless you all

We were very sorry to hear of Dan's passing. We have so many fond memories of times spent with Dan and Sara over the years since joining Etowah Valley Country Club in the 60's. Dan was a good friend and will be missed.

Until we meet again sweet "Roger " May you rest in your sleep. It was such an honor to know you and love you... Kathy Justus..aka Boots ❤

One of the finer gentlemen one could ever meet. Always loved a round of golf with him. He will be missed greatly! Prayers for the family.

My Deepest Condolences to the entire Yarborough Family. Dan was a beautiful person very congenial to everyone. He was re-known for his ability to read every green at Etowah Valley Golf Club and if you made the putt after following his advice there would be a giggle coming from Dan. I understand he was one of those involved in starting the Shark Shootout at EVGC and he was re-known by all the golfers that came from numerous states to play in the Tournament.

Dottie, I am so sorry for your loss. I knew Eben as "Charlie" from working with him in New York at Liberty Mutual. He was very smart, very competent, personable and well respected both inside and outside the company. He always had good things to say about his family. He was proud of his family. I am sure God's face is shinning on him now.

My prayers are with the entire family during this difficult time! Jordan was a blessing to know and I loved his super sweet, loving heart and easy going nature! Heaven gained a beautiful soul! Love and prayers to all!

Our deepest sympathy, Dottie, at the passing of your dear husband. I will always remember the many hikes in these mountains with Eben -- especially the Forty Peaks Beyond 6000' -- when he could counted on for a long coversation to help pass the day-long hikes. Our group of ten Forty Peakes nicknamed him "Walkie Talkie". We learned all about his life, his family and the young people he lovingly helped. He was one of a kind. Bless Eben and bless you, Dottie.

Jenny & family, So very sorry for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers to all the family at this difficult time. My Dad thought so much of Dan at G.E. Cherish all the good memories you shared as a family, keep them close to your heart. Our love, Joe & Marilyn Thompson Tommy & Sharon King

Hugh and family. So sorry for your loss. Dan was a true gentleman, and a pleasure to be around. I always enjoyed my round of golf with him. He will be missed.

I'm so sorry to hear about Aunt Pauline. Although it's been a while, I've have so many wonderful memories visiting her over the years. She was always so kind to my family and I enjoyed her stories about her and my dad's adventures when they were younger. She will be missed!

Sorry to hear of Dan’s passing. Our community lost a fine man. Ed has fond memories from General Electric. Our condolences to the family. ❤️

Frank and Pat were our wonderful neighbors for 10 plus years in Cimarron Forest. If you needed either one, there were there in true neighbor fashion. Pat always made us laugh with her wry way of looking at situations. And it was always interesting to see the next project Frank had in their yard. We were sad to see her move after Franks death but knew it was a better place for her at Carolina Village. They were a wonderful couple. May sweet memories sustain your family

We were so very sorry to hear the heartbreaking news about Pat Podlipec and wish to extend our deepest sympathy to the family. Although in a better place and reunited with her wonderful husband, Frank, she will be dearly missed! We can't think of a nicer and more fun-loving couple than the two of them when we were square dancers at the Southern Lights Dance Club for many years! Spending quality time and sharing many experiences and laughs together was awesome! Pat was a real sweetheart in her own special way and just as kind as she was beautiful! Her loving smile and charming ways will always be in our heart. It was both a privilege and honor to know the Podlipecs. Now that they are both together, they will be two bright and shining stars in God's holy kingdom looking down on their dear family and friends. Just know that we love you, miss you, and send "yellow rocks" to both of you until we meet again.

Sad to hear of Mr. Yarbourogh passing this week....such a fine man who raised an amazing strong family....loved playing golf with Dan a few times....he had such a passion for the game....the game at Etowah Golf Club will miss Dan greatly and never be the same without his presence. Prayers for Cindy and Hugh and especially Jenny.....Love to all the family.

