Met Dave through his friend and neighbor Mary. Sad to hear of his passing.

I had the wonderful opportunity to work alongside Dave nearly every Friday at the N.C. Aquarium during his years of tremendous service and support. Even as a volunteer, Dave beat nearly all of us to work each Friday and provided great confidence that animal coverage was good for that day. My condolences to Dave's family and friends. You'll be missed buddy!

David and I will miss seeing Doug in the Faith Builders Sunday school class. He offered words of wisdom. We will continue to lift Debra and Margaret up in our prayers.

Our deepest condolences to all of Dave’s family and friends. May our friendship and prayers ease you all through this difficult time. We are forever indebted to Mary Ann Harris for introducing Dave into our lives. You will be loved and missed!

I so loved David. He was my friend for many years....i met him thru Mary when they worked together at sterling winthrop here in upstate NY. Dave and Brian and family i am so sorry for your loss.

Dr Lewis was the man who led me down the path of a parks and recreation professional. It was his class that got me interested in continuing a career in p&r. My first mentor, you will be missed.

Beth was such a sweet, kind & generous lady. It was such a pleasure to have her as my cousin-in-law, as I am Gene's first cousin. My thoughts & prayers are with the family. Love, Patsy

My thoughts & prayers

I recall when Coby first came on board with us in the 302nd Tactical Airlift Wing, 356th Tactical Airlift squadron, thinking "He's awfully young". But as time, flying hours, and missions, wore on it soon became apparent both his excellent skills as a pilot and also his ability to lead and make decisions. With heavy heart this news is received. Memories of serving with him will never be forgotten. May God bless and rest his soul.

I remember when Coby came aboard with us in the 302nd Wing, 356 Tactical Airlift Squadron. Recall thinking at the time " He's awfully young. But as time, and flying hours wore on, I soon realized his potential both as an excellent pilot and leader.! An amazing man, great pilot, and dear friend. Such a sad blow to our hearts to see him called at so young an age. Fond memories of him will always be with us.. God bless and rest his soul.

To all the McLeod Family, Please accept my condolences on the loss of your wife and mom. For so many years of my young life she was so gracious to accept me in your home for lunches, over nights, playing James Taylor albums in the basement and fun on the balance beam! Clair and Philip and I were together in school all the way through high school. So many great memories. Your Mom always made me feel welcome and like a part of the family and she was a good friend to my mother as well. Now she and Laura can gab in heaven....they were so good at that here on earth!!! My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Catherine Kilian Lopez

I flew with Colby in the 356tas. He was a highly skilled pilot and a good friend. He will be missed by former squadron members.

So sorry for your loss. You have lost your best friend and partner. He was a wonderful Husband and Father. You had so many beautiful years together. Such wonderful memories. You have your beautiful family to comfort at this time. Love to All

Enjoyed working with "PeeWee" in the WFD. May GOD"S love and grace be with all the family during this time and always.

Well miss always Frankie, one of the most happy genuine people ever to have met and call a brother. Our prayers are with You Kristy and dear Hudson. Ghost Busters and Tool will never be the same. Always love you bother.!

Meeting Frankie 3 things stood out and were very apparent , he loved Kristy more than anything, he was an amazing kind soul and he was an amazing father who loved his son more than anything. Watching their relationship grow from dating, married and then parents has been watching a story of true love and devotion. He will be forever missed.

We grew up as neighbors on North Street. Fond memories of all us kids running "wild" because we knew everyone and their parents....

I had the unique opportunity of knowing Paul Laird from both sides of the Cape Fear River. Paul sponsored me for the "Friends of Fort Fisher" Board of Directors. When I was Vice President of the Brunswick Civil War Round Table, across the river at Fort Caswell, Paul joined us as an Advisor. Paul’s background and knowledge of Civil War and Fort Fisher, made Paul a real asset to both organizations. Add his commitment and passion for American history, he covered both sides of the Cape Fear River in American history. I was proud to call Paul Laird an associate and a friend. His congenial personally and friendly smile will be missed by all who knew him.

Chester I always told you that you were the best adult babysitter I ever knew, I have no idea where you got your patience you will surely be missed you touched a lot of souls rest in peace hope to see you on the other side.

Our memories of Coby go back close to 30 years. He was without a doubt one of the most gifted and talented people we've known. Everyone who knew Coby appreciated his funny side as well. And those who knew him well appreciated his culinary skills, too. We'll always remember Coby as a dear friend and neighbor. Coby, you will be missed by many. Our condolences to the entire Johnson family.

Terry was my first friend in my life..both our Mothers were named Jean...they dressed us alike...we had a neighbor Club called the OK CLUB where all the kids on the block would go in Sat mornings...WINDERFUL MEMORIES OF MY FIRST BEST FRIEND

Colby - Kevin and I met you for the first time at The McDermotts holiday party - and you were the life of the party. Although we didn’t have the pleasure of knowing you for long, you will be surely missed. Parties will never be the same. Rest In Peace

Prayers are lifted up for the entire family and friends. Rest In Peace Captain

I am so sorry to hear of Rob's passing. What a terrific guy, he was the best. Never forget our time with your family in Center Moriches. Rob & his boats, and his toys. God bless him!

Colby- you will be greatly missed. Although we only knew you for a short time, you made our time together very special. Your stories of flying were always great to listen to. I’m sure you’re still in the cockpit.

I am so sorry Kristy, Hudson and all of Frankie's family and friends. Frankie impacted so many people's lives in such a good way. He was a great family man and loved Kristy and Hudson so much. They defined true love. He and Kristy helped me laugh through some very hard times and Frankie's kindness and ability to connect with good people was amazing. Many of us miss you dearly, Frankie.

thank you for your service

Sandy, Chris and Melissa, May the love of family and friends and memories of Rob wrap you in love, joy and comfort in the months ahead. Thank you for loaning Rob to the Battleship where he was an outstanding volunteer. Behind that mellow attitude was a brilliant mind. His excellent projects will be enhancing the visitor experience for years to come. We miss him (and your parents too, Sandy)!

You will be missed Chester

Sandy, Chris and Melissa, May the love of family and friends and your memories of Rob wrap you in love and joy and comfort in the months ahead. The Battleship was most fortunate in having Rob as a volunteer. Behind his mellow exterior, he was brilliant in his abilities to execute projects which continue to enhance visitor experience. Thank you for loaning Rob to us (and Sandy, your parents even before that!).

May you all find comfort in your memories of him. God Bless each and everyone of his family and friends ❣️

So very sorry to hear this. What a great guy! Always such a pleasure to talk to and be around. He will be sorely missed by many I am sure.

Sincere and heartfelt condolences to each of you. Praying for peace, strength and comfort.

Joe, DeeDee and Daniel, So very sorry for your loss. He will be missed.

I did not have the good fortune to know Mrs. McCleod personally, but I certainly enjoyed hearing about her through her wonderful daughter, Clair. She was a remarkable woman. Please accept my sincere condolences and may God bless and comfort your family during this difficult period.

I am so very sorry to hear about Terry's passing. My heart and prayers extend to the Noe and Gilbert family. I was so fortunate and blessed to be part of the Noe's family move to Wilmington, NC. Terry will be very missed!

Prayers and love your way.

Mrs. Rinaldi will be missed very much by our family. I always stopped by when I saw her over her daughters house who is my next door neighbor. I was always happy to see her, and had good laughs on our conversations. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family. She had a kind heart and always made you feel welcomed when I dropped by to say hello. Rest in peace we love you.

Our sympathy and love go to Gene, Ann, Clair, Gwen and all her family in the loss of Beth, a lovely and gracious woman to whom we were very happily connected.

I am very sorry for your loss.

Passed from this earth too soon. You will be missed, but we can gain comfort in knowing you are now at peace and with your loving parents. GOD bless you ❤

With deepest sympathy to the entire family!

I am so very sorry for your loss. He was such a kind and talented man and I enjoyed working with him on the Battleship. He is missed.

So sorry for your loss. Prayers for strength.

What a wonderful Obituary. He had a Wonderful life and he will be missed by so many! Remembering all the great memories that he was part of. Love Ed and Arline

I Was a classmate at Shallotte High School :& also related thru the Lennon Family. He was a fun loving guy & was good at pulling a joke when you did not expect one.

I worked with Ann for a few years at Lowe’s in Plainfield CT. I was going thru some tough time s as I was adopting my children and was ready to shut down at one point. Ann steeped in and guided me as to how to balance my work and use it as an escape as well. I am forever great full for that and I never forgot her kindness and patience with me. My condolences to her family she will be missed.

To the entire McLeod Family; thank you! Our family has been blessed by your Folks/Grandparents. We have many cherished memories of time spent with Beth & Gene. It was always pure joy to be in their presence-radiating God’s love and grace. We will miss Beth’s beautiful smile, sweet embrace, and gentle spirit. Big love to Gene as he navigates this new “normal”. The entire Caperton Clan sends you our love and prayers!

Beth hired me as a childcare worker when I attended SEBTS, then nurtured & supported me when I served as Minister of Education & Children for nine years at her beloved church in Wake Forest. She helped shape my life and ministry and will always hold a special place in my heart. Our world is better, richer for having her here these 89+ years. My heart goes out to Gene and her daughters & families. Beth will be sorely missed...until we meet again. God’s peace be with each of you.

We always enjoyed your jokes and laughter at the horse shoe games during parties at your parents, rest in peace sweet soul.

Though we’d lost touch over the years, I’ll never forget a summer he and his friends spent taking me under their wing. Frankie always...always made everyone feel accepted. For some reason, I always think of him when I hear “Ramblin’ Man”. Praying for peace and comfort for Kristy, Hudson, and all of his loved ones.

I remember Victor from Wallace-Rose Hill, class of 1964. Although he was quiet, he had an unassuming nature and was very sincere. I can still remember his cute laugh! I was glad to see and talk with him at our reunion. To Callie, Steven and Richard - I hope that time will heal your sadness and bring back the many happy times you shared with Victor over the years. May this true patriot of our wonderful country and God rest in his hands.

Mrs. Gladies, I'm sorry that I never had the opportunity to meet you. I have been friends with Sharon ever since she lived in Immokalee and we worked at the bank together. In viewing your memorial video, I can see where Sharon inherited her personality! Which is why I love her. I know you will be missed by your family and friends. But I know that Mr. Neville and others were there with open arms too meet you on the other side. May you rest in eternal peace. Sending my Love & Blessings to Sharon and all the family. (I feel like I know most of you.)

Ashley, Falon, Tyler. My heart breaks for you all. To lose your Mama, and then your Daddy so close together. But the best thing going forward, is to make them Proud. Be happy, do good. Make a good life for yourselves. That's what they would both would want for Ya'll. Two good people taken way to soon. But for some reason. That was GOD'S PLAN. Prayers for you all. Joe's mom and sister's also. Love ya'll. If ya need anything we are here.

She was a wonderful person I looked for her in Church she would always be there. She will truly be missed R. I. P.

So sorry to hear of your Mom's passing, Clair. She sounds like she was quite a woman. Reading about her made me think of you immediately. She passed on great traits you can cherish in her memory.

We are praying for you during this difficult time. Love to you and Hudson and the rest of the Prokop family.

Rest easy Loan Wolf. You will be missed. ❤

Dear Kristy, Hudson, and all of Frankie's family and friends: My heart is with you in your sorrow but I am sending you love and wishes for peaceful, healing hearts and only beautiful memories.

Good man. Sorry to hear he has past.

What a dear woman was Beth and the world is a sadder place with her beautiful soul gone. When I was 17 and experiencing issues at home, dear Beth and Gene opened their home and their hearts to me. For a time, I was privileged to have Beth as my second mother. I learned so much from her - how to lead a satisfying life of kindness, how to have a career, how to be a loving and supportive wife, and how to be the type of mother that set high standards, but provided the love and support to ensure her children had the foundation to succeed. As a mother, I used dear Beth as a model and if I am in any way a good mother, I can thank Beth for her inspiration. My deepest sympathy to dear Gene, Ann, Beth, Claire, and her loving extended family. Thank you Dear Beth for loving a lost teenager many years ago.

I’m so very sorry for your loss. My prayers are with all of you! Frankie was an amazing soul, and always spoke with so much love about his family. I am so sorry

Brandy and family I am so sorry for the loss of your father. You will be in our prayers.

Cathy was my program officer for many years for my NIH grants through her institute, and something of a "rabbi" for the combined grants I often held. She was a lovely person, a wonderful counselor, and a well-read scientist. She was devoted to finding solutions to health problems through science. I liked her very much, and I can hardly believe she is gone. She deserved a much longer happy life with the family she loved and cherished. Please accept my deepest sympathy. Pam Davis

As a young new member of her church, I can remember her kindness and the delicious meal at their home. Later we reconnected through her daughter, Clair Peyton. What a beautiful life and a beautiful family.

As one of those new members at Wake Forest Baptist Church, I can attest to her welcome at a meal in her lovely home. Years later we reconnected through her daughter. Clair Peyton. What a beautiful life and a beautiful family.

I will always remember Beth’s wonderful smile. She made you feel like a special friend. She truly lived a Christian life. She certainly lived a wonderful and full life. We will be praying for her clan.

You will forever be the piece missing from my heart. I love you little brother.

Mary and Roger Rogers are thinking of our Beloved friend Fred at this time. We're here for you buddy. Virtual hugs and kisses for you and Momma Grace.

Mary and Roger Rogers are thinking of our beloved friend Fred and his Family at this time. We love you and are here for you. Virtual hugs and kisses for you and Momma Grace.

SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS CATHY & FAMILY R,I,P.joe

Victor you will really be missed, especially on first Sundays when we phoned with each other. I remember the times as kids we played together, worked together plowing behind the mules, sometimes arguing, playing together at Grandmother's on Sunday afternoons with our cousins, and riding the school bus together for many years. I always thought you would outlive me as skinny as you were with a full head of hair,with color, and healthy. But you are in heaven with Jesus now where we all are looking forward to going when our time comes, which only the Lord knows. Your brother...Richard

We are all very saddened to lose Miriam who was part of the Chief Counsel family. She was well loved by all who worked with her. I send my heartfelt condolences to Miriam's son and family.

My condolences to the Avery Family. Gene aka Papa Smuff will greatly be missed by his golfing buddies. May he RIP

My prayers and thoughts with you all

We will sure miss visiting Mr. Howard and talking to him on the phone! No matter when we visited, he was always smiling and would say how good things were....never complaining! We love you Mrs. Grace...and know we're here for you!

Grace, Frederick, Rhonda, Helen and Hilda Grace and family, you are in my prayers. Howard sure loved his family and loved staying in touch when he could. Mom and dad always looked forward to his phone calls.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.Your family has been thru a lot in the last few months.Prayers to you all.love Paul,Cheryl,Kim and Keith and Abby.

Callie and Steve we were so sorry to learn of Victor's passing. We just learn this tonight when I saw it on Facebook. I didn't realize that he was that sick. He has been on our prayer list at Ogden Baptist Church and then Carlton saw Steven on the Sunday after Victor fell at the hospital and he said he was in the ICU but thought he would soon be going to a room. I am just so sorry that I didn't call and check on him again. We are keeping you both in our prayers and hesrts and sending you love and hugs. Please call me if there is anything al all that I can do for you or if just someone to talk to later. Pray that God will give you Steven the strength and help you need to get through the weeks and months ahead. Love you.

We were saddened to her about Victor. Know that we are lifting you both up in prayer, for comfort, peace, and strength for the difficult days ahead. We love you both.

We were sanded Ed to hear of Victor’s passing. Know that we are lifting you up in prayer for comfort, strength & peace in the difficult days, weeks, & months ahead. We love you both.

I am happy to say that I got really close with my Aunt Sheila and Uncle Joe. This has been one of the hardest things to ever hit our family. Joe and Sheila both know how close our family was, which is why I was able to have so many unforgettable conversations with Uncle Joe. He always showed so much appreciation knowing he married into a close family. He loved his kids and grand babies to no end. I hope they are dancing together in heaven and watching over their loved ones. I will never forget either of you ❤️

I send my heartfelt condolences to the family. Cathy and I would always kid about what I was going to do next in our career. It was coincidental that she came to MCV in Richmond and worked with some of the same people I had during my MD, PhD training. She then suddenly appeared on the 8th floor of the Clinical Center and saw my name on a number of files and cabinets. Later she also followed me to the extramural side of NIDDK. She did beat me to retirement. We both had many fond memories of our experiences. Always remember the good times.

When I heard there was a chance to recruit Cathy to lead genetic metabolic research at NIDDK I jumped at the opportunity and she never let me forget that I began recruiting her while she was still on maternity leave. Cathy was exceptional in so many ways —smart, principled, and caring, with a huge range of interests and talents. Her influence shaped the emergence of new therapies and she helped so many colleagues to be successful. All of us knew that her greatest happiness came from her love and pride In her family. She glowed talking about her daughters’ accomplishments. I grieve for her loss and send all my sympathy to Rick, Alyssa, and Jessica.

Be well Joey! You were an amazing son, brother, uncle and friend. Please look out for your family. You will be missed more than you know!

Callie and Stephen, My heart aches for you as I read Victor’s obituary. We were good friends during high school and that friendship continued as we gathered as the Class of 64 throughout the years. I remember my last visit with you was seeing you in Walmart in Wilmington as I was in NC visiting family. I hope all of you listened to my message when Victor was moved to Hospice. I have been thinking of you and pray God will help you deal with this sad time. Love and Hugs, Carolyn

Love to you Ms. Callie and to Steven. Victor was a fine man who God gave me the privilege of knowing again after many years.

I am truly sorry for Shelby Edenton and your entire family for the loss of your beloved father. Although Michael I never met you before just know your daughter is an amazing individual! I’m so honored to be your friend. You are all in my prayers!!:(

I have many fond memories of Miriam. She was my former supervisor, but more importantly a wonderful and witty person. She taught me a lot with patience and selflessness. I remember many discussions with her, many not about work. She loved music and had a way of making others feel valued. Like many others, I will miss Miriam very much. However, I am comforted knowing that her spirit lives on in so many people whose lives she positively impacted. God bless you Miriam.

Rick, Kendal, Lucas, and the rest of the family. Our prayers are with you all. May God bring comfort to you and wrap His arms around each of you giving you the peace only He can bring. Love you guys!

Terry was such a sparkler - energetic, funny, kind, motivating, and vivacious. I started as one of her Jazzercise students in 1996 in Kalamazoo. When she told us years later that she was moving to NC, I went home and cried! I know she went on to inspire more and more students and share her enthusiasm for health and fitness., and life in general. I treasure the moment when she surprised us by walking into class a couple of years ago. Many of us screamed with joy, jumped up and down, and ran to hug her. She looked like she hadn't aged at all in the interim. How lucky we all were to know Terry! Ed, Kasey, Kelly, and the rest of Terry's family, please know the heartfelt sympathy of all her friends are with you.

