With my wife, Evelyn, we mourn the passing of a fellow "saint" in God's family, rejoicing in having known, for some 12+ years, a gentle soul, a true Gentleman, and a good friend. As a fellow educator, I was pleased to also have worked with him in his capacity as a congregational Elder, and having the pleasure of serving him in my role as his Pastor for some 8 years at Faith Lutheran, FFB. He now joins the "great cloud of witnesses" of Hebrew 11 in the Church triumphant. Praise God!