Teresa and Jeff, there are no words to express how sorry we are for you loss of Jordan. We remember Jordan playing youth baseball with our son Cameron. He always had a smile on his face and was "fast as lightening" running the bases. We know your precious memories of Jordan and the good Lord will help you through this difficult time.

My husband Kenny and I are both devastated to hear of our neighbor passing. Words cannot express our sadness and to know "Pat" will truly be missed. May the comfort of God help you through this difficult time.

My husband and I are still devastated to hear of our neighbor's passing . Words cannot express our sadness. May the comfort of God help you through this difficult time.

Jordan has left an empty space in his passing. I remember his kindness and thoughtfulness, he was always there with support, sometimes unspoken but clearly offered. Jordan was smart, quick and caring. He was instantly there to help if he saw a need. He was generous and gave freely to others. He loved his family and spoke of them often. i told him with affection that I was going to adopt him. You leave a big hole, Jordan Trantham.

To my absolute favorite and best teacher of all time, Mr. Orr, thank you for your inspiration and your high expectations. As I shared with you many times, you impacted my life and made it better. I aspired to the position of professional educator and used the strengths and abilities you saw in me and refined, to teach my students. All my love and prayers for your family, the Bearcat Family, and Hendersonville. We have suffered a great loss and a heartbreak that will never mend.

Praying for God's comfort in this difficult time for all the family who gave her such excellent care during her long illness. I know Pauline is happy to be at home with Jesus and her beloved Norman. I cherish our childhood memories and will miss having our conversations we had over the years. And I'm so thankful that Jesus made a way to see her again.

Peace, Mom.

Wilkie Family, our deepest sympathy and prayers for each of you. Heaven has gained a precious lady !!! Looking forward to that Glad Reunion Day !!

PAULINE WAS A VERY SWEET LADY.SHE WILL BE MISSED! I CAN JUST HEAR THE SWEET HEAVEN BELLS, RINGING. PRAYERS WILL BE SAID, FOR ALL OF THE FAMILY.

Dear Family please know we love you and will be praying for each one of you during this sad time. But we know Preacher Darrell is kicking up gold dust in heaven. Wish we could have seen his entrance and Jesus saying Welcome Home!

The memories...Jordan giggling and playing at French Broad, smiling constantly, always cheerful, running after Jeffory, Jennifer, Chae, Laura, Andrew, Kyle & Charles. He was a joy to watch, laugh with, and hug. Remember the laughs, the hugs, the joys, the love he brought to you. He was an inspiration to me when he was a child. He was energetic, vivacious, bright red headed, and giggled so beautifully. The pain you carry is horrific but be reminded of the breath of fresh air he was! He brought life and excitement to everyone he met. Jordan, may you somehow know we all loved you with all of our being and each of us holds memories of you that has left indelible impressions on our lives. Thank you for giving so much.

Jeff and Teresa, words feel shallow in a situation such as this, but know how very sorry we are for your loss. We are thinking of you today and in the days to come. Praying for “the peace that passes all understanding”...

Ruth and Jim Mark and John and families I am glad for the celebrate card. Pat was a great friend and really missed her when she moved to NC.

You have our sympathy during this sad time!

Teresa and Jeff So very sorry to hear about this! Parents should not outlive their children. I will continue to pray for peace for you both.

Thank you for the beautiful card! The poem tells the story of Pat's deep faith and the strength with which she endured loss and illness. I knew Frank and Pat from exercise classes at the Hendersonville Racquet Club and we reconnected with Pat when she moved to Carolina Village. She was always cheerful and we had conversations about the times we shared in the past. She was a gentle soul with a joyful spirit. My condolences to the family and wishes for peace during this sad time.

Chae, sorry to hear about your loss of your brother. My thoughts and prayers are with your family at this time.

