Ruth Much Love and Prayers for You and Yours ❤️

My Deepest Condolences, Prayers and Love to the Moore Family Mr. Jack will surely be missed

So sorry to hear of Lynda's passing. We were cheerleaders together at Topsail. She helped plan our class reunion and it was great to talk about school and get on the dance floor like we did at the community center in our teens. We will be together again.

One of the most loving and kind people that I was fortunate enough to call family.

Lynda and I went to school together at Topsail. I am so very sorry to hear of her passing. Prayers for all of her family during this time. Fly high Lynda

I will forever have in my memory your smile, your laugh and your beautiful eyes. You were a good person to all and worked hard. We will meet again someday and it will be glorious with no one stopping us from being together. My baby sister.

My heart breaks for Danielle, Josh and rest of family. She was a beautiful, kind person. I long to see her again when suffering and pain are no more. Revelation 21:3,4

We are so sorry for your loss. I will cherish the wonderful memories I have of her.

I went to school with Lynda.. such a beautiful soul.. much love to her family.. so sorry to hear this news❤❤

Michelle

Lynda and I went to school together. I will always remember her sweet smile. I am deeply sorry and send prayers to Robert and the family.

I am so sorry that I found where you were too late. I love you my sister and we will meet again in Heaven because I know that is where you will be to greet me.

Kathryn, you gave my mother, Patricia Thompson SO MANY wonderful moments in life. You gave of yourself completely to my mom. You were her third daughter, her fifth sister and quite possibly her best friend. You cooked, you traveled, you laughed and played like the silliest of women. You may never know this but you gave her life renewed. She cherished you beyond words; I only wish I could thank you for these gifts to her soul to your sweet cherubic face. All my love to you in the next realm dearest Kathryn. You're a real angel now...

We loved you in life, Kathryn and we mourn your transition, but know your light will shine eternally. With love from the Ahern family.

Ann, Bill and I are so very sorry to hear of Gibbs passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

A beautiful life cut short much too soon. My sympathy to her family, my dear friends.

My heart goes out to the family. Kathy was such a bright and sparkling light, very giving, and one of the most even-tempered people I have ever met, which is saying a lot coming from the community of theater.... I enjoyed trading comments with her when we worked at the Renaissance Festival, and the patrons were always drawn to her sweet face....

I will always remember your bright smile and bubbly personality.

Thank you for the laughs, the shows, the joy you provided us on and offstage. I’m fairly certain you lied about your age, so if ever we meet again I plan to give you crap about that. Until then, Rest in Peace. Xoxoxo

This journey of what we know as “life” has it’s trials, triumphs, victories and defeats. It’s pedestrian, spectacular, mundane, and unforgettable days... weeks... years. Time is a construct we use to quantify these mercurial shifts in our experience. Every once in a while, if we are truly open and present, we encounter a being, a soul, a spirit that transcends All the limitations of what we think confines or limits us. A presence that, purely by it’s existence, opens the recesses that we were unaware we possessed. A light that relentlessly finds a way to illuminate a path to joy, to understanding, to kindness, to unimagined treasures of just the simplest of things. I feel honored to have experienced, known, and worked with one of these rarest of spirits. My dear dear Kathryn... I am eternally grateful for the light & life you unconditionally shared with me. I am forever inspired and empowered by the example of your fearless approach to this crazy trip we’re on. I know you have peace now that the journey has run it’s course. I will miss you, but will carry you in my heart until I cross that line. Just save me a glass of wine when I show up... Could you? Godspeed Friend ❤️

I moved into the cottage 15 yards from Kathryn's cottage 6 years ago, and we were friends almost instantly. She was like that. Over the years for each other we were friends, dinner buddies, confidents, and pals. She would cheer me up when I was down, and vice versa. I am much older and was looking forward to having this dear person in my life...for the rest of my life. I miss her very much. I can understand the loss her family and her friends who knew her longer and better than I.

Kathy had the most sparkling, uplifting personality I have ever had the pleasure to have met. It seems like I'm in some obsurd dream having to saying goodbye. This is so unreal and difficult. I hope that "better place" we've always heard of, truly does exist, and that you are smiling down on us right now with that amazing smile of yours. I also hope we will see each other again someday. But in the meantime...know that the world is a bit darker with you no longer in it. That you have held a very special place in my heart since the day we met. And that I love you very much. Peaceful travels my friend. David

I remember parking in front of BCT to deliver props. She was sitting on the front steps with her brand new puppy and laughing like a little schoolgirl every time it wiggled. She had the best laugh, the kind that was infectious.

Ms KC, as I called her. So fortunate to have known her for some 24 years, and was just at Hedy Popson’s wedding laughing n having a few libations. She walked into my life when she joined my organization, The Actors’ Network and I was instantly taken with her. I don’t think I ever saw her ...not smiling. She just always lit up the room. I’m so extraordinarily sorry for you loss, She will be deeply missed.

We’re going to miss you at family reunions, but you beat us to the best place! Godspeed KC!♥️

Mary, I'm sorry I didn't realize Eddie had passed away. Our heart and prayers are with you, Rhonda, Wanda and Sandy.Your dad

Ken was a childhood friend.Although he was younger, later in life we talked about the Faith and shared a book called The Vision. I will miss Ken but I know I will see him again in Glory. For now I still see his broad happy smile; He is at home with his Lord.

Dear Aunt Jean...I will miss you and will keep you in my prayers. Patty

Kathryn was probably the most positive, fun, uplifting, and inspiring person I have ever known. And she was not only a generous, kind, and giving person, she was also EXTREMELY talented. Her generosity carried to her work on stage, and she always BROUGHT so much to her work. Having had the pleasure of being her scene partner on more than one occasion I can only say that I wish every actor was half a giving as she was. I called her "cartoon," because she made me laugh, and she made me happy. Every single moment I ever spent with her (over the last twenty five years) will he carried as a precious, cherished memory. I will miss her. I will try to be more like her.

Over the many years we’ve been friends there was one thing that always stood out — your amazing love and devotion for each other ! May God comfort w all all now and in the days ahead— we always felt like Heather was our second daughter!! We love you all

Our condolence to the entire Porter family. Mike will be missed by many that knew him. He is resting in the arms of our Lord in internal peace. Rejoice in his memory and may he always be in your heart.

Tommy and I send our love and sympathy to you and your family. So very sorry for your loss.

Alice, I will always remember the times of discussion with you and Ken in small sermon based group. He had such a sense of spirituality.. His being called home suddenly leaves us hurt and empty, but we must remember that Ken is now happy in his new home and within God’s loving arms. May he Rest In Peace.

Ann and Family, so sorry for your loss. May your wonderful memories always be a blessing. Most sincerely, Carolyn and Rob

So very sorry for your loss.Sandy spoke lovingly of her brother, Mike. Our prayers , love, and thoughts go out to all the family. God be with you.

I knew Kathryn from Athens High School in Troy, MI. I used to talk with her during lunch and she was really friendly and a nice girl. The last time I saw her was during my senior year in high school. My condolences goes out to The Cherasaro Family. May she rest eternity and God Bless!

I was sorry to learn of Kathryn's passing. Kathryn was always delightful and ready to share God's Word whenever our paths would cross at the hospital. She will be missed.

We are saddened by Ken’s passing. When the Lord calls our loved ones home, he leaves a gift of memories in exchange. Our deepest sympathies and prayers to you Alice, and the family.

So sad to hear of Bryan's passing. Decided to google him today and, sadly, found his obit. I went to Cape Fear Tech with him. A bigger character you will never find....but, truly, had a heart of gold. RIP, buddy...

Ann. I am so saddened to hear of Gibb’s death. Please know you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. I wish I could hug you!!! Much love. Jodie

my husband Emil and I met Pete through Kiwanis. He interviewed us prior to being approved for membership. He was honest, forthright and it was so obvious to us he was a proud American. Whenever we asked him how he was feeling or how his latest travels were he always said "Outstanding", Pete Erbe, an outstanding man, a life well live a rest well earned. our deepest condolences to his many friends and family.

July 5th I opened my favorite Bible to read the the first page, presented to, Debbie Deiner by John Ennis. He wrote "Proverbs 3 5-6, January 26, 1990. I believe he was a born again Christian around that date. I followed the same year. I will always treasure this Bible. I leave this scripture for you, Revelation 3 verse 12. Go in Peace and Love Debbie

Miss you Uncle Edddie .love you pike . Will always remember old races at dirt tracks and how much you loved cars ,fishing will never forget the time .I got to hold checkered flag in car on victory lap at Leland dirt track .And me you and Dad went to my first Bristol motor speedway race together. ❤

R.I.P Eddie; done but not forgotten. The first time I met you, you was working on something in your backyard (way before I had Katelyn). Best wishes to the family. I will continue to pray for you all.

Have known Mike for a long time and was a good man in every way. My prayers go out to the family during this difficult time.

