Naples, FL Monday, September 21, 2020 Dear David and Diane, I am so saddened to hear of your father's passing. Both of your parents were such great friends of my parents, Rev. and Mrs. Hoppers. My family spent many good times at your parents home talking, eating, and watching Razorback games.Over the years, your wonderful father gave many haircuts to my sons. I always enjoyed being around your father. He had a kind sweet Christian spirit and he and your mother both had an impact on my life. I enjoyed visiting you father and mother at their Christian book store when I came home to visit over the years.
May you find comfort during your time of great sorrow. God bless you both and everyone in both of your families.