You are all in our thoughts and prayers! Sorry for your loss. Love, Kathy, Chris, Kailyn and Christopher Cogan

Victor, What a wonderful person lots of beautiful memories. He loved playing the bagpipes which I always enjoyed, Mr. Lance’s Guy seeing him several convenient stores with Lance’s in those’s days and loved Ruth’s Kitchen Restaurant before working Porters Neck Walmart. Thanks Victor many Conversations over the years, my prayers with his family & friends !!!! In Loving Remembrance

Mary and I, celebrate the life of Vic. We are thankful for your friendship over the years.Callie, may the blessings of the Father, give your family comfort and peace. God bless.

Joe was as cool as they come. My earliest memory of Joe is from 1986, our bedrooms were in the basement of our house on N Elm St in West Bridgewater Mass, Joe was on crutches, I think due to a knee injury. I had just seen Nightmare on Elm Street, it was late at night and I heard metal scraping against a shelving unit outside my bedroom door. I was sure Freddy Kruger was coming to get me. Luckily for me it was just Joe’s crutches making that noise, I’ve never been more relieved to see anybody. Joe always treated me well, I have only fond memories of him. Rest In Peace. My most heartfelt condolences to those he left behind. I hope you find solace in this terribly sad time.

Jack & I are so sorry to hear this sad news! Sending hugs & prayers to Callie & Stephen. Victor will be missed because he was a friend to everybody! Hope his family will hold their memories close to their heart...memories are Forever! Love, Jack & Janet

I am saddened to learn of Miriam's passing. She was a titan of a leader and fellow history lover! I will remember our days at the Chicago Office of Chief Counsel fondly. I will never forget the year Miriam brought in her keyboard and played/sang Christmas carols for the office holiday party. I know she will be missed!

Rosie and Adrienne, We are sending all our love and prayers to you at this time.

BIG MIKE, WHAT CAN I SAY? THERE ARE NO WORDS TO BRING YOU BACK, NO TIME CAPSULE TO REVERSE WHAT HAPPENED, AND NO PILL TO TAKE THE PAIN AWAY FOR BECKY, THE KIDS, GRANDS, AND ALL OF US THAT LOVED YOU.

I met Miriam early in my working life. She demonstrated all the qualities of a good lawyer and a good senior co-worker. Friendly, inclusive, generous, and wise. She made a significant impact on my life, and I miss her already.

So sorry to hear of Miriam's passing. She was one of the first people I met when I started with Counsel. I enjoyed working with her, and learned a lot about being an attorney from her. I also enjoyed talking with her outside of work. We had similar interests in books, movies, and tv shows, and I enjoyed having in depth discussions with her about what we were watching/reading at lunch and after work. Rest in peace.

So sorry for your loss. Sympathies to all.

Working hospital duty, we got in trouble talking on the phone with my daughter, exchanging recipes! I will miss Snipes and his great sense of humor, we were both totally crazy and you could not fall asleep working with us. I mourn with the family. May God continue to give you the strength you need now and the days to follow. RIP my friend. ❤️❤️❤️

I’m so sorry to hear of Miriam’s passing. As I’m sure her many friends at work remember, Miriam’s energy, warmth, lovely singing voice, and love of life was always evident. She has been missed since her retirement, and will be missed more now. With deepest sympathies to her lovely family.

Mike, I will miss our friendship that spanned the course of thirty years. We shared a love for fishing and boxing. You could also make me laugh like no other. May God bless your family my friend.

I met Bruce in 1990 , a wonderful, funny man with strong morals and integrity. I am forever blessed to have known him. Deepest sympathies to his parents and daughters........ Definitely one on the good guys!

Condolences to all of your family Steve. God bless!!!

Heaven's gain

Love and prayers for Steven and Callie. You are a family of strong Faith and I know you will get through this together.

Dear Alyssa and family, Please accept my deepest sympathies. My and my family's thoughts and prayers are with you. Your mother's legacy and life of helping the world is inspiring to us all. I'm blessed to know her wonderful daughter Alyssa.

Sending my thoughts and prayers, during this hard time.

Victor was a regular Sunday School classmate as we grew up together learning life's essential moral lessons. And when we moved to High School was there as everybody's friend and continued that friendship whenever our Class of 1964 gathered to celebrate or reminisce. A man of few words but a man of sincere words. The memories he leaves are all kind and warm, I will miss my soft-spoken friend as he rests back home and in peace. My thoughts are with you Callie, Steven and Richard.

Lynda So sorry to hear of your Mom's passing. Condolences to you and your family.

Mrs Hardie was a wonderful nurse. In my teen yrs I was in hospital with asthma. She was the kindest nurse I have ever had. I have never forgotten her after all these years. My mother Marie Cheshire also worked with her at NHRMC for yrs and is saddened by her death. She was a special lady that everyone loved. God Bless her family. She will be missed.

Sending my thoughts and prayers to all. May peace reside in us, Everyone. ♥️

I cannot wrap my mind around it. Your suppose to still be here. Uncle Mike, I love you! When I pause and come to terms of reality I break into tears. My heart goes out to my cousins, aunt, mother and all his friends who got to know him.. His smile, legendary jokes, and bright eyes will remain in our hearts forever. Uncle Mike, we’re gonna miss you something awful as the word family just feels incomplete now. Forever and always irreplaceable, loved and treasured deep within! I miss you.

I will always remember Vic as the same quite ,kind person that never changed from grammar school thru high school . He never had a harsh word for anyone, and I never heard anyone say an unkind word about Victor. He loved his "Class of 64" classmates, and when we had a reunion or just a get-together, he & Callie were always there. God Speed and Rest in Peace, dear friend !

Pete and I were so sorry to hear about Victor’s passing. He was such a pleasant and thoughtful classmate and he will be deeply missed. Please know that our thoughts and prayers go out to you and your precious family and may God give you peace and comfort when you need it most.

Victor was a very kind hearted good man .A true gentlemen. Prayers for the family during this difficult time...

I had the honor of helping Cathy and Rick purchase their home in Wilmington when they decided to retire here. They were such a fun couple and we quickly became friends. I truly value that friendship and I will miss Cathy greatly! I appreciated so many things about her. Her love of cooking, music and travel, her kindness, sense of humor and compassion. What I will value most of all, is the advice that she gave me when it came to motherhood. She shared stories with me about raising Alyssa and Jessica and I have applied her experience in raising my own 2 daughters. Jessica and Alyssa...you mom LOVED YOU SO MUCH!!! Proud does not even come close to describing how she felt about your accomplishments and the people you have become. You were the lights of her life and her greatest accomplishment. Rick- you know you were the love of her life. I don't even want to imagine how your heart is feeling right now. My hope is that all of the fun memories will be your comfort and that you will celebrate her life by living yours the way should would have wanted. Sharon-I am so sorry for the loss that you will feel with Cathy gone. I am very grateful to her for introducing us. Please know that I am sending love your way as you and the rest of the family go through this loss. Cathy-rest in peace my friend. You were a classy lady and a wonderful person. It was an honor to have known you. With love, Kristina McLeod

Prayers for the family

Dear Callie and Steven, We are so sorry and saddened of your loss of Victor. We have been praying since speaking to Steven and will continue our prayers for you. In meeting Victor and speaking to him when we would see you all, it was obvious that he was a true family man. We always enjoyed his kind and gentle nature. Our Deepest Sympathy, Allen and Kay

Callie and Steven. I am so sorry to learn of Victor’s passing. My staff and I have always enjoyed our visits with all three of you. You are in our prayers.

Catherine was a wonderful person and I am stunned and saddened by her passing. I was one of the many NIH-funded investigators with whom Catherine worked over the years and was incredibly lucky to have as project officer for several of my NIH grants. I deeply appreciated her commitment to science, her strong support, and her wise counsel. My sincere condolences to Catherine’s family and friends.

Victor was a good man and I am proud that we were cousins. He will be greatly missed in the Johnson family. I know there will be many prayers for you, Callie and Stephen, as you adjust to your lives without him.

Fond childhood memories of playing army with Victor using our uncle's old tractors as army tanks and running around through the corn field beside our grandparents' home.

Cold beer, lines in the water, just a great conversation, I’m gonna miss you buddy.

Sorry to here about Victor passing away remember seeing him at Walmart.

OUT BEST WISH'S ARE WITH ALL FAMILY AND FRIENDS IN THIS TIME OF GRIEF. VICTOR AND HIS FAMILY WERE OUR BEST FRIENDS. WE WERE FRIENDS AT WRH...

Vann knew Victor better than I did. He respected Victor and they would discuss books they liked. Vann sent him a book once but don’t recall what it was. This is a tough time for your family. My heart aches for you.

Callie and Steven, I'm so sorry for your loss. Linda

I first met Jerry in 1970 when he joined the staff of Grand Valley Co Op Credit Union. His wit and cheerfulness kept the staff smiling even through the difficult times. My all time favorite coworker!

Our condolences to Avery family. Gene was loved and will be missed by our family. May he rest in peace.

Our condolences to Avery family. Gene was loved and will be missed by our family. May he rest in peace.

So sad to hear this news. Wishing you peace and comfort during this difficult time.

To Mrs Snipes, children,family , friends ,and co-workers. Michael will be missed, I am so saddened, we spend many nights working together, working with him was never a dull moment. He was soft spoken with a great sense of humor. Missing Him . C/O Harvey

I never had the chance to meet you but thank you for creating an amazing daughter who I am so proud to call my friend. Rest in the sweetest peace❤️

I extend my deepest sympathies to Kay, Matt, Ben and the entire Laird family for their unexpected loss. Paul was one of my oldest, closest, and dearest friends, dating back to our days together as undergraduates at UNC Wilmington in the 1970s. Were it not for Paul Laird, I may not have become a professional historian. He was responsible for getting me the job as curator of the former Blockade Runner Museum at Carolina Beach, N.C. in 1979 and, as it turned out, the last curator of the museum. When New Hanover County purchased the Blockade Runner Museum's collection and moved it to the Cape Fear Museum in Wilmington in 1983, I decided to attend graduate school and pursue a career as an academic historian. As fate would have it, I ended up teaching in the Dept. of History at UNC Wilmington, our undergraduate alma mater, for many years. I publicly credited Paul with jump starting my career path. Modest as he was, Paul always downplayed his role, but it's my story and I'm sticking to it. Even after retiring as director of the Friends of Fort Fisher, Paul remained active as a board member for the Moores Creek Battlefield Association and the Federal Point Historic Preservation Society, and an advisor to the Brunswick Civil War Round Table. He and I worked together on many local history projects, most recently the Joseph Ryder Lewis Civil War Park at Carolina Beach. Cross over the river and rest underneath the shade of the trees, my good friend, and wait for us there. We'll join you by and by. In the meantime, you will always be in my thoughts and prayers.

I'm praying for all of during this time of heartache.

I need you! We need you! Rest easy dad. I have no ther words. I LOVE YOU!!!!

I miss you so much! This doesn't feel real. I will always love you dad and I will always share all the wonderful memories that you gave us all!

Rest in Peace, Alyssa gone but never forgotten

Rick, Alyssa, and Jessica- Such a shock! My sincerest condolences. Cathy was taken away much too soon. I worked closely with her on Cystic Fibrosis and considered her a friend and colleague. We shared a love of applying our knowledge of science to help make lives better for those suffering from devastating genetic diseases such as CF. We also sat together in a retirement class as she expressed her excitement to be going to Wilmington for her “golden years” and I’m happy she had some time there but would have hoped for more. Hopefully, wonderful memories will help lessen the pain now and help sustain us. Susan

Our deepest condolences from John and I. Cathy was a wonderful mentor, colleague, and friend of ours for many years at NCI and NIDDK. It was my privilege to know and work with her at NIDDK. She was a shining example of dedication and unmatched judgement as a program director--always thoughtful, meticulous, and fair in her deliberations. She will be deeply missed.

Gene and Gail Ridley

Our condolences to the Avery family. Gene was loved and will be missed by our family. May he rest in peace.

Herbie and I go back to elementary or junior high school. I still have a picture of him, with his girl friend and me with my boy friend going to a school party. He was one of the really nice guys, always friendly and smiling. I remember him with great fondness and know that his memory will be a blessing to his family.

What a wonderful colleague and friend. She will be sorely missed.

Cathy and I spent many happy lunch hours together back in the early 80s. My wife Sheryl and I kept up with her as she became Sheryl’s colleague. What a wonderful laugh Cathy had. She will be sorely missed by us all.

Always loved those Fred Astaire dance legs of yours. Smoothest shagger I ever knew. I’ll remember all the fun times, how you made your brother smile and most of all how much the entire Tyner tribe adored you. ❤️ I

For Rick, Alyssa and Jessica.....You – you alone will have the stars as no one else has them…In one of the stars I shall be living. In one of them I shall be laughing. And so it will be as if all the stars were laughing, when you look at the sky at night…You – only you – will have stars that can laugh; (Piccolo Principe). I am sad beyond words. Cathy pointed me in the direction for all of what I have, ànd for what I do today.

For Rick, Alyssa and Jessica.......You – you alone will have the stars as no one else has them…In one of the stars I shall be living. In one of them I shall be laughing. And so it will be as if all the stars were laughing, when you look at the sky at night…You – only you – will have stars that can laugh (Piccolo Principe). I am sad beyond words. Cathy pointed me in the direction for what I have and for what I do today.

I worked with Carolyn at the hospital many years ago. She was a sweet, caring nurse and coworker. She also made the best biscuits! A staff favorite.

We love Cathy like a sister, not a sister-in-law. She has done so much for people totally unselfishly and will be missed forever......

I will always treasure my memories of Cathy & our times together as a family. She is truly missed.

I am so happy that I had the opportunity to get to know Catherine. We made pottery together at Orange Street Pottery. She alway had a quick smile, we shared great experiences and quite a few laughs. She also made some very nice pots. Catherine will be missed by many.

My wonderful colleague at NIH, a mentor who became a good friend. I am devastated and wish only good things to come for her family.

Condolences to the family. Billy was always very nice. I met him as a teenager when I stayed with his mom and dad while going to Wilmington College. Loved this family.

I am deeply sadness for your loss. My prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time.

Rick, we are so sorry for your loss. Please accept our deepest condolences. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all for comfort and strength during this difficult time. Beena and Pradip Akolkar

I would like to express my condolences to Cathy's family. I worked with Cathy at the NIH for many years. She was a very talented and accomplished scientist and a treasured colleague and friend. Jessica and Alyssa, while you don't me, I know all about you because Cathy was so incredibly proud of both of you. She loved you both so very much. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

I have the image of Catherine in my mind, she is sitting on her desk with a pencil going over a document making sure that the ts were crossed and the is were dotted. She was scrupulous and attentive. She always made herself available to answer any question related to my administrative or scientific shortcomings. She was engaging and ready to contribute and I learned a LOT from and with her. I felt I lost a great guide when she retired form NIH; at the same time, I was happy for her knowing that she had a long list of things she wanted to do in her life that she approached with gusto. She will be missed

Please accept my deepest condolences for your family's loss.

I am grateful for having known Cathy--a life well lived, full of accomplishments and passion. She leaves behind a better world.

Today marks your first birthday since your passing. You’ve been on my mind a lot lately. I know you’re watching over us but I’d give anything to have never lost you. We are taking good care of Sue and enjoying being able to share family time with her now that she lives up here. I miss you so much! Happy Birthday Dad. I love you.

May you be remembered for your laugh and sweetness toward your grandchildren and Great grandchildren! Know how much Kelly loved spending time with you. No one can replace that! It's all sweet times for you now!

Rick, all of us her in NIDDK are crushed by this news of Cathy's untimely death. She was such a special person and was adored by the extramural scientific community whom she served with such skill, tact, and insight. I always treasured her counsel and her integrity. NIH was a much better place because of her.

So sorry for Rick, Although we haven't seen Rick and Cathy for many years I always considered them my true friends having known them for over 40 years. Please accept my deepest heartfelt condolences !

Condolences! In heaven where you are like now rest in peace! May God be with you in your eternal life!!!

Grateful for having had the privilege to collaborate with Cathy I pray for her and her family

My sincere condolences to Maureen and the entire Family

I spent many a night hanging out at the Avery’s home. Mr. and Mrs. Avery could not have been any kinder to me. They were like a second family to me. My thoughts and prayers to Mrs. Avery, Jay and Brooks.

Aunt Carolyn was an amazing woman, always quick to smile and laugh. She never let obstacles or hardships get in her way and was brave to the very end. She loved her family and we all loved her right back. She will be missed and always remembered.

"Hi girlfriend." "Hey darling." This is how Mary Ann would always greet me. She'd answer the phone, even if she was busy or tired, but if you told her a funny or dramatic story, she was all in, and all ears. Everything else could wait. She used funny southern expressions that tickled me. She'd often be fixin' to do something; she'd describe people who got away with things as walking in the cool of the evening; and people without two cents to their name as so poor they didn't have a pot to p_ _s in. All of us in her upstate New York posse could never get enough of her. She was the glue that held us together. She put the sparkle in Christmas and the Boo! in Halloween. One year, I showed up on her doorstep unannounced just before Thanksgiving, after a 14-hour drive. Mary Ann didn't bat an eye. She simply answered the door while on her phone, ushered me in and within an hour we were dining at a beachfront restaurant. She was proud to be unconventional, proud of her "daddy" and dearly missed both of her parents. She was an alumni relations director when we met about 30 years ago and she has always been a hard worker, a volunteer, and a lover and supporter of the arts. Mary Ann was raised as an only child, but grew up to be a beloved sister to many. If you suffered a slight or had a rough day, she was the most loyal friend, right in there fighting for you. If you had a funny tale to tell, she'd eat it up with a spoon and ask for more. I'll miss her kind friendship forever. She was warm, compassionate and fun, socially gifted and humble, with an extraordinary soft spot for animals. She lived a colorful life, making friends wherever she went and creating magical porch gardens and pieces of art for her friends. Best of all, she made us laugh...no matter what. I love how excited she got when planning to travel and how energized she'd get when telling a story, gesturing wildly at times, "holding court," as they say. The pandemic took from us the opportunity to be with her during her greatest need, yet Bill was faithfully beside her, and somehow found the time to keep us up to date, too. They both gracefully and lovingly protected us from pain. I will surely miss you, dearest Mary Ann.

Cathy always made me feel like a welcome member of her tribe. I’ll miss my cousin. I thought we’d have more time.

Rick, so sorry for your loss. We will be praying for comfort and strength during this difficult time. Please know we are here if there is anything you need.

CAROL "BARNEY" was an awesome lady she was so kind to everyone..I worked with her at NHMH a while back she was always so sweet..A very good Nurse..So sorry she has gone but I'm sure she is happy with JESUS...

I am just a phone call away if you need anything. I have good memories of Jerry. He is not in pain or misery anymore.