Kathi, I have many fond memories of your Dad putting up with all of the shenanigans from us in college. My deepest sympathies for your loss. Sending you love and prayers. After losing my father, I realized they will always be with you and you will feel and see his presence when it’s needed .Love you, Barry

Jeff and I visited Pat and Betty in January 2020, and as it turned out it was our last visit with Pat. But, as always he was a dapper gentleman. Welcoming with smiles and hugs. After forty years of sharing life’s ups and downs, this special couple’s love had grown exponentially. They brought out the best in each other. A wonderful bond of understanding and respecting the needs of one another. Pat was a wonderful stepfather, excellent chef, and loved his Elks Lodge. He was loved and respected by all and we will miss him greatly.

We have so many fond memories of Mike. I was blessed to marry into the Porter family and Mike was so welcoming. Will misd you Mike. I am so sorry for the family but he showed great strength and faith in God.

So many wonderful sunny summer days we spent at your grandma T's Sea Cliff house. I always looked forward to Memorial day knowing soon Paul and you and Susan would follow. I will miss your phone calls to your brother Paul. May you be walking and talking with our Lord. Thanks for shining your light so brightly in this world.

John Ennis

We will miss you Uncle Eddie.

You were a great man and friend Eddie..RIP brother

Ill.always love you daddy.

My memories of Gigi will remain with me until the end. She was a great person and a great cousin. Her Richardson sense of humor was a bit quieter than other family members but she was a Richardson all the way. See you on the other side Gigi.

We Love y'all!!

Your dad was an incredible man. I am so glad I had the opportunity to know him a good portion of my life. He was such a down to earth person who I could talk to about merely anything with no judgment. He helped me in some of my hardest times of my life, encouraged me and believed in me from day one. He’s taught me so much with his excellent craftsmanship. He was a huge help rehabbing our house, and I have that to be an everlasting memory of him. Our house would be in total chaos if it wasn’t for his insane knowledge and guidance through it all. I have so many good memories of him, and as I continue refinishing furniture, I will try to be as half as good as he was with the amount of skill he held. He would talk about you girls a lot and how much he loved and cared for you all. I hope that you know that he had so much love for all three of you and his grandkids. I could go on and on about what an incredible man he was, but I’ll leave it at this. I hope that you and your family can find comfort during this difficult time. I loved him like a second father, and I can’t imagine the pain you three are feeling. Prayers to you while you heal.

Oh daddy We miss you so much..it will never be the same without you, but youre here in spirit and our HEARTS.LUV U SO MUCH DADDY. See u n Heaven

You have fulfilled your duties in an exemplary manner. Rest In Peace Soldier.....A job well done.

I met Pete through our membership in the Leland American Legion. Come to find out, Pete and I were both serving the US Army at West Point during the same time but in different capacities. I will remember him as a kind and friendly person. He will be missed by family, friends and acquaintances.

I only knew Pete for a short time as a new member of Kiwanis. It was clear right from the start what a special man he was. I will miss him. My prayers are with you during this trying time.

my husband Emil and First Met Pete through Kiwanis. He was in charge of the membership committee and came to our home to interview us both. He was forthright, a gentleman and his love of country was made loud an clear. Over the years I had the honor to work with Pete in Peer Court at the middle School and ran into him there when we were meeting with our lunch buddies. Whenever asked how he was feeling or how he enjoyed a place he had been he always said “Outstanding”. Pete Erbe an outstanding man, with a life well lived and a rest well earned.

Both my husband Emil and I Met Pete through Kiwanis. He came to our Home as part of the interview process as he was in charge of the membership committee.

Whoever asked him how he was or how he enjoyed the time he spent away he always say “Outstanding” Pete Erbe an outstanding man, a life well lived a rest well earned.

Our sweet cousin Gigi, was the youngest family member of the 4th generation of the Richardson Family. My brother Rocky, and I had many great memories growing up in Pittsburgh. We loved going to Olive and Bill Gambrell home for family gatherings. Gigi, Rocky, and I loved having fun in the swimming pool in the backyard of the Gambrells. There were large cookouts many times of the year at the Gambrells. Gigi was always with my brother and myself having fun, and always laughing. I enjoyed seeing Gigi at the Richardson Family Reunion every two years. Gigi was always smiling. Seven years 6/22 to the day my mother ( Boots) passed on 6/22, Gigi was united with her and the angels. We loved Gigi very much. .

Jo Ruth & Family, We are sadden by your loss. Our thoughts & Prayers are with all of you.. Janice L. Parker & Charles B. Smith

Out heart felt symphonies go out to you Joruth and you family. Mike always was so nice to us and we will miss him as will all who knew him. The church lost a wonderful asset and Heaven got one. May peace come to you in this time of sadness, and joy fill your heart with all the wonderful memories you both shared.. Love Sandy and Joanne

Dear Erbe family, It is with true sadness and surprise that I read this morning of Pete's death. I extend to all of you my sincere and profound condolences. I am a Hotchkiss alumnus and have worked for the School for 20 years. It was during the great Class of 1955's 50th reunion planning and preparations when I worked closely with Pete and got to know his incredible enthusiasm not just for Hotchkiss but for family and life. More recently I spoke with Pete on April 10 when I called simply to "check in" in light of the pandemic to see how he and all of you were doing. He concluded that call by saying "You have made my day," a sentiment that was most mutual. Be well and best wishes, John Reed

I will forever miss your smile and spirit here on earth. I loved you and Alice from day one. I will never forget our first retreat together with SEARCH. You have your reward now, one we all look forward to. Pray for your sweet Alice, she will need all of us to pray for her. I will never forget you my friend. Til we meet again

Sending warmest wishes of condolence to the Erbe family from your friends at The Hotchkiss School. Pete was a tremendous alumnus and a wonderful Chair of our Grandparent programs. We enjoyed his visits to campus greatly, and had great respect and admiration for him. He will be greatly missed and will remain in our hearts forever.

I will remember precious memories of Summers in Sea Cliff with Kenneth, Paul and Susan and the love we shared every day. I know that Jesus will welcome Kenneth with open arms.

From our perspective Ken was a selfless man. He loved his family and he loved his friends. He showed his love by cooking for others. He would entertain all the time. Even when I took ill, he cooked and delivered personally a full course meal to our home. Kind enough to come to my mothers mass. Shared with me how much he missed his mom. Loved his kids, grandkids and beloved Alice. It was a privilege to have known you Ken. I know for sure you will be resting in peace. May God Bless You in Eternity Amen

From the moment we met Ken we were made to feel like family. I have known Alice since I am 10 yrs old so we were already family. When we were together we always had some of the best conversations and of course the best food. What an amazing cook. He was more like a Chef. We sat at your table for so many wonderful meals surrounded by other friends and family and have so many wonderful memories. Your love for your family and friends had no bounds. You will be missed by us all, but your light in this world will shine on. You will live in our hearts forever. Until we meet again, our wonderful friend.

On behalf of the members of The Cape Fear Men's Club, our thoughts and prayers go out to Dana and Pete's extended family. Pete was active in our Club and he will be greatly missed by all who knew him. George "Scotty" Scott, President of The Cape Fear Men's Club

Dear Betty and family, We were sadden to hear of your loss; Pat was a great guy and he will always be aces in our book.

Back in our “younger CHIC CHIC days”, when one spoke of Mike, you also spoke of Glen. They were known as the “ PORTER BROTHERS From Reigelwood”. Both fine, good looking young men, always such gentlemen. Where you saw one, more than likely the other was close by. I don’t think Mike ever met a stranger, always had a smile on his face. Glen, I am so sorry to hear of his passing. My condolences to you and to his family. Praying God gives you all comfort and peace at this time. I know our buddy Jimmy Kelly was rejoicing when Mike stepped over the River Jordon into Heaven.

John was a wonderful person - may he rest in peace. Prayers to his family.

Marty and I so enjoyed the company of this kind, endearing friend, who was always insightful and reflective of life. We will miss our conversations, not to say the least, his extraordinary culinary skills! We regret a pandemic kept us from another visit, but will always cherish the ones we did have together. RIP, Ken, with love and honor, from your color purple CP neighbors.

Pete was well loved and respected. He touched the lives of many in so many positive ways. He had a great character and a big heart. Love knows no boundaries. While Pete is no longer physically with us, his sprit is always around. Dana and family, our deepest condolences.

Dear Dana: Tootie and I wish to express our condolences for the passing of our friend and colleague, Pete. He was one of our true pioneers of St. James and worked tirelessly to make the world and St. James a better place. God Bless! Gary & Tootie Tagtmeyer

Pete was always so much fun in our Aerobics class at the Brunswick Center! We would be struggling with the weights, and then we would look at the back row and there would be Pete, calmly lifting a far heavier weight than all the rest of us! He was a fine gentleman and it was an honor to know him.