Jeff and Teresa, there just aren’t any words. I will keep you and your family lifted up in prayer for peace and comfort

Mark, John and families, thank you so much for the remembrance card for your mom. We first met your parents when we joined First Methodist Church together. A few years later we were neighbors. Always enjoyed talking with Pat and Frank when walking in the neighborhood. Frank enjoyed tennis and really had fun playing mixed doubles. Your mom was such a gentle soul, and you chose a perfect poem to express her gentle nature. We will miss both Pat and Frank. Ted and Gerry Williamson

Elizabeth, your dad was always so good-humored, patient, and kind during our many drives to and from Glassboro. I always enjoyed his company.

I am so sorry to hear of The passing of Pat. I worked with her at Clay for many years. She was always kind and caring. She will forever have a special spot in my heart.

Thank you for sending the Memorial Card notification. My condolences to you. Pat and I were friends in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin when Frank worked for Boy Scouts of America in Eau Claire. John and Mark played with my boys Kurt and Brad as little boys. We all attended Trinity United Methodist Church and our children were in Sunday School together. Pat and I were stay at home moms and often had afternoon coffee together. This was in the 1970's. Good memories. We stayed in contact on birthdays and Christmas. All the best to your family.

I too have known Pat & Frank for 20+ years. She was a wonderful lady and dear friend. We shared the same birthday and never let each other forget that day. I enjoyed all the gatherings we had together. She was a good square dancer and had her hands full keeping Frank line, as well as other things. She will be missed and I extend my condolences to the entire Podlipec family. Rest in peace with Frank.

Pat and Frank were wonderful friends, and we enjoyed the many trips to the Hendersonville Little Theater with them, always following a dinner at a local restaurant. We enjoyed her published book regarding her family life as well as many of her poems. Her passing, as well as Frank's, leaves a BIG hole in our hearts.

Thank You John & Mark for the special memory card in honor of your dear mother. A beautiful tribute! We belonged to the same Bible study group in Berlin and shared her faith that provided strength and grace. You may remember Frank and I played together in many a tennis tournament! My Christmas card to Pat was returned so I really am grateful for your update and extend my sympathy and love to you and all her family!

Terri, you and the family are in my prayers during this difficult time. Myron was truly a blessing to work with at MIT and Equilibar. I'll always remember his caring nature. When my daughter Erika would come help me at work, he would make sure she had some snacks. He joked that I never feed her and renamed her his "Jessica ". So from then on thats what he would call her when she came to the office. She also sends her love and prayers to the family. Love that we will see him again one day in heaven!

As we pass through this life you only meet so many people who are easy going and always make you feel good when you see them. Kent was one of those people. Always a fun guy to be around.

We would run into Myron and Terry many, many times at Walmart, of all places. We loved talking to them there. Our condolences to the family. May God give you comfort and peace.

A beautiful man and I love the way he finished well! Thank you Jesus for the faithful example of this Saint!

Myron was always such an inspiration. God's light shown through him in all that he did.

To Nancy's family, I am so sorry to hear of her passing. I knew her when we both went to HHS. I didn't know that in the future I would be joining DAR and she would be the Regent at that time. I always loved her and enjoyed DAR with her. She will be missed. Prayers for all of you.

I am very sorry for your loss. I have alot of fond memories eating at Hubert's and listening to stories of his adventures and his family that he loved so much! Prayers for all of you.

Terri, Blake, Brad and family,. My heart goes out to each of you as you go thru this time following Myron's promotion to Heaven after his lengthy illness. What a valiant battle he fought and now he is rejoicing in Heaven in the presence of the Lord with a perfect and healed body. What a legacy he has left for all of us to follow. The scripture passage in his obituary is perfect for Myron. Please know that each of you are in my heart, my thoughts and my prayers as you walk thru this journey of grief. May God's grace sustain you all! And remember, we will see Myron again one day soon when we all get to Heaven!!! My love to you all! Alton

So sorry to hear of Earl's passing. He was a proud member of the the Edneyville class of 1957, and liked by all his classmates.. Our condolences to his family.