I am just a phone call away if you need anything. I have good memories of Jerry. He is no longer suffering.

What a sad news we have just received. Cathy was called home far too soon. She was a symbol of professionalism, commitment to science and colleagues. She will be missed. May you Rest In Peace, good and peaceful soul.

We are so happy we got to know Cathy at Rx over the past few years and always loved hearing the about latest travels and adventures. Cathy will be so missed by all of us at Rx - we were all heartbroken to hear the news. Or deepest condolences to Rick and family.

I will never forget Cathy's laugh! It was a great laugh and I still hear it and see her smile! We had some very good and fun times together especially at the NIH. My dear Rick, Alyssa, and Jessica, my heart goes out to you! I am still in shock and disbelief! Cathy was a wonderful friend to me and I don't think I would have made it the first few years at NIH without her! I still remember the day that Jessica was born and Alyssa stayed with me while Rick and Cathy went off to the hospital. Was so very happy for the family! I have watched the years go by and was so excited to know that Rick and Cathy found their wonderful new home in No. Carolina! I am so sad for all of you. I really can't find the words of comfort right now but know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers!

Junior, Susan and I are heart broken over Brenda's passing. We are so thankful to have been able to come visit with you all. Our heartfelt love and Prayers are with you at this difficult time. We can take comfort knowing she is in the arms of our Heavenly Father now. God Bless! Joe and Susan.

Carolyn was a customer of ours for many years at Prolube- She was always cheerful and a delight to be around- She will be dearly missed

Sue I am only a phone call away if you should need me for anything. Time passes us by so fast. I have good memories of Jerry. He is out of pain and suffering. You did your best for him.

"A life well lived" is indeed what we've thought of Wayne since meeting him when he moved to Wilmington. Riding his bike, wearing tie dye shirts and hanging out at his daughters homes enjoying the gifts of time, he was a wonderful father to his family. We know he will be missed the most by the family he adored so much....

My Mom was the strongest, bravest and kindest person known to me. With everything she did she gave her all. She raised her five children singlehandedly while pursuing a career in nursing and excelled when others would have just quit. I love you Mom and I will definitely miss your beautiful smile and laughter.

Paula and I had worked together many years ago. Despite us parting ways very quickly, she left a major impact on the place. She was always friendly, never had anything bad to say about anyone and ALWAYS had a warm smile. She'll be missed by all! Condolences to your family in this trying time.

Ed, my stepfather of 40 years and the rest of my life, was one in a million. He and my mother got married when I was 5 years old, and he treated me like I was his own daughter ever since. I have so many great memories. The vacations we spent with our Cincinnati family (Ed Sr., Lydia, Paul, Linda, Holly, Shelley, Leon, Diane and boys) were my favorite. From Watts Bar Resort on the Tennessee River to summers at Kiawah Island and our trips to Florida come to mind. Plus our wonderful trips to Cincinnati at Thanksgiving are not to be forgotten. Ed was also the assistant coach of my softball team, along with my Dad as head coach, in my softball days. Ed was always there to move me in and out of dorms, apartments, and my first house. He taught me how to paint the inside of a house (he helpedJ), how to check the oil in my car, check the air in my tires, and gave great advice. His sense of humor was priceless. He could make the funniest faces and was always joking around with me and my friends. I will miss him more than I can say. I am truly blessed to have had him in my life. I love you, Ed.

No one has ever had more love and caring coming from one heart. A born nurse. I feel for all that have lost her. Carolyn was mighty in caring for my family. Love to all. Harold

One of my fondest memories is at a plant managers meeting in your home when Ed cooked steaks for everybody. It was then he introduced me to Dales steak sauce! Ed earned our greatest respect and admiration, not just a s a great plant manager but as a person. one who cared and loved deeply. May his memory be eternal

Great leader and person. My first boss in the packaging business and as we worked together over the years I saw him mentor others as he did me. Funny and no nonsense.

I came to know Paul through his excellent work with the Moore's Creek Battlefield Association. As a remote member of the Association, Paul always made me feel welcome and valued. His communication skills were outstanding, and everything I observed that he did was done with excellence and careful thought. We had recently exchanged several emails as we always did whenever he published the Association newsletter, which was superb. I know he will be missed by many, and send my sincere condolences to his family.

Sorry to hear this, I only knew Ed through NHCLEOA, he was one of the first members I met. We always sat together on Thursday night dinners. I really enjoyed his stories flying reconnaissance during the war. When he didn't show up at meetings he was in my Prayers always. Not the same year but we shared the same Birthday April 15. God Bless you all. Dan

Carroll, I am so sorry to learn of your loss. I'll be praying for your comfort and strength to get through this difficult time. Love,

Carolyn was a great woman and loved her family, I know YA'LL will miss her .

Ms. Carolyn was a wonderful neighbor. She always had such a beautiful smile and positive optimistic words to say, even in the trying times. She loved her family and enjoyed telling stories to me of their times while overseas, when the children were so young. To the family, you have a wonderful sweet mother, which I am sure you know that and will continue to feel her love for each of you every day. May God continue to bless you. Love to all, Sabra

We mourn with you, my dear cousins.

I worked many years with Jim and Carol at Saltworks. They treated employees and customers like family. I have such fond memories of working there. Jim taught us all the meaning of hard work; cleaning up all the crumbs, patting out patties, sorting Lima beans and so much more. Thank you for all the lessons and wonderful memories. Rest In Peace Jim. Sending my love to Carol, Pete and family.

Sorry for the family’s loss. Carolyn always had a smile and kind words anytime I saw her.

Ma B I'll never forget first time I met you 1982 you have been a part of my life ever cence and I a part of yours you are already missed so much by everyone who knew you love you forever fly high honey til we meet again

Ma

Heaven has gained another angel. You was a sweet man and glad to have had you as a cousin.

Billy Ray Tyner, My Uncle Billy, I will surely going to miss you, I have a lot of good memories of you and you will always be in my heart. I remember learning to walk in your shoes when I was little and you dancing me on your shoes. How you loved bean and bacon soup, you would give me a taste I thought that was so good and you would laugh. There will never be another Uncle Billy in my life but you! I will always think of you and love my memories of you. You are at peace and with our Lord until we see each other keep on dancing love your niece! Sug

RIP DJ of “The Knox Box” on WCPS and friend a year ahead of me in Tarboro. You always had a quip for a giggle when ever I saw you during high school and I was a regular listener to Jack Kane on WKIX! Thanks for all you did!

I fondly remember Herbie from Central High School in Charlotte. Herbie drove the coolest car in town, a black 1951 Ford Victoria with a bright yellow top...that is until he somehow managed to get it upside down in a creek on Chestnut Street. Herbie managed to crawl out unhurt except for his pride and summon help. When help finally arrived, the car was reported to be still running despite being bottom side up. He was known as a genuine good guy with a smile for everyone. Glad to hear that never changed. Sadly our lives never crossed paths again after high school. May he rest in peace.

I was fortunate enough to have worked with Carolyn at NHRMC. She always took such care of her patients . I will always remember her kindness and patience. Condolences to her family.

A wonderful life, lost too soon. Cathy gave so much to her family and career and had so many successes in her life. My deepest sympathy to Rick, Alyssa and Jessica who I know will feel the greatest loss. Love to Maureen, Sharon and Mike, may you find peace remembering the good times you all shared.

Billy it breaks my heart ♥️ To know that you are gone . I remember as a little girl being at your Parents house and you and June and Kim and Mark coming over from Clinton . I am honored to be your Cousin. You were a amazing at Shagging. RIP Billy. Tell Everyone I said hello ♥️ Until we see each other again .

Carolyn was one of the sweetest people I have ever known. She always had a sweet smile and kind things to say to me. God bless the family!

Rest In Peace sweet cousin, I’m so glad I got to see you in February. Sending prayers and condolences to the family.

So many great memories working for Jim and Carol at Saltworks. Thank you! Thinking of you in this difficult time, hope you feel surrounded by fond memories and love.

Had the pleasure of speaking with Mr. Ted many times at Dillard’s. As a granddaughter of 2 WWII veterans and members of the greatest generation, I had a soft spot for Mr. Ted. What a fascinating life he lived! And he was a Democrat?? Even better! Rest in paradise, Mr. Ted!

Grew up with Herbie in Charlotte. I remember his performances with the Charlotte Boys Choir. Talented and sweet guy.

Delbert, I am so sorry to hear of the passing of your wife. She was such a sweet woman. May God provide comfort for you at this time.

Sue I am so sorry. Let me know if there is anything I can do. If you need a shoulder I have two anytime day or night.

Sara I am so sorry to learn of Walter’s death. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

I met Paul at the Moore’s Creek Battlefield Annual meeting and he was just so welcoming. He was so passionate about growing the organization and enlisted me to help with this endeavor. I enjoyed our mutual interest and his vision. I will always have fond memories of Paul. My deepest condolences to your family. I will definitely miss him.

My condolences to the family, I served on the Moore's Creek Battleground Association with Paul and he will be greatly missed.

I always enjoyed talking to Jim and Carol when we went to Salt Works. Praying for the family and friends.

I volunteered with Jim at Mother Hubbards. I will always remember Jim’s wit and generosity. Our thoughts and prayers to Jim’s family.

Gerry and his wife, Susan, we’re dear friends of ours in SeaScape. The first time, we ate at their table, we were amazed at the most Italian “gravy” sauce he, a nice Irish gent made. Sitting around the table was always enjoyable with plenty of laughter. Gerry had a kindred spirit and a gentle way about him. I’ll never never when he volunteered to be the Head Chef at our community, SeaScape for an Italian Night Special event. Once again, his “gravy” was delicious beyond words. He received many kudos from the “gravy” to the Lemon Chicken Cutlets to the Meatballs. Needless to say, the event was the best and a very memorable one at that! We will surely miss our dear, sweet friend, Gerry! Our condolences to his sons, Gerard, Stephen, Chris and Drew and their families. May he Rest In Peace!

What an incredible man he was!! Will be keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers.

Kate was like a sister to me for many years. Great memories of laughter, wine & talks in her she-shed room & at the pool. Her memorial is so true... She had a heart of gold. RIP my Ol' Buddy. See you someday.

Kate was like a sister to me for many years. So many memories of talks, wine & laughter in her sunporch room & the pool. She was always there if needed & like her memorial says... With a heart of gold. See you someday my Buddy.❤️

As another APO "brother",I too remember his willingness to delve into whatever project was at hand. As well, I and those who knew him and shared days at UNCW will always remember him for his attention to details, and most definitely, his enthusiasm. Paul was always a gentleman. I also enjoyed learning from him, as his knowledge of history was both contagious and so educational. He will be sorely missed by all who were fortunate to know him. My deepest condolences to his family.

Paul was the person who brought me onto the board of the friends of fort fisher. I have so many memories of working with him over the years. He will he missed.

So sorry to learn of Paul's passing. I had come to know him through the Fort Fisher State Historic site and admired his dedication to history. I send to his family prayers and my condolences.

I was Pauls hair dresser since 1996. Paul is the nicest man and I enjoyed conversations with him on each of his visits. My thoughts and prayers are with his family in this time of sorrow. Many friends including me will miss Paul very much.

So sorry to hear of the loss of your Dad. Gerry was a neighbor in Seascape and a very good friend. We played b-ball together and loved discussing politics. My wife Liz and I had many nice dinners with your Mom and Dad. Gerry was a very caring man and I know he was a wonderful Dad. When we became friends none of you boys were married and he kidded about never having grandkids! Boy did that change!! He always loved talking about his family. He will be greatly missed.

So sorry for your loss. Praying for you all now and the days to come.

I first met Terri in Junior High School (now known as Middle School - which tells you how long ago) She was, needless to say, a beautiful woman both inside and out. Very smart and very much no nonsense - I was very impressed, as were many! To Terri's Family Ed; Kelly and Kasey - I am so sorry for your incredible loss! I have not seen Terri in many years and do not know of the circumstances of her untimely passing. I do however, know that Heaven has received one of the 'good ones.' She has many friends & family saying wonderful things about her, which would be expected! Please know that your wife/mother was very special and you will be with her again in the blink of an eye in Eternity Time. To Alan; Marty and Tracy, please accept my heartfelt sympathy for the loss your sister. I am so very sorry!!

Sympathy to the family. He will be missed. Chaplain, George Davis Camp # 3, Sons of Confederate Veterans

Kathy you will be deeply missed and I have some great memories growing up with you. Your loving soul always brighten a room. Love you my soul sister ❤️

We had allot of fun times together and you will be deeply missed

In reading through the emails and in comments here, the word "friend" is used by all. Yes, Gerry was a true friend, not just a good guy but one you could trust and/or count on no matter what. So two big guys, one with a "G" and the other with a "J". one from metro New Jersey and the other from a small farming community in California but we both worked in Brooklyn! God love ya Gerry Bradley. Rest in Peace.

Remembering Gerry Bradley

Jim was as good a friend to My parents as anyone could ask for. He helped me get through the tough times. I will miss him and the knowing that he is there forever. Thank you Jim. Thank you Carol and God Bless you both. Now and forever.

I only new Paul a short time,but in that time I found him to be a truly great person with a heart as big a as the world. Paul and I became close quickly and often talked about life and personal issues. Paul will be truly missed RIP my friend .To all family/friends my condolences, prayers,strength in knowing he is in God's hands now and knowing he is still watching over all of you.

We want to send our heartfelt condolences to Paul's family, and to his friends. We will remember Paul as a good friend, and a true gentleman. Sadly, the Civil War history community has suffered the loss of a true friend and unwavering supporter. We will always think of Paul as "Mr. Fort Fisher" for all of the good work he did there. Paul--Rest in Peace & thanks.

I too was one of Paul's fraternity brothers in APO. We had a great time in old Galloway Hall. My prayers are with the family.

Kathy Enjoyed our young years growing up and all the fun times we shared. Rest In Peace.

My favorite “Skunk” Ed will be greatly missed by so many. He signed every card to me that way and stared every phone call that way, too. “ Hey Shell! It’s your favorite Skunk Ed!” Pretty much every summer vacation from my childhood includes Uncle Ed, Sandra and Deidra. I’m so lucky to be able to look back on so many wonderful memories and adventures we had together. They were the best! He has sailed on, but he leaves this of us here to share funny stories and remember him with a smile.

Paul was a great guy. I was in APO with him and we all had close relations. He was a great historian along with his roommate Bob Browning. He will be missed. My condolences to the family.

To Paul's family and friends, on behalf of the staff of Moores Creek National Battlefield and the National Park Service, please accept my deepest condolences for your family's loss. Paul was an amazing man and a dedicated individual. Even in his "retirement", Paul worked diligently to support the Moores Creek Battleground Association and Moores Creek National Battlefield on numerous endeavors. I worked closely with Paul and truly enjoyed his friendship. He certainly supported me through my first 2 years as Superintendent and I will be eternally grateful for all he did with me and for me. I pray for peace and comfort for you all during this unexpected time of loss.

I am deeply saddened by Paul's passing. There are so many stories, some serious, some hilarious. We were good friends. He was in the inner circle of my college friends. We ate, drank and worked together. He was an APO (Alpha Phi Omega) brother; most of us were. We were all service-oriented. Paul always rolled up his sleeves and worked along side us. We were all leaders and he advanced to become the student government president after we impeached his predecessor. I am deeply saddened. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends.

I have a lot great memories of Paul. We were in the same suite at UNCW and were in APO together. I enjoyed visiting him a few times in recent years and hearing about his accomplishments. I am so glad our paths crossed and I was able to know such a special person. My condolences and prayers to his family and friends.

My heart breaks for Paul's family and friends. Having known him for a short time, I came to love and respect him. This is a great loss to all. I pray God will comfort you with precious memories.

Paul’s family and friends, I am so deeply saddened by Paul’s passing. I was an APO “brother” with Paul and some of my favorite memories of college center on those times. I am so sorry.

Rest in peace Kathy. I will cherish our friendship and memories. Love u sis.

Dear Gerard we were so sorry to hear of your fathers passing,our prayers are with you and your family. May he rest in peace

My Uncle Wayland was one of a kind. He was the best family man and not only loved his own family he was close to his extended family too. He will be greatly missed by his family and his friends. He was the best when it came to understanding a teenager that had had problems or questions or anything, he would always find the time to talk to you and you always felt so much better after you talked to my Uncle Wayland, because he always had the answers you were looking for. R.I.P. Uncle Wayland, heaven sure got lucky when they got you to come home. I love you and you will be missed.

Uncle Wayland was one of a kind. He was very much a family man and devoted to his wife and children and extended family. May he be Blessed in heaven as he was on earth and never be in any pain. I have very fond memories of my uncle Wayland from when I was much younger. He was a great man and will be missed very much.

Kate, this world will not be the same without you. Your smile and stories would light up the world . We love and we will miss you terribly . Bonita Waddell, Cora Waddell and Rosie Howard

Connie and Katie, Though we have never met, my sincere condolences go to you. Walter was so proud of both of you. We were in grades 1-12 together, so I have a lot of memories. It was a highlight to re-connect on Facebook . That's where I saw the love for the two of you. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.

I greatly admired Mike's Academic Freedom fight mainly through NAS.org releases. May you family, friends, and acquaintances be comforted by the love and plan of Jesus (I Thes. 4:13-18). I was so blessed to read Mike's tributes; thanks. In 1971 I was fraudulently denied tenure because the University would not grant me the right to profess Christ within the letter and spirit of our Constitution. It took my Michigan Supreme Ct per curia decision till 1984 for the University to recognize my rights --though the modest Settlement would not permit regaining my professorship. Pray for all Christian teachers in our increasingly Jehovah God rejecting society. To ALL, 3John2

I always be your B-Wine

I'll always be your B-Wine

I could not believe u were gone when I found out. It hit me like a ton of bricks. My only brother, gone. I love you James Aaron. You will always be apart of me and forever in my memories. I'll always be your B-Wine. Tell uncle Toby I said I miss and love him too. Fly high sweet angel. Your finally home and back with the other angels that were taken way too soon. Watch over the boys and your sister. I love you always and forever

So sorry for your loss. May God lead you through your grief. Blessings for you and your family.

Sorry I am so late in this but could not find an address. Our prayers will be with you and family.

I pray the comforter will give you his peace during your time of mourning. love you

RIP to my wonderful father n law, Mr. Joe Walker. He will forever be in my heart. Like a saying goes Never say goodbye, just see you later. He will always be a great father to his children and a wonderful husband to his incredible wife. I have good memories of him. I will always love him.

Your heart was BIG Shawn! We will forever miss you.

May God wrap His loving arms around each of you and comfort in your times of need! Prayers, love and hugs to you all!

Walter, always larger than life, is now appearing in a new venue, no doubt offering advice and commentary. I already miss knowing that he is still here.

Joe will be greatly missed by William and I as we loved to talk with him and Nancy each time we would come down to stay at our place beside of Joe and Nancy.

