Matt & Angie,
I’ve known your Dad for over 40 years. He was a great guy that I have fond memories of. We had drifted apart in the last 10+ years. He was a friend like not many of us have the opportunity to appreciate in a lifetime. He was extremely proud of both his children. We enjoyed working together at 3 or 4 different companies which made for this lasting friendship. We will all miss him. I am so very sorry for your loss.

Bill and I went to school together and had lots of fun times! I know he will be missed and prayers have been said for your family.
Bill and I spent our junior high and high school years together in Ardmore. His passing reminds us all that memories are all that we leave behind us. He will be fondly remembered and he will be missed.
