Beverly, Peyton, Susan and Bruce,
Anne and I are so sorry to hear of your loss. O.W. was always one of my heroes, and I will miss him dearly. In the last few years that I would visit Beverly and him, the simple "thumbs up" that he would give me, acknowledging that he approved of our mission, meant more to me than any other encouragement. Please know we are praying for all of you.
Blessings,
Horace

I enjoyed my discussions with O.W. "Rat" when we were talking about his war experience during my brief visits in the last few years. I remember him in the woods at O.K. Club when we were duck hunting and growing up in Frenchman's Bayou...next door. My sympathy to all of the family. John, Nathan & Sandra Speck