On behalf of the Cape Fear West Point Society I extend the most heart felt condolences for the passing of our friend and mentor Pete. Many of us, now long retired had the opportunity to be among his students. In our later lives we enjoyed many gatherings with Pete and Dana celebrating our common bond the that institution. Rest In Peace Pete.

Rip Randy we had so much fun as kids my mom Marion did baby sitting for Uncle JP and Elsie! Was sorry to hear of his passing! I hope your family can find peace at this difficult time! Your cousin Annie

Ken, I was always remember us celebrating our January birthdays together. You were a man of great faith in my prayers are for our heavenly father to embrace you as you enter into his kingdom.

Ken, I will always remember the celebration of our January birthdays and of course all of the SEARCH weekends we did together. You were a man of great faith and my prayers are with you and for Our Heavenly Father to embrace you when you enter into his kingdom.

Robin, my sincerest sympathy upon Tim’s passing. He was so friendly, positive and always smiling. He never gave up, always dancing...now with the angels in heaven.

I was sorry to hear of Pete's passing. Pete was a good man. I enjoyed talking with him about his experiences at West Point. Although he was not a graduate, we consider him an honorary member of the Long Gray Line.

I worked with John at SMS in 1975. Stayed overnight in Leland a couple of times. Great sense of humor. I was always impressed with his photography, his equipment, his writing, and his library! Last saw him on a trip to Dry Tortugas in April 2011 with Lou Schiavo. Years of adventures and fun.

Gigi. Just her name makes me smile. Hers was the most authentic friendship I've ever known. I met her at a wine tasting in West Chester, OH in 1998 and we became fast friends. She has such a quick wit, great sense of humor, wisdom from hard experiences in life and a giving heart. But she managed all theses trials with grace and dignity. She was so self sacrificing even to her harm, even when it hurt. I have not met a more kind soul. There are so many memories that I will cherish of her. I thank God for allowing me the opportunity to call her my best friend. Like Jonathan said to David, "You will be missed, because your seat will be empty" 1 Sam 20:18. Gigi, save a seat in heaven next to you because we'll have a lot of catching up to do. Some great memories that are truly Gigi. Cooking was not one of her favorite hobbies, but she didn't want me to be alone for Thanksgiving one year when my husband was away for a funeral so she invited me to join her and James for dinner. What a lively conversation over turkey. I had experienced one of her passions: politics. She and James conversed like a tennis match. It was wonderful! I remember going to Pittsburgh and staying at her parents home, sleeping in bunk beds in the room Gigi grew up. We fell asleep giggling like school girls. We woke up with the beautiful smell of breakfast compliments of her dad. This was one morning she spoke before her coffee...;). There was a tree in the back yard that her dad showed me. He had planted it the year Gigi was born. Her love for music was inherent and began with her parents. She educated me in New Orleans that there is a BIG difference in Jazz and Blues and she liked jazz.  But not all jazz, a very specific style.  Who knew there were so many differences? I watched her enjoy music through dancing early in our friendship. Then as the cancer progressed, I watched her enjoy listen to a jazz eyes closed, tapping her fingers to a 3 piece band in Pittsburgh last fall. We nearly closed the place down but she was having such a good time, we didn't want to leave. Her love and kindness was demonstrated when she graciously listened to my grandson play his saxophone for her in an impromptu recital after dinner at my son's house. Who wants to listen to a 10 year old play music other than an grandma? Gigi did and she unreservedly praised his "tone". I imagined that she had said those same words many times to James as he practiced. What a gracious lady!!. She had a way to make you feel like the most special person in the world. She was truly a beautiful gift from God. I will miss her greatly.

Its been 5 years tomorrow since you left us but there isn't a day that goes by I don't think of you.. I love you and miss you more than I can express.. I go to your grave as often as I can to put bows, flowers and memorable things but its not as much as I would love to they say " time will ease the pain " but it hasn't let up on my heart of loosing you.. The kids are all doing good we often speak of you and remember the good times we had as kids with you.. I know you are in a better place no more sickness and no more pain or meds.. You are finally at peace ..I LOVE YOU DADDY AND I MISS YOU WITH EACH AND EVERY PASSING DAY.. I know ONE DAY I WILL see YOU AGAIN.. till then "" I LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU DADDY... YOU WILL FOREVER BE IN MY ❤

Katheryn and Charles were very supportive during Scott's first deployment to Germany. The time spent with them was always a fond memory and the exhortation he received from the Trulls has stayed with him for years. During a trying time with Scott's health, Kathryn reached out to me and encouraged me on how to be a supportive wife and to help him the best. I never met Kathryn in person, but when she spoke to me on the phone and sent me messages, it was a lifeline that I needed. Praise God for such a Godly woman to make herself available to me, a stranger. The world is a sadder place without her, but I look forward to meeting her one day and giving her a big hug and thank you.

Kathryn was a true friend, I met her at work many years ago. She taught me many lessons in life, to include forgiveness and trust. She was truly a child of God and shared her love for him with others. A true Angel and now she at home where there is no more pain or sickness. In the arms of Jesus!!!

Katheryn was a wonderful spirit. Quick to smile, a Southern Lady with just the right accent. I first met her in 1982 and in those 38 years I do not recall an unpleasant word ever uttered by or toward her. To know her was to know true grace.

God bless your precious soul Teresa! Every limitation you had here is gone...go enjoy all the things you only dreamed of before. Please visit Beth and your animals with comforting hugs and undeniable signs that you are still with them. Everyone, please raise your glass for this beautiful person that loved animals, gave back to others and made a difference to so many. She will be greatly missed... TO TERESA!!!!

Randy, you will always be missed and loved. I'm sorry it was like this but God must have had a bigger plan for you my brother!! I will always appreciate you for traing me at a young age to make a living. Love you brother...... jamie bell

My dad was a great person. He was loved by just about everyone who knew him. I will miss him always and I will cherish the time I did have with him. Rip Daddy, I love you.

You were one of my best friends...your ungrateful family never let me know of your passing. I searched for you and was heart broken to see this...my heart is aching. Will always remember the fun times we had.

I was very sorry to read of Pete’s passing. He was a delightful man who enjoyed chatting with at the MOAA Luncheons. My sincere condolences to his family.

I graduated from Wilkinsburg HS with Gigi. I remember that she was very sweet and very smart! I am so sorry for your loss.

I graduated from Wilkinsburg high school with Gigi. I remember that she was a very sweet and very smart young lady. I am so sorry for your loss.

Janet and all, please know that our thoughts , love and prayers are with you today. Ray was a wonderful man. His love for you was always apparent , as well as, his caring for his community. He will be missed, remembered, and loved. May God bless you today and always. Melissa, Amie, Whitt, Cody, Keneitha, Bruce, Marlene, and all the Mountain friends and family.

I admired him for keeping his family together. Nine children and none left behind. He and his family will always be in my heart and prayers. R.I.P.

We are saddened to learn of Pete Erbe’s passing. Pete was such a positive, friendly person. We always enjoyed his company at the MOAA luncheons. The membership of SENCLAND MOAA sends its condolences to the family at this difficult time.

I will miss my beautiful friend. Steve has been the best friend I could have ever dreamed of having. He always had my best interest at heart. I loved him with all my heart. Fly with the angels, until we meet again!!

Beyond selfishly sad....my dad passed away tonight, after a valiant fight against 3 different types of cancers!!!! He was so strong and filled with hope until this past Tuesday. He was my step-father but the best father I could ever want. He and my mom were soulmates and he was the example of how a true man should love a women. He spoiled my mom....we would joke he loved her so much he ruined her but that wasn't true. She spoiled/ruined him too....lol The unconditional love, loyalty and respect they both showed one another for over 40 years together taught me, made me grow up and most of all to appreciate the people that true love you!!!!! Pat Mulvey thank you for being my dad and tonight wasn't goodbye; it is see you later. I LOVE YOU!!!!!!! AND GOD KNOWS HOW MISSED YOU ALREADY ARE. I LOVE YOU!!!!!!

Sorry for the missed spelled word. It wouldn't let me go back and correct

I will always remember uncle Steve playing with us when we were younger. He was a true hero. So sorry for your lose.

My deepest condolences to the family.

I’m so sorry to see this. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. Janet, I send you hugs and love. Judy

Rip brother. You will be missed by us all.

One of my all time favorite birding trips was a CBC trip with John in the Rockies. He was an excellent guide and I can't remember ever laughing so much. It was a wonderful week at the end of May. I can't remember how many miles we traveled, but it was a lot. The group was compatible and though we were weary at the end of each day, it was well worth it for the birds we saw and the companionship we shared. It was the only trip I have ever been on where EVERYONE rolled out of the vans for a snake, but couldn't get them out for a group photo. That trip will always be one of my favorite birding memories. John, you will live in my heart forever.

I'm so sorry for your loss, love & prayers to you & your family...

Miss you Kat..sorry for the loss of your dad. I remember you talked so proudly of him. He sounded like an intrestIng and kind person. Hope you and Chris are doing well. Would love to get together soon and catch up.