Joe was a funny guy. A hoot to be around. Always cracking a joke with a straight face. Will miss the laughter and watching football!

Mary Ann was a comfort, delight, inspiration, and as loyal as they come. It was a privilege to work with her in Rochester, and to become her friend. The obituary is spot-on, and heartbreakingly reminiscent of this wonderful soul. Bill, thank you for entering her life, recognizing her many gifts, and helping her through the ending. With the power of her love and care and humor, I imagine she will be reaching you forever in wonderful ways. From me here in a normal realm, sympathy beyond words . . . .

SO Sorry for your FAMILY'S LOSS. love and prayers to you all!

So sorry for Joe's passing. Our love and prayers for you all!

To The Bradley Kids! Very saddened by the news of your Dad's passing, so many of us at SeaLand, Maersk, and within the industry considered Gerry much more than a business associate but a true and loyal friend! Am sure you know that Dad and you guys were in Korea when I was there circa 1982-84 but we all go way back to his NYC/ELZ days and Japan/Korea/Taiwan and on and on. He was a regular at my poker matches in Morristown (Rod was there as well?) plus more games at his NJ house which may have included both Rod and Chris? A man of personal integrity, respect for others, a tireless worker.....he will be missed by so many of us, a true friend always!

My condolences to the Avery family. Praying for peace for all of you.

I am so sorry to learn of this. Walter was a close friend in my younger years and we remained in touch afterwards. We shared history in broadcasting and other things including beach music. Connie, my and Marti's prayers are with you now and with Walter forever.

Yogini Mary Ann, Southern Belle and hippie indeed. Your melodious darlin accent. Your bright blue eyes making hearts sing. You wearing that knit cat hat. Your listening with infinite compassion. Your respect for spirit, body, healing, inspiring, relentlessly inspiring. Thank you for so many happy memories Mary Ann. Bless your bad ass soul.

Dear Ed, Diane and I are very sorry to hear Terry passed away. We have some wonderful memories in Puerto Rico. May God bless you and Terry.

Ed, I'm very sorry to hear of your great loss. I will always remember the warmth and welcome that you and Terry gave to me, when I moved to Kalamazoo. We had fun times together at John and Julie's home and it will always be remembered and appreciated!!! Thanks!!! Please feel free to reach out, if you ever need someone to talk too? My thoughts and prayers are with you and your daughters. God Bless!

It's only September but I feel like it's been a lifetime.. I feel lost unable to find my way.. I hold my tears in to cover the pain I feel.. Tiara reminds me daily of your smile she misses. The pain in her heart :( She really is missing HER uncle James. What my girl would do just to hear Tee, Uncle James loves you and always remember that. And she would say "love u 2 Uncle James" with the biggest smile... It hurts, but the storm is over.. Your struggles and pain are over.. Fly high with Tricia and Mom, I'm tough and will fight through this pain.. All I ask is with your new wings Watch over me and my girls.. Protect baby sis for as long as u can.. Until we meet again I love u..... I gotcha ya

Mary Ann, lovely lady, fellow volunteer at WHQR events, you leave a void in our organization and our lives. Peace to you and your family.

Mary Ann was a bright light and magnificent soul. I am sorry for our loss of her in human form and will be Thinking about her every time a butterfly appears.

I met Gerry my very first day at Sealand back in 1988. He, along with Frank Caradonna, took me to lunch – 3 days that week to get me acclimated to my new surroundings. It was then that I realized he had the storytelling “gift” and I was an eager subject listening and learning. He made me laugh (many times), but also took me under his wing to show me the ropes. I worked with him again at Maersk, and will always be thankful for the two World Series Tickets he gave me in 2001 when the Yankees beat the Mets in the Subway Series; tickets no doubt destined to a sizable customer! He was a good man to the core, and watching the tribute video was heartwarming to see the love he had for his family and grandchildren. He will be missed. My condolences to Gerard and all of the Bradley family.

Lovely obituary of a well-lived life. I knew Mary Ann mostly via radio station meetings, but her joy, warmth and humor were very obvious even in those once-in-a-while settings. My sincere condolences to you.

I only met him once, he seemed nice and had very a wonderful smile and soft skin.

I first met Charlie when he approached me about getting involved with the Military Affiliated students at UNCW. At the time, I was the Faculty Advisor to the UNCW Student Veterans Organization and Charlie was representing the Military Officers Association of America. The SVO was growing rapidly, and Charlie said that the MOAA wanted to provide funding to help those students in need. From there, the SVO and the MOAA formed a wonderful alliance and the MOAA has done much to help the Military Affiliated students at UNCW. I will miss Charlie's enthusiasm and his desire to help. I didn't know Charlie very well, but well enough to know he was a man of honor and integrity. May his family be blessed in their time of mourning.

Ward was always proud of Walter, and we both loved being around him. He went through life laughing and making others laugh. Once when we were hosting a Knox family reunion, it “fell a flood” and the wind blew our American flag down onto the porch. Walter quickly picked it up, saying we didn’t need any trouble with the Flag Commission! We loved him so much.

I first met Ted at Dillard's. I was on my way to the restroom when this sharply dressed man stepped out from behind the counter and took hold of my arm. He had this big warm smile and he said to me do you know how old I am and before I could respond he said I am 95. I said no way and he just grinned. I made it a point to always visit him each time I was in Dillard's. He was was a very interesting gentleman and my honor to have met him. My condolences to his family as he was surely a treasure to his family and all who knew him..

Lee was a wonderful son in law and he will be sadly missed. He always tried to kid with me. Made us laugh.

Walter was my first radio boss. He took a chance on a green 18-year old whose copywriting experience was limited to writing for the “family” radio station, and hired me at WKIX in 1972. It was the greatest job ever! I learned so much from Walter, and he instilled in me a love and appreciation for broadcasting that has lasted for over 40 years. He was an amazing teacher and an incredible talent! I will miss him so much. Connie and Katie, I am so sorry for your loss.

No one could ask for a better friend than Gerry Bradley. I worked both for and with Gerry at Sea-Land. We remained close post Sea-Land and into our respective retirements. We talked about every 3 weeks or so and I will so miss those conversations. My joy is that he is with Susan again. Rest In Peace, my dear friend.

I’m so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you and Katy.

We talked about every 3 weeks or so and I will so much miss those conversations. My joy is that he is now with Susan again. Rest In Peace, my friend.

Walter was a couple of years behind me in High School and we were I believe second or third cousins, so I didn't spend that much time with him. I did, however, in recent years reconnect with him on Face Book and had some interesting discussions. I would like to offer my sincerest condolences to the his family. May he rest in peace.

My best memory of my cousin Tony was how he would say how much he loved Fran. Stopping by for a quick visit on my way to my son in Florida, never once did he not remind me of his love for Fran, and what she meant to him. He taught me how to do that ! What fun guy to be around !

Connie and Katie, I am so very sorry for your loss. Walter will be missed. We communicated sporatically, but it was always a pleasure to see an email from Walter Knox! I knew I would be in for a smile, a joke, or some story, or maybe just a Hey how are you? He often said he missed being on the mountain but didn't miss the B.S. up here! You were blessed with a wonderful husband and father. He is certainly at peace now. Love and hugs to you both.

Gerry Rod, I am so saddened by the loss of your father. I was blessed to have worked with Gerry at Sea-land for more than 30 years. We and our families shared a wonderful experience when living in Taiwan in the late 80's. He was a gentle giant who kept everyone in the room at ease with his great stories and non stop deep laughter, Was fortunate to have spent the better part of a week with Gerry at Spring training in Phoenix following tragic loss of your mother. I don't think I ever laughed so much exchanging Sea-Land memories with he and Kenny Moore while our Dodgers repeatedly took down the Giants. Gerry was a good boss and a wonderful friend. He will be missed by many.

It was always so exciting to see Uncle Jerry. He would keep the local Chinese restaurants in business, and couldn’t wait to school me in a game of darts. Extremely accommodating in his home, if you didn’t feel welcome, well then you were just at the wrong address. I will miss him dearly, and wish the best for my cousins and their families.

Walter and I met when he joined the KIX Men of Music in 1967. We worked together as a radio family at the station, because we were all more than fellow employees. Later we all reunited in 1992 with the first Raleigh Radio Legends Reunion, hosted by WTRG Radio in Raleigh. Following that one, there were a number of additional reunions with Walter taking the helm as our coordinstor and the catalyst uniting us all in a unique brotherhood and sisterhood. After the 92 reunion we all came to know Walter and love him, far closer and deeper than when we merely worked together. He selflessly gave of himself and gave the rest of us a firmly set center post to hold on to. We have lost much more than a friend. We've lost an anchoring rock in our lives.

Rip my sweet brother

Remembering how much fun he would have when the bone truck would come by

Don’t forget his days on Big Ways in Charlotte

Mike Dohn

Gerard and M. Belen, We are so sorry for your loss. My condolences for the Bradley family, With love, Gloria and Jorge

Walter was my lifelong friend. We walked home from school together everyday when we were in elementary school in Tarboro. A running joke with us was that I never held it against him that he was in my first wedding! He had an unmistakable voice and was the youngest person in the U.S. licensed to be a radio announcer-- he was 13. When he and Connie lived in Hawaii, I had dinner with them in 1989 when I visited there. They lived in a small town there called Princeville. What are the odds of that! He had a voice that was unmistakable and a groundbreaking career in video production and television, in addition to radio. Our telephone conversations always started with me saying, "Hello, Ace." In 1969, I was invited for his home for dinner in Raleigh. He said there would be another guest. It was Tony Joe White, who made the record, "Polk Salad Annie," and he was gorgeous. He was playing at a local club that night and we all went together. It was an unforgettable night. He was a record producer, a movie editor and a wonderful husband and father. I already miss him.

The one time I met Walter he was delightful. I feel like I knew him better because I heard so many stories from Michael. He was a better father to Michael than his “real” father ever was.

So sorry to hear about Walter's death. I listened to him on KIX during my college years at UNC (1969-73). I enjoyed watching him as Old Coot Jackson on "Cowboy Classics" on WCCB. Walter did a great job on the commercials for Carolina Waterbed and Stratford House Furniture. I appreciate his work on the KIX Rewound website. I'll miss his contributions to the NC Broadcasting History page on Facebook. My deepest sympathy goes out to Walter's family.

I had the pleasure of working with Gerry for several years. He was a mentor to many, admired and respected by all. His infectious laugh is what I remember most vividly. He was such a good man. My deepest condolences to his family.

Connie, I don’t think I ever had the pleasure of meeting Walter but had many enjoyable conversations with him, especially about how great radio used to be in the 60’s and 70’s. He was a tremendous broadcaster and a great resource for those associated with the broadcasting industry. We are very sorry for your loss but he is at peace. Please let me know if there is anything I can do.

Walter and I both worked on-air in eastern North Carolina in the 1960’s — Walter in Tarboro and me in Rocky Mount. A fond memory is the time when we had lunch with Soupy Sales during a movie promotional tour. Walter and I communicated a lot during the last several months, via Facebook. I will miss him.

May you find light in the darkness, knowing that one day you will reunited in a better place with no pain and only know love that is everlasting.

I didn't know Mr. Knox personally but I knew of him because of WKIX. We were part of the big fraternity of radio broadcasters. We shared some Facebook posts recently in radio forum. So sorry to hear of his passing. My deepest sympathy to his family and friends. May God's love help the healing of your hearts.

Afterglow by Helen Lowrie Marshall “I’d like the memory of me to be a happy one. I’d like to leave an afterglow of smiles when life is done. I’d like to leave an echo whispering softly down the ways, Of happy times and laughing times and bright and sunny days. I’d like the tears of those who grieve, to dry before the sun of happy memories that I leave when life is done.” Our deepest condolences on your sudden loss. With love and compassion, The Ryan Family - Melissa, Jim, Joseph & James

Connie, this is shocking news. Some of my fondest memories of working as a freelance lighting director are of working with VPC of America. Never will forget how I met Walter...he called me out of the blue and ask me to come over to his house on East 5th St in CLT. He wanted me to take a look at some lights he had bought just after he had started VPC. That was the beginning of a long enjoyable relationship. We traveled to many countries over the years do videos and shows for IBM. Connie and Katie I am so sorry for your loss. Prayers go out to both of you.

I first met Walter when he worked with Bob Harper at WCPS in TARBORO and later followed his as HWK.on WKIX. We’ve been friends for decades. To Connie and the family,I,send my prayers and condolences during this time of great loss. May Walter Rest In Peace.

Walter was one of the best in the business. Always prepared and always a friend. RIP Walter.

Alan and all of the Gilbert family, I was so sorry to learn of Terry's passing. Please know that you are all in my prayers. With my love, Linda Sauser Tate

I made home visits while working with Liberty Home Care in Supply. I provided physical therapy. I enjoyed coming to your home and loved our fun talks. Such a beautiful lady inside and out. I miss her.

Although we only met Steve once or twice, his warmth, gentleness and kindness shone through. We are very grateful for the joy he brought into fiancée Kim’s life and are so very sorry for his loss.

I met Dick at the Red Cross in Disaster Services many years ago. We quickly discovered that we were neighbors and that he and Liz lived around the corner from our family. I always admired Dick’s dedication and love for the Red Cross. Times could be stressful during disaster operations, but he went about his work quietly, always willing to help and offer a supportive hand. When you approached his desk, you could expect that sly smile and the “lowdown” on what was really happening. It was a privilege to work alongside Dick during many disaster relief operations, but it was even better that our family got to know Dick and Liz as friends.

I remember how he was a great father & how he always made me feel important as his daughter. And also how he loved to take pictures with his camera and how he spent most of his time in the yard. I love you daddy & you'll never be forgotten.

What a loss of a wonderful, giving lady by the name of Mary Ann Toler...She was one of our best Docents at the Burgwin Wright House Museum where she brought history back from the 1700s with excitement and intelligent verbiage..She will be missed by many of us that had the pleasure of working with her...

Uncle Henry is a very loving and caring person. Very special to my Mom Helen Malpass and myself.

Gerry been my friend since 2009. We had lunch and shopped for furniture on Friday the day before he passed. We talked and laughed. Often vehemently disagreeing on politics we remained good friends throughout these stressful times. Gerry and I travelled to Las Vegas and took a trip to Cuba. We enjoyed going to restaurants. We played poker with friends here and in Holden Beach. His poker buddies thought highly of him though he often took everyone's money. He will be missed by all of us.

Praying for the Autry family at this time. Reggie, the Bible promises that the Lord will not put upon us more than we can bear. We are uplifting you, Camden and Torren in fervent prayer. Remember the faith that was passed down from your father and mother. The Lord is near to the brokenhearted.

My condolences to the Johnson family, and thank you for your service, Mr. Johnson. My father, James Thompson, served as a fellow crew member on the Thuban as a coxswain during WWII. Seven Battle Stars for those years. Thank you for a life well lived.

The last time I saw Sonja she was looking for cat food for our homeless work cat. We didn't have any so she searched the office until she found a can of tuna and fed the cat with that. That was the type of person Sonja was, so amazingly caring that she would go out of her way to make sure a homeless cat wouldn't go hungry. I will miss you my friend and if you're listening, I will feed our cat.

What a blessing and treasure to know Mary Ann. She was one of the most irreverent, funny women in my life. We laughed till it hurt or we wet our pants. She was a million rays of sunshine beaming her love upon us without hesitation. I see her in my mind’s eye and know she’s at peace, and never will leave our hearts. Bill, thank you for being so totally devoted and loving during such a difficult battle with cancer. I can’t imagine how her passing has affected you. Forever and always, I will love her, too.

He was very special to me and my mom.

Fred so sorry for your loss. Our prayers are with you and your family. Herb will never be forgotten and neither will his smile and stories.

Mary Ann was my best friend. She would always find a way to make me laugh in a tough situation. She would offer friendly advice, and she never abandoned her friends. Also she was a huge animal lover, and had a heart for the poor. My heart goes out to Bill. He should feel proud that Mary Ann made a difference in so many lives. Rest in peace my friend. I will add always love you!

Diane

Not a day goes by that I don't think of you, Daddy. Life will never be the same for me. I will love you and miss you forever. Your baby girl.

I have so many great memories with uncle Henry Lee that is hard to pick one. I will miss him so very much.

Carolyn I have known & loved you for what seems to be forever. You have always been a wonderful, caring person & I will surely miss you, your smile & our chats. I have some wonderful memories of you throughout my life& I will cherish them forever. It breaks my heart you are gone. Definitely to soon. I love you always. Love, Christina

I love and miss you mom

We are truly saddened by my mother's passing. She was a loving, kind, generous, and wonderful lady who was a mother, a grandmother, and a great-grandmother who could do just about anything. She loved her family, and her pets. She enjoyed traveling, gardening, shopping, and socializing with her friends. We will always love and remember you mom. You were the best, and you left us way too early, but we will see you again one day.

Bill, my heart aches what I know is a fraction of the loss you are feeling. I'm in awe of the selfless caring and nurturing you gave Mary Ann. I will always remember her infectious smile and wit. Sending you so much love and hope for healing.

Sonja was such a positive and happy person. My condolences to all of her family, I know the loss is immensely painful.

Aunt Mildred has led a wonderful life and will be greatly missed by many. My fondest memories was spending time with her either talking & laughing, fishing, or making sweet ice tea. She was a special Aunt to me. Prayers to her sweet family.

Keeping you in my Prayers

Dear Fay, Tracy and Marty, Sending my deepest condolences to you during this time of sadness as we mourn Terry's passing. She was the best and brought joy to all of us who knew her. May God wrap his arms around you and give you His peace that passes all understanding. Much Love always, Gina Brooks Cornick

Stacy, we are praying for you and your family. May God give you all peace and comfort. We love you.

It's impossible for me to think of Devin without thinking of my brother. I can still see them as young boys growing up and playing on Collinwood Avenue. They shared a lifelong friendship and gave each unwavering support. I hope all your good memories of Devin give you comfort during this time of grief. I am so sorry for your loss.

So sad to hear this news. Terry was a lovely person and I remember her kindness and smiles at Greenville High School. To all the Gilbert and Noe Family, my prayers and thoughts. I know you are heartbroken. Alan, Marty and Tracy...may God give you peace and comfort in this time and always.✝️ Marty and Tracy...

