He suffered a stroke March 18th and being confined to his bed he bore his suffering with love, patience being kind to all. Let us not weep for he has only gone on before, we know it is sad to say farewell but we love this consolation he is at rest.  He leaves to mourn his passing four daughters and one son, five grandchildren, Reba Randel, Marie Craft, Norman Elliott, Corine and Geneva Turner, 3 great grandchildren and a host of relatives and friends.  “In men whom men condemn as ill I find so much of goodness still, In men who men pronounce divine I find so much of sin and blot; I hesitate to draw a line Between the two where God has not.”