I thought I would be able to see you one last time but had this dreadful feeling that wasn’t true. You declined faster than expected and even when I left I thought I’d be able to make it there in time. But that’s I’m glad your suffering has came to an end. I wanted to write you letter long ago to let you know that I think have developed so well because of the example you set. I didn’t get to see you one last time, but I’m glad I was able to speak to you one last time and tell you I love you and thank you for everything. Throughout my life you were the one man I had the outmost respect for. You got me into superhero movies when we saw the very first x-men movie together when I would come every summer to visit. After that, you always took me to see the new superhero movies every summer and those were my favorite times. You were overall a very quiet man but those times were quality and I thoroughly enjoyed them. After I enlisted we bonded more because we were able to relate more to each other. You were the male role model that I thrived to be. You were very successful and took care of my mother and grandmother, and I could always just see how enthralled and in love with you my grandmother was. As I grew older I learned about the depth of your taste in music...especially Pink Floyd, which I found to be another mystery to the dynamic of your personality. Through my eyes you took care of your family, treated everyone with respect, and at your core just a good person. I really wish you could’ve came to my graduation at USF but I know I made you proud. Just knowing you I kind of picked up on your work ethics or what I thought it was and incorporated it into mine. From our very last conversation, I promise you I will not stop my pursuit and will stop at nothing short of greatness. I appreciate you setting example of how to work hard and take care of your family. I never felt any judgement from you or Grandma and always felt safe in that regard. I appreciate that. I love you Grandfather, and I hope I could make you as proud of me as I am proud of you being my Grandfather. RIP Pat Mulvey.

Robin, and Family, I am so sorry to hear about Tim, I remember what a wonderful smile he had and easy exuberance about him. he was the type of person who could definitely make your day better by talking to him. I wish you many happy memories of him: and all the love he surrounded you with as he got to spread his warmth with everyone he met. How blessed you all we to have him in your lives. Love, Hugs and Blessings to you All.

I remember Tim's infectious smile. No matter what mood you might have had when you first walked in the room at UUCW, for any function you were definitely put in a great mood after seeing Tim;s smile and talking to him for a few minutes. The rest of your day was uplifted. He will be surely missed by everyone who knew him. May the light of this Candle light his way peacefully to and to be free truly free with love all around him.

Loved to hear him sing Bass with his Precious Family, the Horrell-etts !! He is now singing in that Heavenly Choir !! ❤

We knew John through birding, and will remember him as someone who was always so very generous in volunteering his time and sharing his knowledge and expertise. It was always a pleasure to bird with and learn from John, whether on guided walks or the many Christmas Bird Counts he participated in. We will miss him, and send our condolences to his family.

I am a nurse at Autumn Care and have taken care of Mr. Murray several times over the last few years when he needed care.He was an exceptional person, and one of the kindest person I ever met. He never complained (even we he had a reason to), and always kept his faith.His wife Janet was such a great support for him. I loved them both.He will be missed

I am so sorry to hear of this sweet ladies passing. You are all in our prayers. Love you all

To me Tim was the epitome of what it means to be a gracious, caring human being. Tim was a role model for us all. You could not meet a more generous giving person. I will miss his wonderful smile. What an inspiration. Robin, I am so sorry for your loss.

Ray was a tremendous supporter of St Paul’s UMC, the head usher and always met you at the front door on Sunday mornings with a big smile and welcomed you. He worked tirelessly at the Church doing whatever needed to be done, when he was able. He was a great friend. Janet, so sorry for loss.

I am so sorry for your loss, I remember riding horses in that area, several of us local girls. Prayers for the family during this time.

Uncle Donald I know I was there for your last few months but I'm glad I grew up seeing you a lot. You were an amazing uncle and we were all so lucky to have you in our lives. We love and miss you! Rest peacefully Uncle Donald!

I have known Mr.Gugan for three years. I saw him every Wednesday morning at the Wilmington Health infusion department. I was his nurse and he NEVER had a bad day. He was always cheerful no matter what his circumstances were or the pain he may have been in. I loved talking with him and hearing about his life and boy did he love Robin. He was an example for me on how to cherish your spouse. He is missed by all of us in the infusion department and one of our greatest memories is last Christmas he came with the Barber Shop Quartet and sang Christmas carols for all the patients. We will miss you Mr Gugan

Whether he was acknowledged or not Ray continually worked to maintain the church building while he was able. One of the best men Nancy and I ever met. So sorry for your loss Janet.

Whether he was acknowledged or not Ray continually worked hard to maintain the church building as long as he was able. One of the best men Nancy and I ever met. So sorry for your loss Janet.

For the last 20 years, you were a shining fixture in my life at St. Paul's UMC. You would walk in twice a week with your tool belt and your smile and ask "what needs to be done?" From filters to carpentry to painting to errands and all other types of building maintenance, you were always there - capable, willing and generous with your time and talent. Working closely with you brought me close to you and Janet, and you are always in my heart as a father figure. I have hardly ever met someone as kind, gentle, humble, and faithful. I will miss you always, dearest Ray. God will most certainly give you peace and a special place close to Jesus in heaven - for a good man and a faithful servant.

Mrs Williamson was a wonderful lady. Condolences to the Family.

My prayers go out to the Family.

Your Mother will be missed but never forgotten always in our hearts.

My prayers go out to the family your Mother will be missed but never forgotten, always in our hearts.

We love you Auntie Jean. You will be missed. Sending thoughts and prayers. XO. So sorry Joe and family

We love you Autie Jean. You will be missed sending thoughts and prayers.

My condolences to his daughters, who he absolutely adored! He spoke so highly of you girls all of the time. We met during our Social Working degrees, and completed an internship together in Hospice. He will always hold a special place in my heart. What a wonderful soul!

Uncle Ray, I will always remember those glasses you wore, I would asked you why did you always wear your glasses on your forehead and you said because I have eyes up their but you can't see them. We will deeply miss you and we love you Uncle Ray.

The world will not be the same without Tim. Richard and I met him and Robin through dances at the Senior Center. They welcomed us into our new Wilmington home and always saved a seat at the 'Over 50' and Cotillion Club dances. Thank you, Tim, thank you Robin. We love you!

Always a bright smile while hard at work around the church. So sorry for your loss Janet

Jackie was very caring and always willing to lend a helping hand. I will surely miss Jackie's smile. As I walked pass her office going to my 8:15 meeting eveeryday I would stick my head in and say, "Good morning Jackie, May I have some peppermints"? She would smile and say, "Good morning Karen, you dont have to ask Karen, if my door is open you can take as many as you like". She will be missed by many. I will continue to pray for the family. God bless you all. Karen Thomas

So sorry dad we didn’t get to spend a lot of time together in our lives but I know love was always there.

To Billy and Family, Our deepest sympathy for your great loss. May God's love and peace be with you, always. Sincerely, Terry and Jane Moore

Mark and Debbie are so sorry about Jackie passing may God be with the family our deepest sympathy

Tim was always such an inspiration with his optimism. Rich was on the same hospital floor and went in to say hello when we realized he was only 2 rooms away. Rich mentioned what a wonderful disposition he had even though he was not feeling well. Sounded like they both enjoyed spending a little time together. He was a wonderful man and has a wonderful wife. Wishing Robin some peace and love with all the memories they made together.

Dear Robin and Family, Although I didn’t know Tim well, I have only the fondest memories of him from UUFW (now UUCW). His friendliness, ready smile, and kind heart always brought sunshine to a room. I enjoyed his singing and appreciated his tireless dedication to the church. He will surely be missed. Sending healing energy and hugs your way.

My condolences to Mike's family. I first met Mike about 10 years ago through a mutual fellowship. God bless him and his family.

Tony and I are so very sorry for the loss of dear Tim and send our condolences, prayers, and hugs to Robin and family. Tim and Robin were among the very first people we met when we started attending services at UUCWNC nearly three years ago. They made us feel so welcome and invited us to go dancing with them. At that time we were busy unpacking boxes and just never got around to it, but we wish we had. Tim was a bright light in our congregation. We always looked for his friendly face, wide smile, warm handshake, and upbeat words. We will deeply miss him.

I loved singing with him in choir. Such a wonderful soul

I knew Tim during his last several years. In spite of his own declining health, I noticed he always focused on others, offering compassion and cheerful encouragement during hard times. What a model of courage and kindness he was! I'm so grateful to know him and Robin.

Tim was always so kind to me and my family. He always asked about us with genuine interest and love. One of my favorite memories is watching Robin and Tim dance at the UU during one of our Talent services. He was absolutely talented! The choir will greatly miss his voice and energy. Much love to your family.