My husband and I met Ted at Dillard’s several years ago and have thought of him often over the years , we often wondered how he was doing and started searching for his business card . We found the card today and I researched his name. Just saw his obituary and other accolades over the past several years . Ted was truly an inspiration to my husband and I , after meeting him at Dillard’s he proceeded to tell us about his loss of his wife Claire and showed us pictures of her . His work effort was amazing and one that we should all strive to have . He truly was a special soul and one that is celebrating in Heaven with his savior and wife Claire ! So thankful we got to meet him and share some of his insight and love for his wife ! Prayers for his family , for their loss of such an amazing father ❤️

I miss you so much dad more than anything i would give everything I have to have you back or just to go on one last fishing trip or just sit in the shop and teach me things and stories of work I miss and love you so much rest easy I know your in a better place but I think about you every second all the memories we made all the fun times I can’t wait to see you again

Ed, Kelly and Kasey- I’m so sorry for your loss. I remember Terry well as a little girl growing up while we were living in Greenville back in the late 50s. She was always a go getter and never lost it. She made me fill ver welcomed during the weekend of Fay’s 90th birthday celebration at your home. Also enjoyed talking with her at a couple of weddings. My heart goes out you and the girls during this difficult time,

Terry was a true friend and her presence could light up a room! With her southern charm and all, she always made you feel like a member of her own family, whether dropping by for a quick visit or an extended stay. She also had no problem putting you to work like family. Terry was not only an awesome instructor and dancer, but also a great storyteller. She always managed to get a funny story or two about the perils of family life in between routines. Terry left us on earth for heaven doing what she loved best – Jazzercise. Knowing her, she’s probably already forming her own class up there. Ed, Kelly, and Kasey you are in my thoughts.

I never knew your dad, by my mom did. His service in the military is the legacy of men that led me to join and serve our country. He is a true hero, and I’m saddened the world has lost him. But we will always remember our brothers and sisters who have gone before us.

Mr. Ted was an almost daily patron of the Surfside Beach Library. We always knew it was getting close to lunchtime when Mr. Ted would walk in to read the newspaper. He touched the lives and hearts of many people at the library, whether it was the ladies working at the desk who he entertained with his jokes or the other patrons who would sit and talk with him about his long life. Due to COVID-19 we were not able to see Mr. Ted for the last few months and were sorry to hear about his passing. Still, we feel blessed that we got to know him in the first place. I personally was able to wish Mr. Ted happy birthday when he turned 99, 100, 101, and 102. It was an honor to know him.

I am so heartbroken Terri was such a great instructor and so very funny! She had such a great sense of humor. She will truly be missed. My heartfelt sympathy goes out to Terri's family and friends and you will all be in my thoughts and prayers.

To the Bonelli Family, Deepest condolences from the Memmo family. So very sorry for the loss of Eligio. We had so many great times and have so many joyful memories from our days on Malvern Avenue. Seeing your photos brings back to life those special times. Sharing peace from our family to yours.

love you "sis"

fly on the wings of angels sis. I love you and will miss you, your laugh and our speial time when you visited here.

Bill, I was saddened to hear that Mary Ann had transitioned. She was a joy to everyone she met. I want to express my heartfelt sympathy to you and your family.

I am so sorry to hear of Joe’s passing. While I wasn’t able to get to know him I do know how much you loved and cared for him. Please know you are in my thoughts.

I was certainly sorry to hear about Terry's untimely death, and want to express my sympathy to Ed and his family. Terry was a very vibrant person who will definitely be missed by her family, and all the people she interacted with.

From all of us at Mason Tire in Surfside, he will surely be missed. When ever I was lucky to run into Mr. Ted he always had a smile on his face and was such a gentleman! He will be missed by many in the area. Prayers to all his family & friends.....

Chrissy, I didn't get a chance to meet you or Lee, but I just know he is a beautiful husband and father, so lovingly exibited through his children that I have met Ryan, Allison and Sarah. May God comfort you and Lee's entire family though this difficult time. Love and prayers, Linda

When losing a mentor and friend once I was told something that went kind of like this, There is a misbelief that death as an injustice, but remember what the caterpillar calls the end the Master calls the butterfly. I must add you may breathe in their love anytime. Sam & Linda Taylor

when losing a fine mentor and friend made me feel like crumbling, another friend told me something that helped, it went kind of like this-There is a misbelief that death is an injustice, remember what the caterpillar calls the end, the master calls the butterfly....I must add to that, u can breathe in the love of the lost anytime. know we r thinking of you , Sam & Linda Taylor

May she be in the presence of Our Lord and her loved ones up in heaven A great mother and grandmother with a heart of gold.

It was a true honor to know your Dad Ted Ross and all his life accomplishments but most of all his smile was everlasting. He had the best loving spirit. This world will certainly miss him but know he is at true peace. Our deepest sympathy to Debbie, Pam and Sandra and your families. Bob & Felicia Sachs. Myrtle Beach.

Ed and family— Chris and I send our deepest sympathy and love to your family.

Fred, I was so saddened by your loss. Having lost my John in February, I know the heartbreak of a Best Friend, who happens to be your husband. I’m thankful that you, like me, has a big network of people who care and are there for us. Please feel free to call me anytime 910-233-2233........some days are better than others. It’s a roller coaster, but we can take comfort in knowing our long marriages developed a forever loving bond with our husbands. I will be keeping you and your family in my prayers. Much love to you♥️

Sonya was a wonderful person, as it has been said so many times, I wish God could have shared that angel just a little longer, but he must have needed another angel in Haven to watch over us. We will miss her. God Bless her Family. I feel blessed for knowing her.

Your dad was such a joy to be around. You are blessed to have him as you father. He lived a full life and spread joy to anyone he encountered. I know how huge this loss is but he could not have asked for a better daughter taking care of him. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Sonja was always smiling. She was always willing to jump in and give a hand or make you smile to brighten your day. She was very self-less. She will be missed.

Vernell, My late Grandma Mildred best Childhood Friend and Family like all my life. I will always love our memories of a lifetime and Clarence too. God’s blessings of 90 years !!!! In Loving Remembrance ❤️ Keep Smiling

Sincerest condolences

Aunt Vernell was a very special person and will be missed by many. Hugs to Connie, Sharon, Randy and Sheila.

After 40 years, it was a pleasure to visit with and get reacquainted with Aunt Vernell, a few years ago. I definitely enjoyed the time with her. She will be missed by many people. Hugs to Connie, Sharon, Randy and Sheila.

My deepest condolences to her family whom I know without a doubt were her most cherished of life. The sudden loss of Sonja comes as a shock and is a loss for everyone around. I will miss her and her sage advice and ability to stay positive in even the most challenging of circumstances. I'm honored to have had the time I was fortunate enough to have with Sonja.

Ed, Kelly & Kasey, We are so sorry to hear of Terry’s passing. It is such a shock to hear that such a healthy, vibrant woman could be gone so soon. We will miss her sweet face on your annual Christmas card. Rest in peace Terry❤️

Sonja was an incredible person who will be greatly missed. She brought so much to CCLCF and worked daily to help those in need. We will miss her compassion, kind spirit, laughter, and sweet stories about her family. I am grateful I had the chance to know her.

Sonja was truly a light in our world. We will miss her and her beautiful smile.

Bill, My deepest condolences. My heart is broken as I know yours must be too. Mary Ann was truly special. I will miss her deep laugh and snarky wit.

Sonja was a true angel on earth! She had the most beautiful heart, and brought joy to anyone who met her. She will be missed greatly! Prayers, blessings, and love to her family and friends. Her son and husband were all she talked about, and were her whole world, may God bless them and bring them peace, love, light, and hope.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you Sharon, Connie and Randy. Your mom was a force to be reckoned with, like our mom. I remember when we were kids we always had so much fun at your house at our sleepovers after Saturday night dancing. Your mom always made sure there was plenty of food to eat. Heaven received another great person. Our hearts go out to you. Love to you all. Joanne, Ginger and the Thompson Family.

Jane I'm so sorry to hear of Wynn's passing. He was a wonderful person a joy to be around. My prayers are with you, Gabby and the rest of the family.

Aunt Vernell was a beam of light. She and my mom were the tightest of friends in Hialeah, sitting at the table having coffee and chatting daily. Vernell had a way with words like no other and could make you laugh often. She was a warm giving person and we lost a mischievous earth angel. She will be forever remembered fondly and joyful. Deepest condolences to the family. Most lovingly from the Kerr’s of Melbourne Fl and Wilmington NC

May you rest in paradise and Connie will know your always with her as her sunbeam to warm her heart always. ⚘

Heaven needed another Angel and called for Vernell. One of the nicest person I had the privilege to be around growing up in Hialeah, Fl with Sharon, Connie and Randy. She was always welcoming and I loved her cooking!!! As kids we would try to sneak something by her but she always knew what was going on. Her and Clarence always had an open door for any of their kids friends and believe me we were a wild bunch. R.I.P. Vernell you will always be missed and loved by all who met you. My heartfelt condolences to Sharon, Connie, Randy and the rest of the family. Love to all Mercedes

My deepest condolences.

She was the best and My favorite person. Never met a stranger. I love you and will miss you forever and ever!

Terry & her eternal sidekick Maxi at Live Oak Real Estate. We laughed so hard we both had tears in our eyes. We both thought some of the weirdest things were so funny. Terry you always said how much Maxi loved me,but you were Loved So Much by anyone that got to know you. You could appear all business and yet you were ready to explode laughing over something. I couldn't believe it when I heard you had passed. I will never forget you. To Ed Kelly and Kasey; She was a special woman as you well know,always think how she would want you to carry on and laugh about all the good times. You can't help feeling lost, by your loss,but Terry wouldn't want that. She would say "get with it" and think of me in Happy terms. She was a Great friend and co-worker and was so much fun.

I will always remember grandma she was the sweetest woman alive but the firmest at the same time she had very little that she let bother her im going to miss stopping by and seeing her in her chair and giving her a hug as small as she was she was a hard woman I loved her loke she was my own grandma Sarah Alex Deric Adam and mama Terri im so so so sorry for yalls loss let me know if yall need anything at all

She was a wonderful lady .so sorry for your loss

So sorry, Liz, for your loss. When duty is done, here on earth, angels take flight. Fair winds and following seas, Dick. You will always be in our thoughts and prayers. God Bless.

So sorry for your loss!!

It is hard to wrap your mind around how life can change in an instant. Our sincerest heartfelt sympathy goes out to you - Terry’s family. Mark and I are so glad we had the opportunity to reconnect in Key West. We did not see each other often enough although we always kept up through Uncle Fay. Terry brought a lot of joy to so many and that is something special to cherish. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Love, Sandra and Mark

One of the proudest moments that I had as Mayor of Surfside Beach was presenting the Key to our town to Ted Ross, when he was 100 years old.

I send sincere condolences to my Palank cousins and all of Uncle Joe's family. As a child, I remember visiting with Uncle Joe who lived then on Knickerbocker Road in the Sleepy Hollow NY area famous for scary tales. Uncle Joe had gentle fun scaring his young nieces and nephews with the Headless Horseman story. He was also one of the smartest people I've ever met.

Dear Jane, I was so sorry to hear that Wynn had passed away. I lived on Creekstone for many years before moving to Leland after my husband passed away. Please know that you and family remain in my prayers.

Dear Ed, Kelly, and Kasey you were Terry’s world. She was so proud of her family. I was fortunate to be a part of not only Terry’s world, but that of her family and I hope that continues. When the family moved to Kalamazoo, MI, Terry joined the SW Michigan Jazzercise Instructor family. To say Terry contributed greatly would be an understatement. Terry was not only an amazing instructor, she was a best friend. I will cherish all of the wonderful memories that the last 35 years gave us. Ed, Kelly, and Kasey you are in our thoughts and prayers.

Her compassion for her family and the people that she helped at CCLCF...she was always smiling. Giving thanks and praises! Prayers to the family

Mrs. Rowe

The adventurous cousins fought to get in Uncle Joe's car. I am sure that wherever he is, he got there lickety split. Oh, and that smile....

Simone so sad to hear about Devin, we were heartbroken for you and Collin when we heard the news. Know that you both are in our thoughts and prayers!!

Dear Uncle Fay, Gilbert, & Ed Noe families. Our hearts are sadden of the news of Terry. So many memories of my summers growing up and visiting our Gilbert cousins! Greg and I were blessed to have been neighbors in Abilene, Texas and our time in a HOT Key West, Florida. Our condolences, prayers and love for you. Terry will be missed.

My deepest condolences to you and your family. Sending healing thoughts and prayers.

Terry was a neighbor and a friend. Our daughter and hers were friends. Terry arranged a weekend in Chicago where we saw plays and the town. Their family was a close one. Her enthusiasm will be missed by everyone who knew here. Our prayers are with Ed, Kelly and Kasey.

Terry was a neighbor and friend and surrogate mother to our daughter who shared many happy times at the Noe home. Her enthusiasm and love of life were always evident. Our prayers and thoughts are with Ed, Kelly and Kasey at this time.

Mark, to you and your entire family, I am so sorry to hear this sad news. What a loss. I hope your Joy is now dancing with your Mom. <3

Dear Ed, Kelley and Casey, Our hearts are heavy on the news of Terry's passing. The light in this world is a little more dim with Terry gone. She was a spark of enthusiasm and energy. Would have given you the shirt off her back kind of friend. We are blessed to have had her in our life. You are in our prayers.

I have such fond memories of Terry. I took several Jazzercise classes with her and she was always so full of life. My deepest sympathies are with you. Sending love and light.

Dear Ed and girls, I was sorry and shocked to read about Terry's passing. Although I hardly knew her, I will never forget her. I will always remember her smile and passion for living life to the fullest. She was definitely one in a million.

Anyone who rescues and cares for animals the way that Melissa did has a beautiful heart. And no one could have experienced more love and care than Melissa did in her last days from her brother Jerry and Peggy. She left us in the way that we all would have wished, in a loving circle with hands linked with her beloved brother and mother.

Kelly and Kasey: Our whole family....Erin, Addie, Mr. B, and I...send you love in abundance as you deeply mourn the loss of your mother. The loss of a mother is a profound one, to be sure. Our love won't lessen your grief, but maybe it will simply help to know that you are held deeply in our hearts. You two lovely, young women came from good stock, from both mom and dad, and we have always admired your parents for raising you properly and lovingly, and with some of the finest manners we've ever seen in young people. We're quite certain that your mother had a good deal of positive influence in your lives and wish we had told her so. (Ed...your influence was also remarkable, and we're telling you so now!!) Kelly, you are a very special part of our lives, and have been for over 23 years. May the knowledge of your mother's passing from this side of heaven to the better side help lift all hearts, especially yours and your family members', as you all journey on without her physcial presence. Remember this... the bible says (in 2 Peter 3:8) that..."With the Lord, a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years like a day." (This speaks to the eternal nature of the Lord and our being.) So in just a few moments, your mother will look over her shoulder and see each of you there with her. (This could take many earthly years.) It will be a glorious reunion for the Noes! We Buchtrups love you all to pieces, and are holding each one of you up in our heartfelt prayers.

Dear uncle Fay and family, while I hadn’t talked with my cousin Terry in some time, my sister Carolyn kept me in the loop of many of Terry’s activities. What a joy she was to so many. I saw many pictures of gatherings with friends and family where Terry was there with her shining smile. Her love of dance took her to a place of passion with Jazzercize where she thrived so much. I have wonderful memories of our family visits when we were children. My heart is with you and I wish I could be there to embrace all of you.

One of our favorite memories of Terry was when she came into our store years ago. She said that she was opening a Jazzercise Studio. She was so excited. She went to her car and got her music and brought it in the store and began teaching us a class. She has been a special part of our lives ever since that day. Everytime she came in she was a breath of fresh air. We will miss her greatly. Our condolences go out to Ed and their girls. Lynn & Susan

Terry is one of the reasons I became a Jazzercise instructor. I remember going to class with my mom. I remember Terry putting classes together when my sister and I came to watch the girls/visit from up the road. Terry was one of a kind. I am so sorry to the family for your loss and have you in my thoughts.

I just found out about David's passing. He was a super nice guy. I'm glad he got to have a long and happy marriage to Maryanne and I he got to be a grandfather. My heartfelt condolences go out to his family. I'm sure that he is greatly missed.

I met Terry through her good friend Joan many years ago. She enveloped me into their friendship with grace, love, and wit. I joined her Jazzercise class and was able to experience her joy and enthusiasm. She made sweating fun! I am grateful for the chance to have known her and to have been called a friend. My deepest condolences to Ed and family - also to the many, many friends she had. She touched us all and will be missed.

He was a good and honorable man who was a gentleman and always helped others. He will be missed but not forgotten. Now he walks with God

He was a good man who always helped others and made a difference. It was an honor and privilege to have known him. He will be missed but not forgotten. Now he is walking with God.

He was a good man who always made a difference. I consider it an honor and a great privilege to have known him. His presence on this earth will be missed. Now he is with God.

I met Terry through Jazzercise. She was always so full of life and made us laugh along w/sweating during class! My heart goes out to her family.

Oh Terry, Terry, Terry - there was no one else like you that’s for sure! What a great addition you were to my new life in America and what memories I have. Impossible to think of you and not start laughing at all the fun times and your crazy take on the world. The smiles will last forever despite the fact that you shockingly didn’t!

So sorry to hear of Mr. Wynn’s passing. He was a very inviting and kind man the few times I was able to meet him and spend any time with him. He loved his family. He will be dearly missed! Praying for you all in this difficult time!

So sorry Kelly Noe and family. My thoughts and condolences.

I was always excited to see Dan working at HD, he was always so full of life and loved talking about his family. He never failed to put a smile on my face no matter how my day was going. We're all going to miss you, until we meet again.

Dick was a true example of a man who loved his country and proved it with his service in the military and in retirement. Hubert John and I will never forget his support and encouragement during a troublesome hospitalization. His antiquing knowledge was extraordinary and enjoyed. His survival from Viet Nam to his passing proved his bravery throughout his life. His memory will be saved for our boys, now men and their children. Hoping for Full Military Honors when laid to rest. Hugh will remember the time watching old Westerns. Thank you for your service.

You could walk into any room Terry and make a new friend. I am so fortunate you walked into my life over 30 years ago and we formed an unbreakable bond. I am heartbroken that you are no longer here to confide in, laugh with and support one another. I know your faith was strong and you are well. The rest of us will miss you terribly. Thank you for all you gave us.

Jane, Wynn was such a blessing to know. I will always remember him for his smile and being such a devoted Christian . I loved being around both of you. He will be deeply missed that so thankful that he is with Christ and no longer in pain.

Before cell phones, before GPS, we were taking the kids to a youth rally in Kernersville. I had the boys in my car. We were on I-40 between Raleigh and Durham, it was dark, pouring rain, there were concrete barricades along the road, and it was around rush hour. I was following Wynn in his car and had to memorize the shape of his taillights in order to keep up with him in traffic. I will follow you anywhere, Wynn!

Jeannie, I am so sorry to hear about Joe. I remember him as a very kind person and always ready for a new adventure. May God comfort you during this sad time. I love you , Jeannie..........

Dear Jane, Gabby and the Hair family: I met Wynn around 2005 and I found him to be the most kind and jovial man! I could tell right away that he loved is Lord, his family and his neighbor. He walked the walk and wasn't just ALL talk. I enjoyed conversations with him during health visits about his mission travels and his love of his family. He inspired me to do mission travel as well, which I hope to do one day! Jane, I know you are going to miss this wonderful man that you both have stood together through a LOT of pain! He will forever no doubt be looking down on you and the rest of your family as an angel of God. Love and condolences to you all!