Another member of the same Book Club as mentioned before, I always admired Pat for her grace, sweetness, and gentle demeanor. My condolences to her sons who I know will miss the lovely lady she was.

Mike, Bobby and Cheryl, truly sorry for your loss. I only met Bonnie on a few occasions when she came to Norfolk to visit, but each time it as if we knew each other for many years. The loss of a Mom for all is always so challenging, but we must remember all the great times Mom's have provided throughout our life time...they are the rock of the family. I am sure she will be missed and my blessings to each of you and to her significant other Jerry.

Ronnie loved to play canasta and we loved to play with her. She frequently had a good joke to tell us.

Michelle Gossett-Class of 1992 Mr. Orr was willing to enhance the best potential of any student willing to learn. I gained a passion for Shakespeare through his teaching and passion for Shakespeare. He made learning fun, but he was not tolerant of giving less than the best of your potential in his class. I remember making an A in his class and feeling such pride. I challenged an English teacher in college. I told him as far as English and English teachers are numbered. I did not need validation from any other instructor for the rest of my life to my literacy or competence in English. I had studied under Tom Orr and made an A which to me is the highest honor I will ever receive.

Pat and I were members of the same Book Club and Mah Jongg group. She will be missed by all of us. Sincere condolences to Mark, John, and all of Pat’s family.

So sorry to hear this have many fond memories of Bonnie in high school. Prayers to her family and to Jerry

All of you are in my thoughts and prayers. I am so sorry for your loss and know that he touched many lives especially mine with his kindness and generosity. My favorite memory is working a long day at the Curb Market and Earl peaking around the corner with some sugar cookies to offer us. His stories and laughter were always a treat to put a smile on your face. He will be truly missed until we see him again in Heaven.

WOW! I thought that with all her energy and positive vibes that Bonnie might live forever. Her spirit will endure a long time despite the big hole she will, for sure, leave in the lives of many. Condolences sent to all of those who loved Bonnie. She will be long remembered by many.

Pat was a beautiful lady inside and out. We were friends for the last 20 years here in Hendersonville and enjoyed may activities, games groups, and parties together. Her Christian values always pulled her through some difficult times. Her grace and beauty will always be remembered.

I will miss a neighbor and Mah Jongg player.

My grandmother, Mama Linda, was like a second mother to me. I have countless memories of us together over the years. She introduced me to so many different facets of life that are still so much a part of me today. I see so much of her in myself that I know she's still with me in more ways than one. I'm so grateful that she was such a big part of my life. And I'm grateful that after a long, full life that she is finally reunited with her parents, her husband and her sister.

It is a sobering experience to watch the wave of one's generation breaking on the shores of eternity. The news of Bonnie's passing hit us both hard. For many years the whole family was a big part of our lives.We truly feel and share your loss. Mike, Cheryl, Bob and all the family you are in our thoughts and prayers. There are too many great memories to share here. The day will come when we can share them here. That day will also come when we can share them with Bonnie in a better place and time. Love you all and may God's peace comfort your hearts.

My prayers are with you Fran. Earl will be dearly missed. We will all miss his smiling face around the Curb Market.

Ryan, so sorry for the loss of your dad and your mom. Both was dear fine people. May you be comforted by Gods strength.

So sorry for your loss.

So sorry for your loss keeping the family in my prayers May God Be With you all at this Difficult time .

To Fran, Jerry, Bobby, Cheryl, Michael and their families, We will all miss our dear friend, Bonnie. She is "Heaven-bound" because she had Jesus in her life. Bonnie was sweet, caring, and talented. I will miss you, honey.

I'm so sorry about Bonnie's passing. I don't think I ever saw her without a big smile on her face. She sure loved her family, and was so proud of everyone. May God comfort you all.

Bonnie was always a ray of sunshine!! I have had the pleasure of being her friend since grade school. We graduated from HHS in 1961 and have continued as good friends. She and Jerry joined us many times for dinner and laughs! Love you lady!!