I'm not sure where to start.... I met Gigi around 1989 at GE and began working with her soon after. Gigi was a brilliant and beautiful person, but so very humble. We worked on many projects together over the years and I was able to be part of 3 patents with her and a few other coworkers. We traveled to Japan a couple of times training inspectors on the system that she had developed special software to analyze inspection data. We were a good team, and I learned so much from her. About 13 1/2 years ago our female Lab had six puppies, Gigi mentioned that a friend wanted to get a pup and asked if she could take one, we were happy to give one of the black males a new home. A couple of weeks later, Gigi told me the friend decided not to take the pup and asked if I minded if she kept him, of course I said she could, and this turned out to be the best gift we could have ever given her! Buddy (Which she named him) became her Best friend! I could go on and on with memories of our friendship, but I'll keep it short. I considered Gigi one of my best friends, we laughed and cried together, and even after she moved to Wilmington we always kept in touch. We had lunch whenever I made it down for a work visit and often were called on to help out with problems on the inspection system she had such a huge role in developing. I miss her smile and our talks, and I as you can see from others comments, I am not alone. The last thing she said to me about a week before she went home was "I'm in God's hands now" and she certainly is. Gigi I'll see you later! God Speed!

We were so very sorry to hear about Tim’s passing. We loved to catch up with you both as our UU neighbors and friends! Tim’s smile and welcoming nature will be missed! Our thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family ❤️

I enjoyed knowing John in the Carolina Bird Club. He had not attended a meeting in a long time, but we exchanged emails recently. So very sad that he has died so young.

May God Bless you Nora and your family! You cast a bright light to all of us. You never forgot to send us all Birthday cards and holiday greetings! You will be missed.

Robin, Bob and I extend our condolences. Tim was just a good guy! We got to know him from choir and from the Welcome Desk. One day after a service, we were walking around the building and Tim stopped us and asked us to pick up food for MHC. We had never done that before but we said "YES!" because Tim asked. We could never say "no" to Tim! Loved his smile and his positive attitude. You couldn't help but love him. He will be missed on every level.

We are two of many people who attended John’s classes and walks and learned from him to be better birders. He will be sorely missed in the community.

Sorry for the lost of such a wonderful person. I pray her family's strength in the Lord.

I knew John as a local birder who always was friendly, knowledgeable and very helpful in getting people excited about our local birds. He will be very missed by many. So sorry.

I’m saddened to hear of the passing of Jackie. We met in 81 on Ft. Fisher. She became my best friend along with the Rivera twins. We played on basketball and we’re on bowling league’s together. My father was assigned to AK in 86 but Jackie and I wrote each other often as well as our parents sending Christmas cards to each other. I recently found her on FB and caught up as if we hadn’t lost contact. You will truly be missed R I H

My condolences for Jackie's family. I knew her from work and she was such a nice person. She always helped everyone as much as she could. We're going to miss her and she will never be forgotten. May God have her in his glory. Rest in peace. May God give her family strength.

Racheal, your father and I can’t believe you’re gone. It’s incredibly heartbreaking for the kids. We will do our best to make sure they grow up to be strong and confident adults. Rest easy. We love you.

Dear Kathi, My deepest sympathy to you, Chris and your family. Although I never met your father, but from reading about him he sounded like a really cool guy who shared many of your passions. He must have been incredibly proud of you. All my love, Shelley

I had the opportunity to go on a few bird walks with John through the Carolina Bird Club many years ago. He was very kind and generous to newbie birders like me. He helped me identify my first common yellow throat warbler and feel OK about not being able to id a flycatcher. My deepest sympathies to the family.

Dear Robin, I was so saddened to learn of Tim's death. He was a beacon of life; always had a good word, always upbeat. What a treasure. I miss him a lot and will say a prayer for you.

I well remember John's posts on the carolinabirds listserve. I didn't know him personally but his obituary reflects what I sensed from his reports of his birding adventures. We also share a love of Little Gidding, and the TS Eliot quote that was not only appropriate for John's life, but for our current times. It's clear that he has earned the Biblical praise, "well done, good and faithful servant.". My sympathy to John's family and friends. I lost my husband in March, so I'm well aware of how especially difficult it ts to navigate grief and loss in a pandemic. Special blessing to each of you. Ann Blue Robertson / Winston-Salem

Met Kathryn in High School (Forest Hills). She brightened a many of my days. Very fortunate to have known her. To Charles and family: Cheryl and I are deeply saddened for your loss. We have and will think of Kathryn and you with love!

Kathi, I am shocked and saddened by your Dad's passing. I dearly loved John and took him birding out to Ev-Henwood just three months ago in mid-April, recently collected his birding books for UNCW, and last texted him, saying, "If you ever want to go birding by car...." I was on the Board of Directors of Cape Fear Audubon and so enjoyed seeing him at the lectures and on our monthly bird walks. I shall miss him so. Lots of wonderful memories! Hope his cat finds a good home. I know how much John loved him.

Condolences to the family.

Robin, we were so sorry to hear of Tim's passing. You will be in our thoughts and prayers. Tim always made us feel so welcome when we went to the dances. He will be missed.

I just saw that John had passed via an email from Carolina Birds. Just wanted to let you know how much I appreciated his nature photos and informational posts about nature. I remember many wonderful posts about butterflies on facebook. Will miss him!

Jackie was so nice to everyone! Human Resources was the perfect career for her and she will be sadly missed at GAF. So sorry, R.I.P. Jackie.

I had the great pleasure (honor) to work with Leslie as her line manager at Syneos (formerly INC). She was a beautiful and kind spirit, a true delight to so many. God has gained a genuine angel into His family in Heaven. She will be sorely missed.

RIP DEAR JACKIE YOU WILL BE MISSED

Mrs. Mildred was the true meaning of a lady! She always treated you with kindness. She will be greatly missed.

Jackie was 1 in a billion. She was my great friend at work at GAF. I would always vent to her and she would just listen. We always had conversations about our dogs, our children and our spouse/my boyfriend. She lit up the HR office at GAF with her great smile. My condolences to Chris, children and close friends. I don't ever think I'll get over this loss. I pray that the good Lord is comforting her and until we meet again, it's not a goodbye. You will be missed terribly

I am shocked and saddened to hear about Jackie's passing. I have such fond memories. I met Jackie through my friendship with Jennifer Scheffel Edmisten back in the early 90's. Jackie didn't know me from Adams house cat, but the first time we hung out together she treated me like she had known me all of our lives. She was so funny, lively and made me feel so welcome to be a part of their group when ever we did things and hung out together. We had many adventures together, hanging out in Wilmington and heading up 17 to Jacksonville so we could dance with Marines at Thunderbirds. Because of my acquaintance with Jen, Jackie and Dorene, I met my best friend and soul mate, and we have been married for 23 years and raised a wonderful 20 year old daughter together. My prayers are with with Jackie's sister, husband, and her precious children and step children that she left behind, and also the many many friends so personally effected by this loss. Rest in Piece my dear friend, even though the course of life has made us estranged over the past few years, you will always hold a special place in my heart.

Jackie was certainly a kind and loving person with a generous soul and larger than life heart. She helped me with many HR challenges early in my hospice career and shared her knowledge willingly without judgment. Her husband and family meant the world to her and she was a proud mother and wife. May the fond memories we have of Jackie heal our hearts at this sad time.

Our condolences to the Trull Family. Katheryn made Trinity Baptist home to so many of us. We loved her dearly~ we always knew when it winter, Katheryn sat at the right side of the church close to the heaters. I love that she shared her warm insight with me. She will be missed by many.

Kathi, your father will always have a special place in my heart! So many good memories to our road trips to Florida (don’t forget Marineland ) to football games, graduation and so many more! I always admired his love for nature and photography! He will be truly missed. My prayers go out to you, Chris and your family.

Jackie was a friend to all that knew her. She was sweet and so easy to talk to. I never saw her not smiling and enjoying life. She will be missed by so many. Prayers to all her family and loved ones.

Kathy - i am so very sorry for your loss, your dad was always so kind to me when we were kids and had the patience of a saint putting up with us!!! He will be missed ❤️

Kathi, I am so saddened to hear the news of John’s passing. Your Dad meant a lot to me and I will never forget him.. He was kind and better to me than.my own father was. I remember his smile and a great sense of humor. In life you don’t encounter many truly special people but John was in that group. I am a better person for knowing your Dad! God bless you Kathi and your family. You have a Father that you can be proud of.

Chris and family, What a wonderful tribute to a beautiful woman who was cherished by many. May you find comfort in the cherished memories that you hold in your hearts. Wishing you love and serenity.

Kathi, so incredibly sorry for your loss but from his obituary he sounded so amazing and I know you were a special part of his life. I pray he rests in peace and you find peace too.

George, Carrie, Eric and Grace - we're so very sorry for your loss. What a beautiful obituary of a life well lived. There's a Tuscarora Indian proverb that I hope brings you comfort, "They are not dead who live in the hearts they leave behind." Hugs! ~ Rebecca, Dave, Megan & Patrick

Dear Chris and family, What a loving tribute to Jackie. It's so clear how loving and beloved she was, and our hearts ache for you at her untimely loss. Please know you have many people enfolding you, and everyone who loved her, in love and support at this difficult time. Sending love to all. --Karen (Lewis) Taylor and family

To my dear friend Kathy I only meet your dad on 2 different occasions while you were in college he was a kind gentle man who loved his daughter.