Words cannot express the sadness I feel by the loss of our beloved Terry. I will forever miss the spark, vitality and humor she brought to our Jazzercise class. She had a special and personal touch. Irreplaceable and unforgettable and forever in my heart. My deepest condolences to Ed, Kelly and Kasey and to all who knew and loved her - they were many.

We remember Wynn’s faithfulness to the Lord and his great willingness to help in any place needed! We will always remember his beautiful voice and Love for his family!

Wynn was someone who you could look to . Great Christan Family Man also. He will be singing with all our loved ones .

Jane, I am so saddened by your loss. May God grant you understanding and peace.

I wish I had the right words, just know we care. You and your loved ones will be in our thoughts and prayers. We are just a phone call away. Love you much. Skip & Nancy Long

Wynn was one of the joyous people I met at church and loved getting one of his big hugs and hearing his booming wonderful voice with his daughter, Wendy, at church. Love this whole family to pieces and Wynn will be truly missed!! Always thinking of you Jane and your continuous strength and faith!

Sam I am, I love you and will see you again.

Mr. Wynn was a great man who allowed people he barely knew to come to his home and hide out during a hurricane. He cuddled my girls and allowed us the pleasure of getting to know him. I wish we could have known him longer. He will be greatly missed.

Our deepest sympathy go out to the family of our neighbor Joe. May he rest in peace.

My father and I wish to express our deepest condolences to the Walker family. We remember Mrs. Walker as a wonderfully kind person. Our prayers are with all of you.

I have known Dick (Sarge) since 1971. We shared a lot of great memories of the National Red Cross Aquatic schools at Camp Rockmont near Asheville NC. Over the years we shared and traded Red Cross emblems, chapter pins and other Red Cross paraphernalia. A great guy, I will cherish the memories. My sincere condolences to the Lavin family. Don Stephens (aka) The Squirrel

"To Where You Are" By Josh Groban sums it up for me: Who can say for certain Maybe you're still here I feel you all around me Your memory's so clear Deep in the stillness I can hear you speak You're still an inspiration Can it be That you are my Forever love And you are watching over me from up above Fly me up to where you are Beyond the distant star I wish upon tonight To see you smile If only for awhile to know you're there A breath away's not far To where you are Are you gently sleeping Here inside my dream And isn't faith believing All power can't be seen As my heart holds you Just one beat away I cherish all you gave me everyday 'Cause you are my Forever love Watching me from up above And I believe That angels breathe And that love will live on and never leave Fly me up To where you are Beyond the distant star I wish upon tonight To see you smile If only for awhile To know you're there A breath away's not far

Words cannot express the shock and sorrow that I am feeling. Terry was a ray of sunshine and kept us Jazzercise "girls" inspired with her "never give up" attitude. I will always remember the wonderful Christmas dinners, with the assistance of "Slave 1 and Slave 2", fun pool parties, and the funny stories that she would tell. Terry had a way of making each one of us feel special. My sincerest condolences go out to the whole family, especially Ed, Kelly and Kasey. Terry will be so missed, and Jazzercise will not be the same without her.

Dear Ed, Kelly and Kasey, I never had the opportunity to meet you all in person but I (we) know so much about you. Terry would share "family" experiences during class that would make us laugh and empathize with her. You all were her world. Terry was an amazing jazzercise instructor, full of energy and paizazz! She was a great friend, mentor and serious listener. Terry was loved by so many. May God keep you in His care. May your memories help lift you in your time of need. Respectfully, Linda Garris

Mr. Wynn was more than a brother in Christ, he was a mentor. A man I looked up to and was always willing to listen and pray for me. I will always cherish the memories: his famous Wynn burgers, Youth Rallies, and of course leading the congregation in worship. God took a good man home to heaven and I rest easy at night imagining him sitting with his children. I know my mom is there, too. Mrs. Jane, I love you and I'm continously praying for you during this difficult time.

I am so heartbroken over the loss of Terry. She was one of the first people I met when I moved to Wilmington, and she made everything feel like home again. She was warm, kind, and loved life. I will miss so many things about Terry, most especially her ability to turn a planned short get together into a full day together. Her laugh was one of my favorite sounds, and the world just seems off knowing we won't hear it again. Our deepest sympathies to Ed, Kelly, & Kasey.

So heartbroken over the loss of our dear friend Terry. I’ll cherish all the fun and crazy Jazzercise memories with her not only in class but also the parties, movies, and breakfast outings. My deepest condolences to Ed and the family during this sad time. Please know that you will be in my thoughts and prayers.

One of my favorite memories of Terry was during a visit to their home in Wilmington. She enthusiastically welcomed me, my son Chris, and my mom. One night, Terry became Chris’s “Olympic judge” as Chris (then 11 yrs old) did a series of dives, slides, and acrobatics onto a mat in the middle of the pool. Terry gave a hilarious mix of commentary and scores for over an hour. It was evident that she loved life and I am thankful I was able to be a part of it.

My dear sweet Kelly, My heart breaks for you and your family. Your Mother was beautiful. I just know how much all of you will miss her. With love and prayers, Wanda Musselwhite

Ohhhhh how I’m going to miss Terri!! She was one of the most beautiful,energetic, and loving person I’ve ever known. She was so many things to so many. We were blessed to have known her!! Will forever love you Terri!!

I had no idea my good friend Archie had passed away. He and I worked together at DuPont and we both were in the Trans Am car club. He was a kind, generous, easy going fellow whom everyone respected. I am sad to know he is longer with us. His memory will always be. RIP my friend. God Bless to the family.

Terry brought a zany, happy attitude in all she did. Loved her. Her girls meant the world. Special girl made us all laugh like crazy. Hugs to the family. So sorry.

May God be with your family, bringing you comfort & peace in this time of loss. I will always remember Terry leading the class.

Sending my most sincere sympathy to Terry's family. Terry was such a beautiful, dynamic person, and I am blessed to have known her. Pat Pinter

Lee was a great guy, I worked with him for years on the Bear Mountain Bridge and was happy to call him a friend. He will be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with his family during this difficult time

Dear Kristin & Riley-- My father John, my sister Linda, and myself were so very sad to hear about your Mom's passing... She was a beautiful and vibrant woman with a generous heart, a warm smile, an infectious laugh, and a talent for finding fun wherever she went! John met Barbara at their Cancer Survivor support group and they became good friends! They often enjoyed each other's company at restaurants, concerts, movies, travel trips, and at each other's homes... I was lucky enough to accompany Barbara and John with my girlfriend on a trip to Las Vegas in 2009... I can't remember anytime in my life where I've laughed so hard for a whole week!!! One evening, Barbara & Dad made plans to take a gondola ride at the Venetian Hotel... My girlfriend and I decided that those two crazy kids needed a chaperone, so we tagged along to try and keep them out of trouble! It was explained to us all that legend has it that when lovers pass under the "Bridge of Sighs" and kiss at that very moment, their love will last forever... As the gondolier steered us under the bridge, singing to us Italian love songs, I turned to my girlfriend and kissed her... Dad turned to Barbara and kissed her, as well... When the gondola came out from under the bridge, I looked over at Barbara & Dad and I started to laugh... Barbara asked me what was so funny?! I looked at my girlfriend, then back again at Barbara & Dad... Still laughing, I said, "I just realized that I'm on a double date with my Father!!!" We all started laughing and it has become a cherished memory in our lives... Barbara...the legend is true...our love you you will last forever!!!

Deepest sympathy for Earl Walker & family. I thought so much of Virginia. She was such a good person

Dearest Fred, I remember how much you loved each other all those years ago. You are in my thoughts and Prayers. God Bless !!

I enjoyed talking to him when saw him at parties or at bingo with my mom. My prayers are with his family and I love you all.

My condolences for your loss, Chris and family. This too shall pass.

I am saddened by the loss of my big brother. You are loved and you will always be missed.

Dear Miz Peggy... I hold you all in my prayers. Melissa is now free and fully whole. Bless you all during this time and always. From a deeply grateful former employee of the original NAH clinic.

My thoughts and prayers are with family and friends. Melissa always wore the best smelling perfume. She taught me many years ago how to wear it. Spray in the air and walk through the mist. I think about her every time I use it. We had lots of good times at conferences (especially in Florida) and working together. She will be missed.

We went to church with Morris and Joanne for many years. He always had a smile on his face when ever he talked to you. What a nice nice man. He will be missed . Love to you all Kay and Richard

Mrs. Walker was such a amazing woman. She always had a smile on her face & a hug waiting for you. I have mostly grown up with her when she served at WCA in the cafeteria. I had the privilege of talking to her for at least three hours at the Homecoming Game & Ceremony. We talk about so many things. She will definitely be missed. Her family is in my thoughts & prayers. I send my deepest condolences.

We loved Ginger so much! She was so precious to us and we take comfort that we will see her again someday. May God grant His perfect peace to our love Earl and all the family.

I had the privilege of knowing Virginia through our time at Bank of America. She was always thoughtful and kind. She will be greatly missed.

Mrs. Walker was such a amazing woman. I sort of grew up around her when she served at WCA in the cafeteria. I had the privilege to sit beside her & talk to her for at least three hours at the WCA 2020 Homecoming Game & Ceremony. We talked about so much. Every single time I would see her she always had a smile on her face & a hug waiting for you. She will be dearly missed. My sincere condolences to her family who lost a special jewel. Her family are in my thoughts & prayers.

Ginger, I will miss your quick wit and quirky ways. You have been such an example of a passionate, behind-the-scenes worker since I have known you, and a faithful spouse to Earl--an example for us all. I am confident that you are already bossing folks around in heaven, and organizing banquets and get-togethers...I can't wait to see what you have orchestrated for us when we get there! Miss you, friend.

Prayers for comfort for Sue & the family from your Cousin in N. Georgia....Patricia Silcox

Prayers and thoughts of comfort for Sue & the family......Patricia A. Silcox, your Cuz in N. Georgia

Ginger was a wonderful loving person. She and I were cousins. More than that she was a friend and like a sister to me and my mother. My mother, her first cousin, loved Ginger and her family very much. Sadly, my mother can't remember but I can remember all the good times we had years ago and up until last year. She was funny and loved to have fun. We did lots of laughing when we all were together. She loved God, her church, her family, and working with the children at school. She was a great cook. So much more to say but Ginger has already said it all in her actions and character. Her steps were truly ordered of the Lord and she took every step with grace and the God kind of faith. Earl, Karen, and all the rest of the family not named, Mama and I love you very much.

My heartfelt condolences to you & your family, Kristin, on your loss. I knew your mom from being in the same business classes with her at Morris Hills HS. We had so many fun times in typing & steno classes for 3 years. We always connected at our high school reunions, the last one being last October. I am so sorry for her passing. She was a great girl.❤

Sue and Jeff, My thoughts and prayers go out to you at this most difficult time. Tommy was a fine man and I know he will be missed by you and the Riegelwood community. Sue, I send you a big hug and my love for a friendship we have shared for over 30 years. May your memories sustain you in the days and weeks ahead.

Barb was a dynamic, fun-loving girl at Morris Hills. She could light up a room! Sincere sympathies to her family and many friends,

Mrs. Brannock was a sweet and wonderful lady. She was always so nice to me when I came to their home with Marc during high school. Prayers for your family and please know what a special Mother you had.

I remember when your mom was first moving to Wilmington. You were so happy to have her close by! You all had lots of great times here together and I know you are so grateful for those times! I always saw her out walking a sweet little dog. It is so hard to lose your Mom Kristin and time will help. But time will never erase the memories or the happy times! I’m here if you need anythin!

Mr. C you’re in my prayer as well as your beautiful and devoted family. It was truly a blessing knowing you all.

Dear MaryJoyce and family, I was so sorry to read about George in the paper. I have many memories going back to you two dating out at the airport in the civil air patrol to George sitting over the kitchen table with his pipe studying for advancement at the police department when you lived off Wrightsville Ave. Also when I would visit with Scott and he would come home he would set the siren off for a few seconds to excite a small kid who loved police cars. You all have my deepest sympathy. George was a very kind and good man and you were blessed to have him for a husband and father and grandfather. Sincerely, Betty

My deepest sympathy to you and your family, I hope you are able to find solace during this difficult time. Peace and love to you all.

Could not ask for a better brother n law. worked together and mad a family as a christian family should do. Tommy will be missed. I LOVE YOU brother

Ginger was like family to me. Growing up I always admired her for her beauty and wonderful smile. God blessed me with the Walker family in which I was closer to them than my own family. She was a great mentor to me as I watched her in church serving in many positions. Heaven surely has another angel. I will miss her greatly.

I met Jimmy in the 8th grade. He was in my class and immediately became a friend of mine. He was so easy going and funny. He knew that I liked surfing and told me stories about Hawaii, and how when he was a kid they would bodyboard with McDonald serving trays!? I thought that was so cool. I just saw this so forgive my late entry, but the fact that that gentle kid is still in my mind might make those who truly love and miss him happy. Rest in peace Jimmy.

Thank you Chief for your many years of excellent service and compassion for others. Dear Antley family, my prayers and condolences are going out to you.

Love you Dad, I will miss you. I am happy that you have finished the race, and you are now in a better place. Your son, and “pal”, Dave

My deepest condolences to the family. Growing up at Wrightsville Beach, I understand how much Chief Antley did for the community. He helped to raise all of us kids who grew up on the beach, always making sure that his officers treated all who lived and visited Wrightsville Beach fairly. When I was young, Chief Antley gave me a set of handcuffs. Something I never forgot throughout my career in law enforcement. He will be truly missed by everyone.

JoAnne was a very loving, caring lady. I loved her like a member of my family. To all the family I am truly sorry for your loss. I love you all. Rest in Heaven dear JoAnne.

Aunt Joanne was a wonderful person.She was kind and a sincere person. She will be missed. Alzheimer’s is a horrible disease. It’s a long death,taking away their life plus yours. I will never forget her.

RIP Thank for your faithful service and sacrifice to help other.

Our deepest sympathies and prayers. George will be deeply missed.

Mary, and family. We are so sorry for the loss of the Chief. He was a great man that truly cared for people. We will all miss him. Dal & Diane

Sorry about your mother passing. I remember rabbit hunting with Thomas& Garry

A Great Man, a true Southern Gentleman, a Great Leader and a dear friend has left our earthly presence and was embraced in the arms of God, and now he is smiling down at us. You will be missed by all of us Dear Friend.

Chunky was one in a million, one of a kind...a bright light on any film set, with the best "stories" of his long career. I loved visiting with him and Nini on my rare trips to Wilmington since I left, hanging out with the dogs, great conversations, in their beautiful home and haven near the water. He was loved by everyone who knew him, and he will sorely be missed by all.

I meet Barb at a Cancer survivor meeting. She was such a caring and sweet lady. You will be missed.

What a lovely tribute to your Mom. She is writing the rest of her story through You. Harvey and I are so sorry for your loss and we know your brokenness. She was your best friend and you were so fortunate to be able to have her with you. Always look for your signs and connections and you will find that your Angel Mom is always with you. Kristin, you are in our thoughts and prayers. We will pray for peace and comfort for the days ahead. If you need either of us please let us know. Much love... Brenda

Joyce, Mary, Trisha and Holly, so very sorry for your loss. George was such a great man and had such great support from all of you all during these tough times. Keeping you all in thoughts and prayers!

Such a sweet person that always welcomed you with a smile. You will be missed.

Our heart felt condolences to Chief Antley’s family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. Chief Antley was a man both loved and responded by many. He will always be remembered by those of us that knew him as “Chief”.

When Maureen was a Public Health Nurse in Union I was the City Health Officer. And that was many years ago. Our communication through the years was at Christmas but now I know why I never received a card in 2019. She was a fabulous nurse and her departure to NC was a loss to our Public Health Nursing Service. I can still recall her sitting at the nurses' lunch table with her kind smile. God Bless You Maureen and your family too.

Such a sweet

I only knew Barbara a couple of years but when I met her there was an instant connection. She had a great spirit. We loved sharing stories and laughs together. She became family to me in that short amount of time. She was easy to let in to your inner circle. I’m heartbroken. She will be greatly missed.

Tammy to you and all the family. I’m so deeply sadden by this! I’m sending prayers to all of you! Sheila is a wonderful person inside and out! She will be greatly missed by all! We had some really good times many many years ago, And I will always cherish them! Rest In Peace my sweet dear friend!

Sending our condolences to Jeff and his family. We are so sorry.

Mr. C will be dearly missed and my thoughts and prayers are with the Canaday family. Love y'all very much!!

Our deepest condolences to Carole, Andrew and Catherine for the loss of Ernie. May the Lord bless you and give you peace during these sad times.

Tammy, I am sorry for your loss. I'm thinking of you and your family.

May God hold you all close as you mourn the loss of your loved one. Ms. Joy was so sweet! Her smile lit up the whole room and her laugh was infectious. She loved her family. I always enjoyed talking to her whenever our paths would cross which was mostly at Shandela’s house. May your memories sustain you and her legacy live on inside of each of you until you meet her again in Heaven! Rest easy Sweet Joy, job well done! Love and prayers to everyone of you! Gene & Kim Beck

We send our deepest sympathy to your family our mom would. Tell many stories of mrs joy and showed us PIC rip mrs joy

Beth, I'm heartbroken for you and your family at the news of this tragic loss. I will be praying for you all! Hugs and Love..

My sister JoAnne was the most beautiful soul you could ever meet. She always took care of her family and made sure we had what was necessary. She was always bringing me clothes for school and paying me to clean her house so I would have spending money. She taught me a lot through the years but the best thing she did was love me with all her heart. She will always be on my mind and in my heart. Loving her was an easy thing to do.

Tammy, I am so sorry. Hoping that you can find love and peace in your memories of your precious sister.

Dr.office, Many laughs and good times . Will miss you dearly my sweet friend ❤️❤️

This world has lost a bright light. I started reading Mike's columns after I discovered Townhall.com. He made me laugh, think, and applaud! I wish I could have taken one of his classes, and told him so when I discovered he was on Twitter. I am so deeply saddened by his death. Weeping with those who weep.

Some of my greatest childhood memories were with you. We roller skated in your garage, rode our bikes around the block, and listened to your “Grease” album. We marched in the AzaleaParade as Ogdenettes and played opposing teams in softball. Our friendship lasted through all of years. You will always be in my heart One of our last messages you responded with Hey best friend. You were definitely a best friend and I will always cherish our friendship. I will see you again one day my sweet friend.

This was a sweet lady who will be missed by many. She was a very loving mom grandma and friend to all of us and will be greatly missed

Joy, always treated me like family even before we became family. She was always so happy to see me and her whole face would light up. She was such a sweet heart. You will be deeply missed.