Bonnie was very sweet. Mike her sun is my brother in law. You will be missed very much . Rest in piece.

Tom was a delightful gentleman and historian, always with a quick smile and a story.. I knew him from his work on the library board. He will be sorely missed. Best wishes to all his family.

He was always smiling and so pleasant every time we saw him. May God keep you and your family in His hands and give you comfort.

It's been a very tough year. Please accept my deepest sympathies for your losses. I am sending you my wishes and prayers for peace and strength to lead you through this.

Julie, thank you for how you always treated me. You were always willing to listen to what I had to say and carried a smile that brightened my day. You always made me feel included & were so sweet to me. Rest in peace Julie, see you soon.

What I have learned about Linda, first and foremost, she is my aunt, cousin by law. My dad, Jimmie McDaniel’s mother Eula Williams McDaniel, took Linda in at 5 years and Marilyn 3, after the loss of their mother from an aneurysm at age 28 and their father by a train accident a year later. Louise was sister of Eula and Aunt Myrtice . Eula took in both girls at once and Little Jimmie, who had been alone on the plantation had immediate two new sisters! But, after a couple of years, when baby Robin was born, it was too much for Eula with Jimmie, baby Robin, and two girls that did not always get along. Myrtice decided to take Marilyn to live with her in Tampa and Eula took Linda to continue living in Tallahassee at Welaunee Plantation. The many stories are way to long to tell! My dad said Linda always blamed him for her various veins in her legs by convincing her to jump out of the top of a hayloft running from Grandma Williams! Also, a few years ago, I met a gentleman who courted Linda while at Leon high school, he was invited out to Welaunnee and stated she took him on a fabulous horse and buggy ride! Even years later, Don Ritchie was still taken by Linda and his memories of her! He even married a Linda!.... Although separated in different homes, Linda and Marilyn were together quite often with their close knit family. Aunt Linda, Uncle Johnnie, Mark and Terry visited often with lots of fun memories playing in Grama Eula’s yard and the house in Georgia. Uncle Johnny and Linda had great senses of humor and when Marilyn and her husband David Johnson were there, there was constant laughter and great times hanging out with Jimmie and Patsy McDaniel, Uncle Ronnie and others! Another great memory, Aunt Linda always remembered my birthday, she always made me feel so special almost like somehow I was secretly her favorite.... that’s how she was, she wanted everyone to feel she was only there for that one person whom she was with. I’ll never forget the warmth and happiness she gave me. The last time I went to visit her was November 2019, we traveled over from Pigeon Forge to visit Linda and take her to lunch. We had a great time! We went to Cracker Barrel, ate a lot of good food and took pie to go! We then drove around sightseeing until she was tired. I always loved how she called my honey or sweetie. Our last call on her birthday was wonderful, we talked about her blackberry pound cake and I sand a very off-key Happy Birthday song that made her laugh that beautiful fun laugh I’ll always remember. I’ll hold onto that call how happy she was! My Dad Jimmie McDaniel, was quite the brother I’m sure with pranks okayed and lessons taught and learned! He has the stories! My memory of Linda of how sophisticated she appeared when she came to visit at grandmas after her and Uncle Johnny meet. We were small kinds then... we loved playing in the huge yard at a grandmas and Granddaddy’s! Linda always laughed vivaciously

My mother was a strong advocate for the children she cared for as a social worker and an even stronger advocate for her own children throughout their lives. We were so lucky to have her as our mom. I miss you mommy!!!!