To Charles, Mark and April: Please accept our heartfelt condolences on the loss of your loved one. In this tough time in your life, may our friendship, sympathy and heartfelt condolences bring you comfort. I first met Kathryn & Charles about 30 years ago when they visited Mark who was stationed here in Spangdahlem (Germany) and lived next door to my parents. Mark quickly became a member of our family and since then we have a great friendship. I only met Kathry a few times but often think about all of you and will keep her in goog memory. God blessing will be with you during this sad time.

Thank you for making Germany home.

I will always remember it crystal trip. But I'll always remember just the friendship and feeling of family we shared so far away from home. It made Germany a home as well.

Blessings to all her heirs and kin. Sorry that such a rich life has to end, but such great memories live on.

Our world is better for folks like that. My condolences.

I do offer my prayers to all in hopes that the pain you feel can lessens and your thoughts and memories are full of great happiness... I know she will be watching over you all and now, an angelic mother...RIP mom Trull

OUR DEEPEST SYMPATHY GOES OUT TO THE FAMILY. WE ARE VERY SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS. MAY GOD COMFORT ALL IN THIS TIME OF NEED.

His smile would light up a room full of sour pusses! I don't think I was ever with Tim when there wasn't a smile welcoming me. That smile told the story of his essence...kind, thoughtful, caring and loving life. I wish we had his spirit.

Thanks Tim for the many joyful memories; golfing, playing pinochle, sharing the Holidays together with family. You always had a smile and words for encouragement. You have reached your final reward, well deserved my friend.

I am so saddened to hear of the loss of sweet Edna! She was such an amazing lady, the epitome of sweet southern charm. I was lucky enough to experience her “sweet tea in a mason jar”.and learn her secret recipe! Love and prayers to you all at this time.

Camp's birthday is coming up. I will never forget working with him in 6th grade. I miss him and his spirit. Thank you Rita for part of his shirt and his blanket. I will never lose it because it's all I have left of him.

I have lots of memories of Marvin, playing softball at then Empie Park Ball Fields few years back, my church visited and few months back having a meal with his Mama at Cracker Barrel!! My prayers for his family & many friends!! I love Marvin’s Smiles & Voice !! In Loving Remembrance

My prayers are with you Charles,the boys and their families. I will miss Kathryn very much, she has been an alot of encougagement to me these years after the lost of Robert.

Kathryn and Vivian are together just catching up and watching over us. I know I now having another angel watching over me. She will always be in my heart with happy and fond memories. Love Shellia

I went to Germany to teach at Spangdahlem Elementary in August 1985. On the second Sunday I was in Germany I visited Trinity Baptist Church in Metterich. Kathryn & Charles invited me to their home for lunch after church. They made me feel like family. That made a huge difference in my life. I knew that Trinity was God's place for me. I met my wife, Ann, there. I became a deacon there. I grew in love for God there. Kathryn and Charles will forever have a special place in my heart! Thank God that they were the obedient servants that they were.

Thank you for such a wonderful obituary, a real celebration of life. I recall fondly the lunch with grandma edna and her family last summer. There is no doubt she will be missed.

Kathryn was one of my good friends in school. Praying for your family!

To Charles, Mark, April and the rest of the family, y’all have my condolences...

Gigi was truly a gifted and remarkable person. Her light shined brightly in this world. We are better off for having the opportunity to know her. Gigi's physical presence will surely be missed. Focus on the good time and the good memories. Her spirit will be with you always. The family is in my thoughts and prayers.

George, Carrie, Eric and Grace, Please know we are sending loving thoughts and prayers to each of you. The Bell family are all sending love to you.

When one met Tim at dining venues, in the halls,on the elevator, always a smile, always a cheery greeting...that was our Tim. He will be missed. We grieve with you, Robin. Namaste'

I had the pleasure of meeting Ms. Edna when I moved to Wilmington 8 years ago. There was never a time thereafter that she was any different from the very first day I met her. Talk about an Angel <3 You were a beautiful person who made a beautiful life. Im going to miss our chats and your smiling face. #RIP mybeautifulsweetfriend. Strawberry Season will never be the same...

Such a precious soul gone to soon. So happy you came into my life. I will never forget you

Our sincerest condolences and prayers for the family with the loss of Edna. May God comfort you with peace and love during this difficult time. Edna will truly be missed, she was loved by so many.

Our prayers are with Charles, the boys and their families. We will miss Kathryn much. She was such a good person and had her heart with the Lord always. She is in a much better place, even though we cannot see her and talk to her, she will always with us in spirit.

We will sure miss her, loved getting those hugs especially on Zion's harvest day and when we seen each other.

"Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning." My thoughts and prayers are with your family in this time of sorrow!

Prayers from all of us @ the USPS to the entire Viola Family from GPO Brewery St , New Haven & SoCT! May he be at peace.

“With Sympathy. Words can’t wipe away your tears. Hugs won’t ease your pain. But hold on to your memories. Forever they’ll remain.”

We are sad now, because she was such a strong sweet lady. But, we will always have our memories of Edna to make us smile. She was a great person who added so much to every life she touched. I can't take your pain away, but I can be here to talk or reminisce if you want. Our Merciful God says "Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Will hardship, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor rulers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord." - Romans 8:35, 37- 39 Let us pray: Dear Lord, We thank you that nothing can seperate us from the love of God in Christ. Not even death. For those who live in The Lord, when they leave the body, they are forever happy in the presence with The Lord. Thank you Lord for Edna's life, and all the years we shared with her. We lift her to you today, in honour of the good we saw in her and the love we felt from her. Please give us the strength to leave Edna in your care, in the knowledge of eternal life through Jesus Christ. Amen.

I love u mom

Dang mom I cant believe your gone it make me so sad it feels like ur going to walk in the door any second but ur not I don’t want to believe it I love u and miss u

So sorry to hear about Tom's passing. Tom and I were friends back in Toledo probably 40-45 years ago. I worked at Janson Tool and Die when the Co. bought some CNC milling machines from him.

LuAnn and Joe Jr. My Deepest Condolences to you and your Families... Only pleasant memories of Joe Sr. go through my mind.. The Post Office was never the same when after he retired ... So many times he assisted me with NAPS.. His laughter, jokes and smile remain with me still. Rest in peace, Joe....

Racheal, I will miss you so much. You made my life happier just knowing you. Rest in peace you sweet little girl

George, Carrie and family, We share in your grief and pray that you will be comforted.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Uncle Charles and the family at this sad time. "Draw close to God and he will draw close to you" In loving memories of our Aunt Kathryn....

We went to Zion church together and John and I were talking and can’t remember a time when we looked at Edna Faye when she wasn’t smiling!

Dear Robin and Family, We were so sorry to hear about Tim's passing. Tim will be sadly missed by all who knew him. He was a kind, helpful, gentle soul, always with a friendly smile for everyone. You and your family are in our prayers.

I'm finding it very hard to put my thoughts into words. Even though our lives took us down different paths, you were and will always be my best friend. In the past few days, I've been overwhelmed with so many emotions. You left us too soon and I know everyone wishes for more time with you. You are loved and will be missed dear friend.

When ever I saw Miss Gigi at work. She would always give me a smile and a hello. She had such a beautiful smile. Rest In Peace

Robin and family.I'm very sorry to hear of Tim"s passing.He will be missed greatly at the dances for sure. Baby Boomer DJ Grady

I just found out about Bill's passing. I was so sorry to learn this. He was a special person. He was good to our family and we thought a lot of him. I had gone by to visit with him on several occasions after he was mostly confined to his home. I regret not going back again sooner. I will miss his friendship. My condolences to his family. .

Baby I love and miss you so much. You gave me the priveledge of becoming a father to Adriana and Wiley. You were and are the love of my life and my best friend. I will remember all the great times we shared together. I promise to always protect and care for our kids. I will always love you until the day I get to see your beautiful face again. I'm so glad the last thing we said to each other is I Love You. Rest easy beautiful until I hold you in my arms again.

I interviewed Gigi for a robotic engineer job in Wilmington, She was so shy and quiet I was afraid the shop would not be a good place for her. The last thing I asked her in the interview was “why do you want to leave the lab and work in a shop”. I’ll never forget her answer” I need to push myself to overcome my shyness and learn my trade hands on”. I was sold on her then. She quickly became my fav because she never backed down. Inside that shy lady was a heart of a champion, We are are better for knowing her. You just don’t meet that kind of person everyday. RIP my friend

Robin, Hank and I are so sorry to hear about Tim's passing. We will fondly remember laughing and dancing next to you at the Elks and Cotillion.