Joy was my second Momma. She loved me like a daughter and I loved her like a daughter. She was truly a blessing to me family. I know God allows us to borrow his ANGELS I'm so glad he let me borrow Joy. Me and my family will miss her dearly. There is no doubt she's up there with the Lord. To Jenda and the family we love all of you. Love Rebecca (Becky)

My heart breaks for all of you. Ms Joy was one of the sweetest ladies me and my grandma have ever met. My daddy loved talking to her and the whole family. She and the whole family were more than just friends. Ms Joy and her and family would do anything for anyone anytime no questions asked. I know she is pain free now and will be greatly missed. There are a lifetime of memories of her to cherish and treasure. She will be forever in your heart. We are praying for y'all.

My thoughts and prayers are with all of cousin Joy's family. Many fond memories of family get-togethers long ago and seeing her from time to time in Coats. She always had a smile and a hug to give!

Vickie, I'm so sorry fir your loss. My heart, love, thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family. Just know I am here for you if you ever feel a need to talk. Love You.

Laughing with Chunky, listening to his many movie stories, and giving each other big hugs each time we met.

When you say the name "Chunky" in Wilmington, you are immediately recognized as a friend to all. He was beyond unique and naturally befriended everyone he spoke with. He was infectious in his laughter, his hard work, and his appreciation of you. Like everyone who met him, I quickly came to love this man for he was a man for all ages. The hole he leaves us will heal, but man-o-man is it a huge hole! Prayers to his large family, which includes pretty much everyone. But most of all, his lovely wife, NiNi, whom enhanced his life. The world is less good today...we love and miss you, Chunky! May you find peace and comfort, and if it's not too much to ask, can you offer your services to The Big Guy and redirect some lighting down here? It's damn hot....

Shandela my deepest sympathy to you at the loss of your mama! Mamas always hold such a deep place in our hearts and she sounded like a beautiful sweet woman from the way you spoke of her. My heart will be with you!

So sorry to hear of Chunky's passing. He was just a wonderful great guy, full of amazing stories and filled with immense kindness and compassion. Praying for comfort for all who knew Chunky, Nini, his family and close friends.

Sorry for your loss George was one of the best. My prayers are with you may God be with all.

We were blessed to know and love Mrs. Malpass during our years at Cornerstone. My sympathies to all the family. May our blessed LORD hold you all in His loving, caring arms as you journey through grief. Ardrue McMahan Cherryville, NC

"Chief" will never be forgotten. He was such a nice person walking his Jack Russells around our Brandywine neighborhood. He always had a nice greeting for everyone. He will be missed. My heartfelt condolences go out to his family.

We may want to extend our deepest sympathy during this time, God Bless you all during this difficult time. She was a Precious Lady and dear to all who knew her. Wayne Parrish was her 1st cousin.

Fr the moment we met , she was so kind always with her beautiful smile and warm hugs , mama Lee always welcomed me and my family , I'm sorry for your lost love you all so much

A sweet, beautiful, woman. She will be missed.

Joy was always so sweet and I thought so pretty! We always went to see Joy, Donna,Keith and Billy at Uncle Judd and Aunt Willie Mae’s house. I always enjoyed it so much - very special times! I am Howard Parrish’s daughter. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Love

We heard about your loss today. We have so very many memories of our years together at Olivet Baptist Church. God will give you the comfort, peace, and strength you need in the days ahead. We also know that we will see her again. You all are in our thoughts and Prayers. Our Love to each one of you.

Our success in life can be measured by the character of those we’ve loved and raised. If this is universally true, then your life was what I can only hope to achieve. I love your family dearly. They are wonderful people who have positively impacted my life, consistently. Thank you for them, and allowing them to be such a great part of my life. Rest well, I hope to thank you when we meet again.

I only met Ms Joy about 6 years ago.... though I’d known her family forever .... just happened to cross paths and from the 1st day I met her I loved her. She was one of the sweetest souls I was blessed to meet. May she fly high ... no longer in any pain and watch down over her sweet family ❤️❤️❤️❤️

I always considered George my best friend and someone I always looked up to.

I just learned of George's passing tonight,(8/20) and was saddened beyond belief. He and I grew up and were best friends during our youth on Walnut Street in Wilmington. My last get together was at Wrightsville Beach when we had some hot dogs together on Johnny Mercer's Pier and then circumstances took me away for almost 30 years with no contact. My fondest memory is when he was quarantined with measles and I snuck out of the funeral home to go see him thru the screened window. That gave me the measles and damn if I didn't do it again and we had the mumps!. These were poor times in the 40's and early 50's and we used to collect piles of newspapers and sell them by the pound to a fish market at 4th & Red Cross Sts.. He was a good, honest & honorable man who served his Country well and his family always. Danny, Mary, we've lost contact but I think of all of you often. My best to George's wife and children, I am truly sorry for your loss.

Rest well Chief. Thank you for all you did for me and the leadership you gave to so many. A part of America has died.

JoAnne was always able to make me smile when I went to see her. She was selfless and determined. I will miss you but I do know you are with Jesus. Marc , Kim thank you for all you did to help us see her the past couple weeks. Jimmy and I love you all.

I think most people who knew Chunky would agree that he was one of the most upbeat, friendly, enthusiastic, funny and kind human beings you could ever meet. 2020 was lousy enough with the world falling apart as it is, but when I heard that Chunky passed away it made it the saddest. Nini, I wish could be there to comfort you and I wish I had words that could do that.

Friend from the 1970's. Such a true and tender hearted man. May God rest his soul.

She was a wonderful lady and the most wonderful aunt. She was always there for me anytime I needed her. I will miss her greatly but I am thankful that this is not goodbye for I will see her again in heaven. Marc and Kim and all the girls, I love you guys and I am praying for you and I am here for you if you need me.

Praying for this sweet family! Mr C was a very special man, and I’m so blessed to have gotten to work with him and his family!

To the Williams family: "Miss Williams" as we kids called her growing up in the neighborhood, and will surely be missed! She was one sweet lady! I am so very sorry for your loss! I know we haven't seen each other in years but she sure has been thought about, and so has your family. Please know that you each have my sincere condolences and are in my prayers.

Chunky was a very special person and I will miss him dearly! My prayers go out to his family and to his wonderful wife Nini !

The day I met him, I was a green set prop assistant and he swerved up to a group of us in some kind of souped up go-cart they were going to use for a camera mount that day — he wore a bandanna and a cowboy hat and spoke in his wicked cool raspy English accent — I thought he was a rock star! Turns out I was right. Love you, Chunky.

Chunky defined the term ‘one of a kind’, and none of us will ever meet a kinder, more thoughtful and helpful person than he. Quick with a joke and a laugh, quicker still with a positive word or a simple solution, he was class and dignity all the way. A true friend from the moment he met you, Chunky made everyone around him a little bit better. I’m truly better for knowing him and consider him an all time film brother. You will be missed, Chunky, never forgotten. Your influence will live on. Love you, brother. Peace. Matt

Bud and I are truly sorry for your loss. We would like to offer you and your family our deepest and most sincere condolences and may the soul of your love one rest in peace. May God wrap his arms around you and the entire family and give you peace

Condolences to the the family. Thank you for your faithful service. God bless to awesome man.

I have many memories of Chunky. He made location shoots bearable and always found the silver lining in a challenging shot. My prayers for his family and Gypsy Grips.

I will miss my Chief ! He was an inspiration as to how people should live their lives ! He Set the standard above the rest thank you George for your friendship and the amazing gift you shared with us

Due to the distance, there were few times we were able to spend time together but those times were always big celebrations full of happiness. I'm sorry for your loss. She will be lovingly remembered. My prayers will be with you all, cousins, nieces, and nephews.

So sorry for the loss of your mother. Keep the memories close to your heart.

Chief Antley was a fine man-a credit to his country and to our Town of Wrightsville Beach. He was a man of impeccable and manners. I never heard Chief Antley raise his voice, swear, or speak ill of another. I never heard anyone speak ill of him. Our sincere condolences go to the Antley Family. We will honor our memories of Chief Antley even as we shall miss his presence among us.

Mary Joyce,I am so sorry for your loss.Please know that you and your girls are in my thoughts and prayers.

Trisha, I’m so sorry for your family’s loss. Praying for you all.

Too many memories of her to pick one. Karen, Lori, and I were good friends since childhood. We lived across the street from each other. She's with Don so I know she's happy.

Judy, I am so very sorry for your loss. I always enjoyed talking with Dave next door. He had the biggest smile and a great sense of humor. I know he is now in heaven reunited with family and his best pet companion. You are in my prayers.

We will miss this special guy! So grateful for the wonderful memories.

Rest in Peace Chief Antley. May GOD be with you and your family. You taught me to lead by example which has stuck with me forever. We will meet again.

We were all saddened by Chunky's passing. He had a special place in the Ex Pats community here in Wilmington. He was one of the funniest and pleasant participants in our monthly Curry evenings and an honored guest at my annual birthday parties. The stories, jokes and experiences that he had, would keep anyone interested for hours on end. There will never be another like Chunky. We will all miss you forever Mate.

Nini, Chunky will be remembered so dearly by The Literacy Council staff and volunteers. He was such a sweet and caring person and will be sorely missed by many. My heart goes out to you, especially, and certainly to the rest of his many family members.

A very caring and sweet mother of my best friend growing up . I have had the privilege of knowing for 45 years. May you rest in peace and God cradle his arms around you.

I miss you dear old friend. We've known each other for all our lives and you have taken part of me with you and that's ok. So save a place for me until we meet again. Love always, Jo

❣️❣️❣️❣️ Love you grandma

Grandma , I LOVED YOU SO MUCH ! You were an amazing woman, grandmother, && friend . !!! I’m so completely broken first my mother , you’re only daughter , now you ! You were all I had left of my mommy ! This is not how our life was supposed to go ! I just don’t understand & I don’t believe I ever will until I make it to heaven to get there to be with you and moma and grandpa ! I want answers ! I want to know why I’ve been left on this earth to live life without the 3 main people besides my father that I loved and that I know loved me no matter what , that didn’t judge me & disown me for my mistakes & faults . You and momma and grandpa loved me so much unconditionally and now I’m left here ALL ALONE , with no one to truly love me like I need to be , no one to really show me how to continue to keep going even after I fall short of what I’m capable of . What hurts the most is now I know I have no family to spend holidays with , you were the backbone to the this family !! Our holidays will never be the same . I’ll be celebrating my own now in memory of you and moma and grandpa ! The family I had and loved so much are gone but your memory lives on ! Grandma I loved you so much ! You were amazing ! I MISS AND YOU LOVE YOU ! I know you were so glad to see your daughter , my momma ! I could only imagine the smile on y’all a face when y’all saw each other that faithful day ! God really must needed y’all more than I did , probably to show me just how short this life is and that it’s imperative for me to pick up in yalls footsteps ! I want to be just like y’all ! && love just as hard as y’all did ! REST IN HEAVENLY PEACE GRANDMA ! YOU WERE THE ABSOLUTE BEST ! ❣️❣️❣️

Save the homeless animals from your new place in Heaven, Lin. Send a random laugh when you can. Til I see you again, hug all the family for me. Much love, Cheryl & Family xoxo

I am privileged to have spent many years on and off set with Chunkey. He was a brilliant light that people were just naturally drawn to. To me he was a friend a father and a coworker. He helped guide me through many highs and lows in my life. I love you Nini for keeping Chunkey in our lives after retirement. When he would visit a set it was like The Rolling Stones just arrived. I had the privilege of sharing stories with the newbies on set when they would ask. Who is that guy? That guy is a industry legend. I love you Chunk you’ll be missed but never forgotten OI !!!

The last few years that I knew you were indeed a pleasure. You were such a proud parent, and always spoke so highly of all your family and literally light up when you spoke of them. I know every member of your work family will miss you and I believe you could sell some Hvac in heaven if you wanted to. Bless you and your family, you were a good man

Rachel has been my sister-in-law for over 60 years. We had a wonderful relationship with each other. We were the complete opposite. She was one of the the best. She helped me in a lot of ways. She was a very kind person and did not go for any foolishness. I loved he her a lot. Good-bye my sister and friend, until we meet again. Love Betty.

Chunky was such a unique, special person. He was always present and had such wonderful stories to share. My children loved going to your parties when they were young and looking at his tattoo sleeves and the movie memorabilia in the house! He was also one of Kent's favorite patients. Our hearts broke when we heard the news and we are sending love and prayers to you, NiNi. You two made a great team. This world is a better place because of people like you and Chunky. We love you.

I worked with Dan at ARS. Dan was always there to help everyone and try to answer any question that you may have . You will be missed my friend.

Chunky will be missed by everyone that ever met him. He was a character and a remarkable individual.

Chucky will be missed by everyone who ever met him. He was a character and a remarkable individual.

What a light in this world! An unforgettable man and a lovely human being. My thoughts and prayers are with Nini, his family and his friends.

My heartfelt sympathy to you Nini, to his family and the Gypsy Grips. I have fond memories of the time I got to spend with Chunky. So grateful that he came into my life. His legacy is monumental and will live on! Dear Nini, I hope you find comfort in all the memories you and Chunky shared. What a life well lived! Peace and love to you.

Thomas,Grady,Arthur,Gerry and Randy, Marvin and I were so sorry to hear of Aunt Rachel's passing . She was a very sweet lady and she will be missed, WE have you all in our prayers and in our hearts !!!

I didnt know Chunky too long, but he always stopped to say hello when he saw me. I will miss him around the neighborhood. We wish you the best NINI.

‘ The Cockney Rebel’ ‘The West London immigrant’ ‘The Gypsy Grip’ ‘My Dad’ It would be fair to say, my memories are young, and those that I look back at with fondness, are the ones that have taken me from my 40th birthday celebrations to the eve of my 63rd Birthday. I have earlier memories of course, but the recent ones I will cherish. The 15th March 1998, The ship Hotel, Shepperton As i stand with a bottle of beer in my hand, talking to a football colleague, sorry soccer colleague, he starts to look over my shoulder… who’s the guy who has just walked in with the ’pony tail’ and white suit, he looks like an architect, Curly added. Not being able to turn completely I guessed probably, someone from the restaurant next door, looking for a free drink! As I maneuverer, unsteadily, due to the alcohol already consumed, my jaw dropped, as did my beer, the tears started to build, as they always did when he was around, not out of sadness but joy, there he was my Dad. I hadn’t seen him for a number of years at that stage, his filming always keeping him on the move, and obviously relocating to the States, had put distance between us. We hugged and cried a bit and then got talking, …my mate Curly, thought you were an Architect, well said Dad in an overstated cockney accent ‘’ Well, I suppose I am in a strange sort of way, I do build things, design things etc etc’’ I suppose he is an architect. I obviously had to mention the white suit, is that the one you wore to my 21st birthday, by chance, in the same venue…..’ no that was the one I nicked from Roger on Moonraker, I laughed and guessed he probably did, and did Mr Moore not want it back….. again in that lovely cockney accent .. didn’t tell him I had it cocker’ That was the start of several meetings over the next, however many years I next saw him at Nini and Dad’s wedding, what an occasion. And over the next year I think we met on three occasions in three different countries, England, USA and at their apartment in France. We had fun, I listened to his stories, I don’t think he listened to many of mine, he didn’t give me a chance to get any in. I met his friends, saw his world, and enjoyed his company. My Son, Liam idolised him and and visited Wilmington, and France on many occasions. Alexandra being much younger did not get to see him as much as she would have liked, she is always telling her friends about him and the films he worked on. I loved visited Dad and Nini and wish I had travelled over more often. I have been amazed but not surprised by some of the tributes I have read from his friends and colleagues from both sides of the pond. Dad, I wish we had, had more time together, I am heart broken, your memory with live on with my Family, Heather, Liam and Alex, for ever, I will pass on the stories. I’m not going to say rest in Peace, because I know wherever you are, you won’t be sitting still, you will be painting a gate, repairing a fence, or helping someone in a difficult time. Love you always, have a safe journey. Derek ‘ The Cockney Rebel’ ‘The West London immigrant’ ‘The Gypsy Grip’ ‘My Dad’ It would be fair to say, my memories are young, and those that I look back at with fondness, are the ones that have taken me from my 40th birthday celebrations to the eve of my 63rd Birthday. I have earlier memories of course, but the recent ones I will cherish. The 15th March 1998, The ship Hotel, Shepperton As i stand with a bottle of beer in my hand, talking to a football colleague, sorry soccer colleague, he starts to look over my shoulder… who’s the guy who has just walked in with the ’pony tail’ and white suit, he looks like an architect, Curly added. Not being able to turn completely I guessed probably, someone from the restaurant next door, looking for a free drink! As I maneuverer, unsteadily, due to the alcohol already consumed, my jaw dropped, as did my beer, the tears started to build, as they always did when he was around, not out of sadness but joy, there he was my Dad. I hadn’t seen him for a number of years at that stage, his filming always keeping him on the move, and obviously relocating to the States, had put distance between us. We hugged and cried a bit and then got talking, …my mate Curly, thought you were an Architect, well said Dad in an overstated cockney accent ‘’ Well, I suppose I am in a strange sort of way, I do build things, design things etc etc’’ I suppose he is an architect. I obviously had to mention the white suit, is that the one you wore to my 21st birthday, by chance, in the same venue…..’ no that was the one I nicked from Roger on Moonraker, I laughed and guessed he probably did, and did Mr Moore not want it back….. again in that lovely cockney accent .. didn’t tell him I had it cocker’ That was the start of several meetings over the next, however many years I next saw him at Nini and Dad’s wedding, what an occasion. And over the next year I think we met on three occasions in three different countries, England, USA and at their apartment in France. We had fun, I listened to his stories, I don’t think he listened to many of mine, he didn’t give me a chance to get any in. I met his friends, saw his world, and enjoyed his company. My Son, Liam idolised him and and visited Wilmington, and France on many occasions. Alexandra being much younger did not get to see him as much as she would have liked, she is always telling her friends about him and the films he worked on. I loved visited Dad and Nini and wish I had travelled over more often. I have been amazed but not surprised by some of the tributes I have read from his friends and colleagues from both sides of the pond. Dad, I wish we had, had more time together, I am heart broken, your memory with live on with my Family, Heather, Liam and Alex, for ever, I will pass on the stories. I’m not going to say rest in Peace, because I know wherever you are, you won’t be sitting still, you will be painting a gate, repairing a fence, or helping someone in a difficult time. Love you always, have a safe journey. Derek

Rest in peace Chunky you were so much to so many you’re in our hearts you’re in our thoughts and I’m certain there’s not a show that goes by that your name and stories reverberate on rest in peace friend ...

Dan it was always a pleasure when you would come in for a hair cut. Your positivity was admired.You will most certainly be missed.