Lake Bowen Fish Camp has been one of the highlights of our annual trip to the Maxwell family farm each year. It was never a challenge to persuade JZ to act as chauffeur and as host for the drive through the beautiful countryside to this favorite, delicious destination. Although those visits to the mountains meant wonderful meals with family and friends, they also always included music. (I suspect J was a secret rock and roller). We enjoyed going with him to the Feed and Seed to hear a variety of groups and loved the Music on Main evenings in town. The farm itself was a source of pride for J and for Linda. Maintaining the wonderful property and making sure there were always living creatures to enjoy took lots of time and effort. Rounding the curve of the gravel road and seeing Grandma’s house sitting shaded by those big old trees always made me smile. More often than not, J would be waiting on the porch to make sure I arrived in one piece. He took great care of Grandma’s house so all who visited had a comfortable place to stay. It was the gathering spot for friends and family on special occasions and for occasions that were just made special by being there. JZ and Linda were a devoted husband and wife and I will take comfort knowing they are reunited again. With much love and many memories of you, Kim

Ryan. I loved your mom and dad so much and was so blessed with their friendship over these years. Know that you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers at this time.

Mary was one of a kid, and we loved her dearly. She always made me laugh with her snarky remarks. You will be dearly missed Mary. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Rob and I are so saddened to hear of the passing of Ronnie. She was a beloved neighbor and friend.

You will be missed dearly.

Patricia was a dear friend and I miss her so much! My sincere condolences to her sons and other family members. Pat was fun to know and we enjoyed playing dulcimer and our many visits together over the past few years. She was a kind, lovely person, and easily made friends. Pat will be missed by all who knew her.

Mark and Terry, I am so sorry for your loss. Aunt Linda was a very special lady and I do mean lady. She sent the prettiest birthday cards and I was receiver of some of those newspaper clippings. She was a devoted sister and called, wrote and sent a card every week when Mom was ill. I love you cousins. Sending lots of love!!!

Aunt Linda was the best auntie a girl could ask for. Her smile and soft Southern accent could melt anyone. I will miss her.

A lot of people wouldn’t know her by Julie...as I know you by Sailor... Rest In Peace my friend !! Your healed and will always remain In in my heart and in my prayers ... your free. !!! My condolences to her family !!sending stream the and prayers

This picture does show her jovial personality and I know she will be missed by all who knew her. My condolences to you Annie, and your family. May her memory live on forever with you.

So sorry for your loss. I worked with Fuller at Volvo and he always made me laugh, listening to his story’s, I will always remember how he told me that the first time he heard The Beatles it changed his world. He was a real character , rest In Peace Fuller

We are so sad we did not get a visit with Jo one more time. We have been talking about it for a year and was waiting for the right time.

Let us know when you have a memorial. [email protected]

RIP MR.ORR...YOU WILL BE MISSED BY MANY....

RIP MR.ORR..YOU WILL BE MISSED BY MANY....

I have so many fond memories of Tom Orr. Most importantly, he challenged me to do my best and believed in me. His wit and humor were second only to his love of teaching others. He changed my life for the better in so many ways.

One of the best teachers I had at HHS (84) He instilled confidence and brought out the best in his students. Kept in touch even after school up to Dec 31. Definitely will be missed. Thoughts and prayers to the family

Tom Orr was a good friend to me and my family. I was able to move from calling him Mr. Orr when he taught me high school English to Tom when he directed me to two of his historic courthouse plays. I was not involved in drama in high school but always wanted to be. My husband Bill was the actor. I knew Tom would wanted Bill for parts in the courthouse plays and to get to Bill, he went through me! Lol, I was a hard one to teach but he made me feel valuable to the plays. He called me his lucky penny. Tom loved my mother, Beulah Morgan. He interviewed her once for his article. They also enjoy discussing the teenage canteen and changes over the years. Tom was always so happy to see his students. I especially loved catching up with him at the annual HHSAA Hall of Fame Awards. We both loved beach music and shag dancing. Thank you Tom for making me an actress! You will be missed! I hope someone carries out his vision of having bronze statutes on Main Street commemorating folks who contributed so much to Hendersonville. He had mentioned Don Barber and Robroy Farquhar. I think a statute of Tom Orr would fit right in!

Mr.Orr was a standout during my high school years as well as afterwards. Always took time to stop and chat about anything and everything. We have lost a true champion and Bearcat, much too soon.