I miss you so much and tried to find you over the years after our paths went separate ways! You had a hard life but you overcame it all! We had a lot of good times! I wish I was able to be there for you! Let God heal you now. Let God take your hand and show you the way! I love you my sister, Rita! I will always hold you dear to my heart! Rest my friend. Rest with those beautiful angel wings of yours! Watch over us all. With my deepest love and admiration!

My dearest and sweetest sister & friend, RIta (Skeeter) .

Mark I am so sorry for your loss I know how you feel and how bad it hurts we lost our baby about 12 years ago due to the same thing he was 24 I can't say it'll get easier all I can say is you will start accepting that but you just learned to bring them into your life by talking about it even if its 12:15 years later you bring them into your life talk about things they used to do that were funny or sweet that's like I remember when Rachel was born at Cape Fear Hospital I still remember that night but it it won't get easier but it will get better because she was your first born about my mom and my sympathy Wendy

George, Carrie and family, I am so very saddened to hear this news. Thoughts and prayers are with you all. Jeff

I know you and your Mom are listening to Journey and dancing together. I'm sure, at first, she was upset with you for being there way too soon. You will be missed by so many. We love you. We will take care of Wiley and Adriana. ..."the word is on the street that the fire in your heart is out" but your light will shine in our hearts forever.

The one thing that always comes to mind when thinking of Gigi is her smile. She always had one for you no matter the situation and it was infectious. There was never a time you did not want to stop and talk with her....about anything. She will be sorely missed and I know God has her in his arms.

Robin, our condolences to your and your family, we will keep you in our prayers. We were so surprised to hear of Tim's passing. We will always remember Tim for his friendliness, his smile and his dancing.

Although my time in Fair Bluff in the mid-90's was brief, Pastor Gwinn made a lasting impact in my life. He was there for me during a difficult time in my life and showed the love of Christ in words and actions. My heartfelt condolences to Jill, Rachel, and Josh. May God comfort and strengthen you.

we miss you uncle rickie, u were taken from us on my birthday and its a day ill never forget, we love you!! love your niece, sheana!!!

Robin,. I am sorry for your loss. I enjoyed knowing you both. May God give you the comfort you need.

To my life long friend, we grew up as neighbors and spent all of our childhood birthdays together, went to school together, and we were more than brothers. I am thankful that we reconnected in the last couple of years. We talked many times on the phone and I will be forever grateful for those moments. I can still here your voice on my message's giving me crap to send you those T-shirts, I am thankful that I took the time to send them to you and Helen. Very hard to think that most of your siblings are passed as well as your mom and dad. I was a true blessing to have grown up next to you and your family, SO MANY GREAT TIMES. Go rest easy my brother, I will always love and miss you!! My god bless you.

Jill and family- we loved Marvin- he was such a joy to be around. You were always gonna laugh and hear about Gods goodness when with him or talking by phone. Jennifer’s family has such great memories of being with you and Marvin in the early years of your ministry in Rocky Mount. You Both were a real blessing to their family. Marvin leaves a great legacy and taught His church to believe and trust God- in good times and trying times. We are praying for all of you and your church family!

You are in our thoughts and Prayers.

Robin I am so sorry to learn of this sad news. I'll never forget the kindness & support Tim showed to Ed & I during Ed's surgeries & final days. You both were such loyal & caring friends & I love you both. Please know that you are in my thoughts & prayers & take comfort in knowing how loved & respected Tim is for his empathy & help to many community activities -- he was counted on by so many of us & especially those in the dance community. He will be remembered & missed by many.

Dear Robin and Family--Tim picked us out of the crowd at our first visit at UU. He was our best welcomer with arms wide open, the sharer of positivity and caring outreach to our bumps in the road.

What a great life your Dad lived. I’m sure our Dads passed each other at Kodak!! He was a lovely man and he will be missed . Sorry for your loss Jan ,Jim and family. You are in our prayers.

My condolences to your family. I will remember Tim's always-present smile and friendliness. He will be missed here at Carolina Bay.

Jill, Dyan and I are praying for You, Joshua , Rachel and all Your Family. You and Marvin have poured into so many lives during your ministry together. Marvin, a great man, leader mentor, pastor and friend, is now resting in the presence of our Lord. May the Peace of God which surpasses all human reasoning and understanding, fill your life each and every day. Love and Prayers, Always!

Dear Lu and Family, Deepest Sympathies to you and your family. I can hear Joepa singing " I Love this Bar!" Miss him and Love to you, Pam and Richie

Robin and family, Tim's passing affects many of us in the Wilmington Community. Tim will be remembered for his leadership, tenacity and personal joy. He will be missed.

I had the pleasure of meeting Gigi when I worked at General Electric. I always enjoyed our meaningful conversations on various subjects which continued after I left GE. She always had a humble and sweet spirit which radiated from the inside. Her presence will surely be missed. To the family, may The Comforter be with each and everyone of you while you cherish the memories of your loved one. She truly will be missed.

Dear Lisa, We were so sorry to read about the loss of your sister. Please extend our condolences to your family. We still have fond memories of our time on Pine Street. Love, Alex, Gena, and Anna Pridgen

A precious life, gone to soon-may you now rest in peace...Love you from Uncle Bobby and Aunt Becky

My precious...It has taken a bit of time to even read or look at this...Geoffry just mentioned of speaking to loved ones more and getting closer with time. I am so proud he was doing his best and sometimes choices or other plans the Lord has for us. I know I'll see him again with that big smile and of course lets say lady's man but baby looking grin of his..

Ms.Frances, Going to be miss and love. She was always my favorite customer working at Dollar General.

go bye my friend Joe Joe and I am sorry that misable piss hole on oleander drive thay call the elks lodge separated our friend ship. just shows you what a horrible horrible horrible place the Wilmington elks lodge is

I remember Mr. Robinson my childhood for my grandfather and father worked at Pioneer Roofing. Prayers for all the family.

Condolences for your loss. Jo, Jenny and Danny

My mother Irene Ronning was a long time good friend of Linea. Although I never met her, my mother often shared with me her fond memories. They also wrote letters and cards to each other for years. My mother was heartbroken to learn of her passing. My mother just passed away this June 3rd 2020, age 74. I imagine the have reunited.

In the past, I have done several catering events for brother Marvin and I always enjoyed the experience and found him a great friend and Christian man

So sorry to hear of Pastor Marvin Gwinn's passing. He had a great calling and annointing on his life and the kingdom of God has lost a great soldier. Sorry for us but happy for him...no more suffering or pain. Love you Marvin and will miss you.

My Condolences to the entire family of Ms Frances. She was a wonderful lady ♥️

Mark Pfouts (my fiance) & I met Gigi years ago at a wine tasting dinner & we continued to enjoy Saturday night wine dinners through about January of this year. She was an amazingly smart, fun, & lovely woman & we are sorry we did not see her before we moved to Florida this past March. Our sincerest condolences are with James & her family & friends.

Joey....one of the three musketeers of GMF New Haven in the late '70's and thru the mid-'80's. Don't know what happened to the #2 musketeer, Bob Burke, but #3 is here and deeply sorrowed by your passing. I only hope that my mini telephone calls to you brightened your spirits as they did mine. We tried to make it fun to come to work. You led the way as everyone worked hard and partied hard. Now that you are at the big "choir practice" in the sky, hold a spot for the rest of us. Peace my dear brother, I love you. Bob O'Connor

Our Deepest Condolences to Lu and all the family & friends of JoPa , we had the pleasure of knowing Joe , he was such a sweet man ,we miss him dearly We love you JoPa

Prayers to the Viola Family from Joe Sr to Joe III and especially Joe JR who was my supervisor at Usps.

I do not have the words to express the sadness and heavy heart that I feel at the loss of such a sweet kind person. I will remember her beautiful smile that was always on display. It was a pleasure to sit by and work with Gigi. To her family, I am so very sorry for your loss . I pray for God to comfort you in this difficult time.

I always felt at home with Joe, both being from ct we could reminisce!! He was like a brother to everyone he met, my grandchildren adored him, they could never wait to go to his cookouts!! He was a generous man and would do anything for you except drinking his moonshine. I will always remember you Joe. RIP

We are so sorry for the loss of our dear friend Joe! Joe was a unique rascal and so full of life! You inspired us all Joepa! We are blessed to call you friend and will miss the great fun we had...you were always the life of the party. You did it your way, from karaoke to hanging out and playing cards, you kept us intrigued with your jokes, stories and that great smile! Lu was the love of your life and you let everyone know how much you appreciated her...so wonderful that you spent your life with your best friend . You will be missed but never forgotten dear friend! SAY IT Joe! Love you-Jeff & Debbie

Marie was a special friend to me since early childhood. She loved the Lord and lived her life accordingly. She loved to study God's word and loved to teach others and taught our Joy Sunday School class for many years. Melanie, Robbie and all her family are in my thought and prayers during these difficult days. I pray our heavenly Father will comfort and sustain you. I am thankful that Marie was my friend.