My husband had the privilege of working with Chunky many times in Wilmington he was a leader and a friend. He will be sorely missed by all who knew him.

He was Pastor Mike to us as we were in Ridgecrest when DCC first started in the old KMart building and for 10 years! Pastor Mike was key in guiding my husband to the Lord! He was always so loving and caring! Although our paths never got to meet again as we moved to Arizona, he and his family will always have a Special place in our hearts! Until we see you again-Rest in God’s loving arms!

We were so sorry to hear of Chunky’s passing, he was a dear friend and fun neighbor! We loved chatting it up with him on the dock! He always had a smile and a sweet comment! Prayers to his family!

We loved Mike. he helped us with so many things when he was in Ridgecrest ie: loving and helping my daughter Ginny(whom has passed on and hope she and Mike are celebrating together), he also prayed for my back ,which was healed. Our loveand prayers to all his family and friends.

We had the pleasure of working with Chunky and his wife, NiNi for years. Our hearts are heavy to hear the sad news of his passing. We will always remember you in the most positive and optimistic light, Chunky! NiNi, we wish you comfort and send our deepest condolences. Keep shining!

My heart goes out to Nini. I feel lucky to call Chunky a friend. I know he would want us to tell stories and laugh at all the fun we all had.He touched everyone he met and made all of our lives richer for having known him. He will be greatly missed in our lives and treasured in our memories.

What a privilege knowing Chunky! I worked with him for many years on the Literacy Council (Wilmington, NC) annual auction for which he was a tireless worker and his wonderful wife, Nini, a phenomenal leader. Chunky was warm, loving, authentic, and generous of spirit. He and Nini have always opened their home and their hearts to their friends and their community. Chunky, you will be remembered well and missed greatly! Who will now kiss me on the cheek in greeting?

Will always remember my first meeting with him, was immediately at ease and drawn to him straight away. Must have been the cowboy boots that did it! Had a wonderful few days with him and Nini in France, will always remember that special time. RIP Chunky XXX

If your lucky enough in life you come across someone who just makes your day better everytime you see them, that was Dan. Dan your amazing dry wit and insight that kept me on my toes. Dan was on my team and was so highly thought of by all of us. You will be missed my friend. Keep "charging" and until...

DAN YOU WILL BE MISSED ALL OF US! YOUR KINDNESS & REASSURANCE WAS REALLY APPRECIATED. WE WILL MEET AGAIN IN GLORY. REST IN PEACE.

Million Dollar Dan!! You will be truly missed, you were always positive, full of smiles and willing to help everyone. Always in memory..

Deepest sympathies to the Lewis family from Heidi’s colleagues in Dallas. Though we didn’t have the privilege of knowing him, he was obviously a wonderful person. May he Rest In Peace.

My thoughts and prayers are with the family at this time. It was a couple months ago but I ran into Diane at the bank, same pretty Diane and yes, always with a smile!

We had the privilege of meeting Dr. Mike Adams late last year at a Fearless Faith conference in Texas. He was so inspiring and made a lasting positive impression. His legacy will live on.

RIP my friend

Deepest condolences. I remember Todd as being liked and loved by everyone. A truly good person and family man. You all will be in our thoughts and prayers.

I didn't get to meet Mike but followed him for years and LOVED his columns and books. He is a hero to me. When I saw that he passed away I was shocked and I'm still grieving this great loss. I pray for his family and his fiance that they can experience the comfort of God in Jesus during this time. We all needed Mike in so many ways especially in these days. He will be dearly missed. He was one in a million if not one in 100 million!

Very sad news. Ernie and I worked together for many years at Aspen. He was a key ingredient to our success. Ernie was smart, a very loyal Giants fan and confident in his abilities. Anne and I send along our deepest sympathies to Carol and Andrew. Ernie was one of a kind and we are very sad to receive this news.

Mark was such a sweet man. This hurts my heart. My prayers are with the family. He will be missed.

Valeria gave so much of herself to family and friends. A old friend from Middle Sound Advent Christian, Ellen Singletary

Thinking of you and your family during this difficult time.

Jackie, you and your family are in our hearts and prayers. It is always hard to lose someone you love but so heartbreaking to lose your mother! Hugs to you.

I was so sorry to hear of the passing of Todd. He was such a wonderful high school classmate, popular, cool, and loved by everyone. Praying for comfort during this time.

My deepest sympathy to all of Todd’s family and friends. I was lucky enough to fish a few tournaments with Matt and Todd. But I got to know him more by serving him and Matt lunch on Fridays at my restaurant. I know he’s in a better place eating his “kids meal”.

Goldsboro Cougars will miss you...c/o 93

Dear Lorraine (Perkie} Maryann and I are so sorry to learn of Cliff's passing. We want to get in touch with you so please email me at [email protected] I will forward you Maryann's email at that time. We love you and pray that you are doing ok. God bless you. Gaye Sullivan P,S. Please send me your phone number.

Love ya Andy! We will always be here for Pat!!

Charles was a valued friend, Masonic brother, and mentor to me sin e we met in 1994. He was always there for me, encouraging me through my Doctoral degree. I miss him every day ...

I am so very saddened to hear of your loss. I had the opportunity to meet Allen only a few times when we were younger, but it was always a pleasure. You and your family are in my prayers.

I only recently discovered Mikes existence on Twitter before having the privilege of meeting him at a Re-Open rally in my city(Raleigh). I was literally on the way out as I spotted him. Had to approach and let him know I appreciated his voice and efforts in the interests of freedom as I shook his hand. I lost my son 8 yrs ago so I know the pain of losing very well. My heart hurts for the great loss. If there were anything I could ever do to assist you from here in Raleigh please let me know. I will continue to pray for healing, strength and perseverance for your family. And may the Lord who sees all reside over you, and if justified, crush whomever did this to Mike. In Jesus' name Amen.

To Beth and family: I worked with your mom Helen at Carpenter Library. My deepest sympathies, lifting you all up in prayer.

Dear Helga, I am so sorry to hear about the passing of “Uncle” Charlie. We all have many happy memories of get togethers on Eastwind. Those were fun times. My heart aches for you. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Sending lots of love to you, Heidi and Kristen.

I will always be grateful that Charles reached out to me in order to meet my son and became a mentor to my son, Bruce (This seems to be a boundless life work and motivation to Charles). I can say he meant so much to me! There is nothing that will touch a mother’s heart than by taking interest in their children- Charles Lewis did that for me, with Bruce, with his interest in Bruce’s future career. He entered my life when I greatly missed Bruce’s father’s presence -in our family- and especially with Bruce. In walks Charles Lewis, a man motivated to inspire youth! A interested and caring man with direct experience and positive input in my son’s future with an understanding of what his future is and could be. Charles could help in a way I never could, in a realm I knew nothing about, the Maritime industry. It makes me sad to know I am not getting another call from him… and pleased to know he made the best decision in life, by choosing Helga. Thank you Helga for making me aware of Charles passing and continuing his legacy by understanding his impact to me and my son.

Mark was a long time member of our gun club, Coharie Shooting League, in Clinton. He would come and spend the day at the range and Lorenda usually accompanied him and Chris when he was younger. We always enjoyed shooting and competing with each other. He was constantly tinkering with his guns and stocks searching for an advantage to hit 1-2 more targets. His unexpected death reminds me of an unexpected discharge he experienced while shooting which we teased him about. I will miss Mark. My sympathies to Lorenda, Chris and Amanda

My condolence to Mike's finace, brother and surviving family members. I had the privilege of meeting and getting to know Mike after I brought him to the University of New Hampshire to speak back in 2006. We had a "standing room only" event and the campus was buzzing for a week. A small group of us had the opportunity to sit around a table with him and have dinner and share conservative "war" stories. Mike and I stayed in touch from time to time over the years and I was always grateful for his friendship. He was an inspiration to me and many others, and will not be forgotten. Requiescat in Pace - Lauren S (Your VP)

Beth, Kids & Family- My heart is heavy for each of you I have worked with Todd on and off for the past 14 yrs- he was always ready to help me with system issues in the office. God has a great person with him !! Thoughts and Prayers are with each of you ....Janet

The world lost a soldier in the fight for all that is good. Dr. Adams was right - in the end, good will win.

She gave as good as she got. I was privileged to know her the brief time I did, and will miss her.

James, Family and Friends I write this with a heavy heart but I would feel horrible if I missed the opportunity to say something about Gigi. She was many things to many people, but to me she was a cousin, a friend and foremost a wonderful person. Her light shined bright enough to light a room, which it did every time we were together. I will miss her but never forget her. She was a true gem. Love you Gigi.

I miss you and I always had a great time working with you. We had the best conversations on the ramp and you always had an upbeat attitude that was contagious. I know you had a hard life, but you were an amazing friend, mother, and just a good person overall.

Even as a little girl, Joy was full of spunk, energy and charm! Each time I would see her, she would squeal, "You have my name!" She loved her family, especially her sister!

We are so sorry to hear. Praying for you all! Remember we are a phone call sways. Love you all

So very sorry to hear thIs!!! Prayers for all you!!!!

Andy will be missed by his loving family and friends.

a sweet lady

Thank you for taking care of my mother for so long.

Wow. Heard this yesterday and hoped it wasn't true. Todd was my best friend as a child and was my neighbor, teammate, and partner in crime for a lot of the best years of my life. I wish I could have talked to him one more time. Prayers to the family and Ms Sandra I would love to hear from you when you feel like you can reach out.

To Beth and Todd's family, especially his mother, Todd's passing was such a shock that I still cannot believe it is true. Todd was such a nice person and friend of one of my sons from high school. I know his sweet mom from her time as my insurance agent. I am sending lots of prayers for all the family at this very difficult time.

You will be missed Ms Char. I still miss the days when you would talk about your family and grandchildren, I especially loved the stories you told about your younger years. RIP.

Blessing to Dr.Combs family on his passing. I took care of him at Coastal Cove assisted living. My fondest memory of Doc is his love of ice cream.

To Helga and family we have lost a great friend who has moved beyond life. May the good Lord grant you all Peace and Tranquility in the days ahead. We will miss Charley.

My sincere condolences to Helga, family, friends, and Brethren. Brother Charles was a wonderful man and I enjoyed getting to know him a bit over the last 3 years. I trust all the experiences shared provide pezced, comfort, and a smile. Well done Brother Charles. Requiescat en Pace.

"Chaz" was a wonderful colleague at UNCW. His upbeat personality and positive outlook on life was greatly appreciated by those of us who worked with him. His student centered focus and mentoring of undergraduates in the Parks and Recreation major, endeared him to many students, my son among them who said "Doc Lewis" is the best advisor anyone could have.

We will dearly miss our Chaplain and shipmate Charles Lewis, a long time member of the Navy League Wilmington Council # 174. His recitation of grace before our lunch were always things of wonder and feeling. Farewell dear friend.

I consider myself Blessed to have had Charles as a friend and mentor. His was indeed a "larger than life" presence with a constant smile and friendly word of encouragement. I appreciate more than words can convey his kindness to my family. Thank you Helga for sharing this wonderful man and helping him to positively influence so many lives!

Dr. Adams was a hero of freedom of speech in the liberal college system. UNCW should be ashamed at how this brave honorable man was treated. Thank you Dr. Adams for all that you did. You will definitely be missed.

I had the opportunity fora short time to have met Valeria. She never had a distasteful word to say about anyone when I had the opportunity to visit with her. She always had a compliment for me when I walked in the door. Rest In Peace until we meet again.

I heard Mike speak at a local church in Southern California last year. I'm so sorry. He was incredibly passionate, funny and inspirational. A fighter for good. He will be missed and I will never forget him and the legacy he left.

It has been an honor to know such a Great man. We can never forget the incredible love and friendship he has shared with our family. Our sympathy and condolences for the family. The Fragos 7 will honor his memory for many years.

Brother Charles was at my EA examination; I remember I was a nervous wreck...of that night I remember his smile, he was always smiling and welcoming to everyone. I know he is smiling down on all of us. Until we meet again Brother.

So sorry to hear of Ken's passing. He was such a nice person and a wonderful boss. West Milford Vision Center was never the same without him. I am so happy he was able to see Adam get married and have time with his granddaughter. I hope your memories of him bring you comfort.

We went to lunch with him. I went around and gave everyone kisses. He was always so sweet, I miss him.

Today was one of the hardest days I have ever faced. I will always LOVE you. Rest in peace my LOVE.

We've laughed so hard we cried. I'm gonna miss those moments . Steve My good friend you will be missed.

Our deepest condolences on your loss. We will surely miss his presence with you on the porch and sharing his hockey stories with the boys. They loved to hear about them.

I met Linda many years ago when we lived in New York State. Our children were of similar ages so we did lots of things together. I remained friends with her over the years. Lots of fond memories. A special lady who will be missed. Sending condolences to her wonderful family.

Sidney Claire Smith, Girl, I have searched for you for years, and just today ran across your obit. I am so sorry to know that you had been sick. The last time I looked you up in the phone book, I was seeing Jack Andrews and I asked him to call you and ask you to meet us for lunch. Apparently you were not interested, as he did not even mention me.. MEN??? ~ Well, he too has passed away. (back in Sept 2010) I remember we met and used to hang out 10th grade, going to the MilJo, PV Country Club, Wrightsville Beach, and the fun trips we had with your parents going to Mullins, SC to visit your aunts - my favorite was Aunt Pat? the one who lived by herself, but your other Aunt lived next door to Bert Neil Anderson who was my sweetheart for awhile. I loved him to death and always thought of him when I heard the song "Fat Boy" by Billy Stewart, as Neil was overweight but he was my sugar bear at that time. Remember the first time we double-dated, Neil and I were in the back seat, and I grabbed a Bible and started reading it to him, rather than worry about him trying to kiss me.. LOL! Oh, and the the trips we made to Myrtle Beach and Little River, SC.. Fun times for sure.. I remember Carole McKeithan and I both spending the night with you (at your parents' house) and we had a blast. Seems like we stayed up all night.... Do you remember us walking over to the Cardinal Lanes and bowling almost all night? That was fun, except I would not shut up and let you sleep.. Sorry about that. ;) Love you and miss you girlie God's blessings for you always

I had the privilege of knowing Charlie and I will miss him dearly. For me he was the father that I never had and he was always there if I needed help as well he was there and ready to help anyone who needed him. His words were " Is tough getting old" but now he will live forever. I miss you already!

Keeping all of you in our thoughts and prayers. I love you all.

Our deepest sympathy to Carole and Andrew on the passing of our dear friend Ernie. We shared many good times over so many years of friendship. Ernie will remain in our hearts always. Our love to his family at this most difficult time. We are sharing your sorrow.

It has been a special pleasure to have and enjoyed your friendship for over 65 years as a classmate, shipmate, fellow naval officer and brother mason. It all started in the Bronx at Ft. Schuyler and over the years so many great memories and experiences. God Bless Brother Charles. Enjoy an eternity of Fair winds and Following seas. Dorsey and Annie

My daughter Linda Joy Susie was named after my mother Linda. Joy was born shortly after my mother passed away. Joy and my mother share the same spirt, vibrant personality and a work ethic to be admired. They also shared a cancer diagnosis and the trials and tribulation that accompany it. What I will remember most was Joy’s sense of humor, smile and laugh. I want to thank anyone who ever encouraged or supported Joy. My heart breaks for the people who will miss her most, her sister Megan and Tonia, her brothers Sam Steven and Justin and James, her best friend Brandon and her son Alister. Her last message to me was “I love you too! I am trying Dad. It’s hard, but I am trying.” I believe you Joy. I believe you did the very best you could. I accepted Joy for who she is. I only wish more people could have done the same. She was not perfect, but I believe in my heart she did the very best she could for her son Alister. This is the second time my daughter has been taken from me. The first, I was able to fight and get her back. Unfortunately no amount of fight will ever bring her back to me now. Joy, I wish you happiness, tranquility and peace. As you’re dancing you way through heaven Boo please find my mom. She will love to met you.

I worked with Ernie at Aspen and I remember his humor, warmth, and him always being available for a chat. He was a wonderful man and I am blessed to have known him. My sincerest sympathies to the family.

light a candle

A kindhearted good man, will be missed dearly. Love you Steve rock on in heaven

Please accept our sincere condolences, from our families to yours. My Mom (Sharon Hafler) has fond memories of growing up with "Buddy" and Bobby, back in NJ. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time.

Joy was the most sweetest and kindest person. I was very blessed to be her Aunt. She love all animals and love her son very much. She was hard working and loved to be with friends and family. We love you and miss you very much! One day I’ll see you again but for now I will always keep you in my heart. You are our beautiful angel!

My heart hurts to hear of MeMaws passing. I always took her food when I took Ms.Louise food at N.H.House. Sending out prayers to her family.Such a Great Woman we have lost. R.I.P. My Friend gone but Never Forgotten

Lorenda i am sorry for your loss Mr.Mark he was so sweet Man at church I go Miss him very much

Your smile and the ability to reach out to those around you made you special. As your neighbor I considered you a friend. Our family was heart broken to hear of Charrise’s passing. Your family will be in our thoughts and prayers.

The times we had with you here were precious. Every thanksgiving and Christmas gathering was one more year of getting to know an amazing and loving person like you. The Fourth of July was the last time I saw you, but I know one day I’ll see you again in heaven. You finally get the rest you deserve. You did a lot for us down here. All we would like from you now is to watch over us. I love you a lot grandma and thank you again for all the amazing times we had.

Your never ending love for your friends and family will forever be cherished. Until we meet again.... ♥️

Best Grandma in the world. Always cheerful and kind to everyone. Always made holidays feel warm and extra special at her home made the best food. Holidays will not be the same without her. She will truly be missed and was loved deeply by her family and friends. I love you and we will see each other again in heaven someday, I know that’s where you are because you were an angel here on earth.

Carol was a caring, kind and generous friend. She was also a worrier..always worried about her boys, her family, her friends, but that was just another way Carol showed her great love. She was always thinking of how she could serve and never hesitated to offer a helping hand. She was a blessing & joy to me and so many others and I will truly miss my dear friend. Rest in peace with Jesus dear one.

Great memories of playing music Alan. I will miss him greatly. I wish I knew he was back in NC so we could have caught up. Great guy. Great lead guitarist.

Brother Lewis, it was a pleasure and Honor knowing you. I know you entered the perfect light. You will be missed. May GOD bless your Family.

I will always remember Sitting in Lodge with Brother Lewis.

I worked with Mark at GE for many years. I appreciate all his help making jet engine parts. He was a good machinist and was always willing to help solve manufacturing issues. He will be missed

I had the privilege of working closely with Ernie for many years at Aspen Publishers. I always admired his attention to detail in everything we worked on. Those were some of Aspen's most successful years as a result of Ernie's contributions. Ernie was a great man, admired by many. My wife Leslie and I send our deepest sympathies to his lovely wife Carol and his son Andrew.

So sorry to hear of Mark’s passing. Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers.