Joe will be sorely missed. He’s up in heaven cracking jokes and keeping everyone laughing. We love you Louanne and our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family

Betty Lou was always smiling. She dearly loved her children and grandchildren. I know she will be deepmy missed.

Jill,Fern, and family.We cannot tell you how sorry we are about Marvin. Prayers for your family

I am so very sad at the loss of this wonderful pastor and man of God. When my parents would be in the hospital, he not only visited and prayed with them, he would sit with me in the waiting room comforting me. He visited at their home praying and comforting all of us. Without a doubt he really cared for everyone. As much as we will miss him, angels are singing and rejoicing as he enters Heaven . Thank you my Heavenly Father for blessing us with such a wonderful man of God as Pastor Gwinn .

Gigi....you don't picture her, say her name or thing of her without hearing her voice, or seeing that smile and gleam in her eye. I had the pleasure of being on teams with Gigi at GE for 28 years. I spoke last with her April 23 when spoke of old times and her look ahead to her upcoming retirement. With tears in my eyes, Heaven gained an angel 6/22 and we lost one. Gigi, rest. Your journey has had many stones and rocks in the road, which you navigated as you did every day with smiles, grit, and grace. Your educational accomplishments attests to your goal and determination to never lose site of your goals and purpose. Rest in His Peace Gigi....and I know, you will continue your goal to provide for your family and friends with a new level of ability you now have attained.

I worked with Joe at USPS. He had a great sense of humor. My condolences to his family and may he Rest In Peace.

Thoughts and prayers for the Viola family. I worked with Joe at the P.O.

My deepest condolences to the family. May the Angels lead him into the Pearly gates of the kingdom. Rest in Heavenly peace Joe.

I had the pleasure of working with Gigi for over 25 yrs. at GE in Cinti. Oh., her easy going spirit made her a joy to work with. Smart and articulate, she could make you laugh or cheer you up with a few kind words of encouragement. She loved God and she loved life and faced its challenges head on, which made her the woman she was. Gigi, go peacefully into that good night my friend, we'll see you again on the other side. Clifford and Alice Sneed

Marie was such a wonderful example of a Christian woman who loved the Lord. I am so sorry for the loss of your Mother, Melanie and Robbie.

Sorry for your loss

So sorry for your loss.

RIP uncle Joe. I’m so grateful we reconnected . Say hi to my dad. Prayers to Luanne and your family. Love you

Jill, we are so sorry to hear about Marvin. You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.

Jerry was the coolest uncle a man could have. Especially a young man. I remember when I went to work with him as a 14 year old, I thought he was the coolest man. He had a cool 1967 RS Camero, he taught me a few new words and he didn't take any crap from anybody. Uncle Jerry finally sold me that cool Camero after about 30 years of bugging him. Thank you Uncle Jerry I will miss you. I love you Aunt Bobbie, Jerry Jr. and Tim.

so hated to hear about Suanne and her passing. She was a very friendly and bubbly person. We were in the class of 86; ya never knew what she was gonna do or say but it was always funny. Sue, I am sorry to have just heard about this today, Friday 06/26/2020. I would've been there at the visitation. Would love to hear from you and see you. Please call me (910) 619-6234

I

Kelly

Jill, Bill and I are so saddened to hear of your loss. We have loved you and Marvin for many years and are so glad we were able to see you once more when we visited your church. We pray for comfort for you and all your family and know we will all meet again.

Teresa Godoy-Goldston Geoffrey's Ma-Ma Home Number: (910) 350-062 Cell Number: (910) 515-8627 e-mail: [email protected] Hope to hear from You anytime.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Geoffrey was Ma-Ma's Baby Boy. When I lost him many years ago, I had lost a Big Part of Me, and the purpose I had for living, but there was Absolutely Nothing I could do except pray everyday for him, his safety, and that one day he would come home. I Thank God that three weeks before My Baby passed away, my Dreams almost came true. On Mother's Day I received the Very Best Gift, I could have ever asked for. Geoffrey called me to Wish Me, a Happy Mother's Day, and he told me How Much He Loved Me. We spoke for hours, about so many things, and how we were going to spend the rest of our lives making up for Old Times. I was so happy that all I could do was cry. After that we spoke everyday, or texted one another, and OH, HOW WE LAUGHED ABOUT SO MANY THINGS, and cried about others, but we did it together, and made Big Plans about being together on the 4th of July; but God had other Big Plans for My Precious Boy, and decided to take him home to Rest In Peace with the Other Angels. I thank Chris, who I love like he were a son of mine, for all he did for his Best Friend, to make his final weeks a better place to live, and to All of His Friends who have expressed their condolences, and Unconditional Love. I'm sure Geoffrey is in Heaven, watching down on all of you. I will be having a Memorial for Geoffrey. Please feel free to call me at (910) 350-0629, and this way I can inform you of the date, time and location of the Memorial, if you would like to attend.

Prayers to all

I am so shocked and saddened at the passing of Brother Marvin. We served on a COG Boys Ministry Committee in the 90s. He and I were liked minded conservatives. Sister Jill and family, my heart is saddened for you. My prayers are with you for God's comfort during this time.

I had the great pleasure of working with and getting to know Gigi while working at Ge. The kindest, sweetest person I ever worked with! She supported our team tremendously with robotics and edge contour. I never called her for help, day or night, that she wasn’t there immediately. One of the best people I ever worked with. Our prayers are with the family, RIP Gigi you were a blessing to many!

My thoughts and Prayers to the family and friends of Barbara. May she rest in peace in Heaven.

We are so sorry for your loss. We remember Mike and the family from way back on Phobus Drive - we were the newlyweds across the street. I can remember baking the squash pie for Mike and he thought it was pumpkin and loved it. We think about all of you often and are so sad to learn of Mike's passing. May God be with you all during this difficult time.

Gigi Gambrell was so beautiful inside and out. Always kind and positive. She will truly be missed by all who knew her. Sympathy and prayers for her family.

Joey and Gloria, I am so sorry for your loss. I did not see the arrangements in time to get to the service but I would have loved to be there. I loved your mom dearly and she was a special blessing to our family. She did a whole lot of sewing for all of our family over the years and we shared many conversations over the years. She kept me up to date on all of your family and she spoke of all of you with so much love and pride. She attended my children’s weddings, helped alter prom dresses, make costumes for their many events. I will miss her dearly. I loved sitting and talking to her about our Long Leaf days. She was awesome and such a great role model! I pray for comfort for your family.

I never met the Good Rev but I know his son Joshua as the old saying goes the Apple does not fall far from the Tree so I know the Rev was one heck of a Man God Bless the Family

I am so saddened by our former pastor's passing. Pastor Gwinn preached a sermon that led my husband, Michael Tartt, and me to the altar. We were saved and have served the Lord since that day. My children began their foundation of learning about Jesus under his ministry, and my children still have a strong relationship with the Lord today. Pastor Gwinn was with our family through many tough times. He dearly loved my mother and father in law and Mike's grandma. We had so many joyous times together. We are praying for the family during this difficult time.

So sad to hear this news. Gigi was one of the nicest people I ever met during my years at GE. A special person who displayed the best attitude no matter her situation. My thoughts are with her family. You will be missed Gigi.

So sorry for your loss. Marvin had such an infectious laugh that would liven up a room. I know he will be missed by you, his family, friends and church family. I pray God wraps his arms of love and comfort around you all.

Wonderful woman! Always putting others first. Remember many years together at church and choir.

Praying for family

Prayers being lifted for family.

Memory for family.

Out of 50 some years of friendship I’ve got so many good memories of Marvin. He loved his lovely wife and his family along with his Mom but more important he loved God. Marvin you received the reward you’ve worked for. You WILL be missed by so many people.

Jill, we are so sorry to know our friend and your dear companion, Marvin will not be with us here in this life but we thank God that we do know where he is! We will see him again one day soon! Our love and prayers for you and your family!

A wonderful kind woman I only new for a short time. May she rest in peace and her family be comforted by the love she had for them and they will see her again one day.

He is and always will be a great pastor. Always made me feel welcome to our church.I'll always remember he never gave up on anyone especially me.My heart goes out to his immediate family and all his extended family who came to church to listen to him preach the the words of our mighty GOD.

Had the honor of being on her team for several years at GE. Always a sweet soul and uplifted everyone around her. Thoughts and prayers to her family and friends, she was one of a kind and a really special lady.

So sorry to hear of Bobby’s passing. I just found out tonight. Please know that I will be praying for you all and Phyllis if I can do anything at all please reach out. Love to you all.

Praying for the Family and Friends May God Bless each of you and comfort you through this difficult time. So sorry to hear .... Love to All of you ❤️

WE WENT TO CHURCH WITH BRO AND SIS GWINN IN AKRON ,OHIO WHERE MY HUSBAND AND I WERE SAVED. OUR CONDOLENCES ARE WITH YOU SIS.JILL AND YOUR FAMILY. WE LOVE YOU AND PRAY FOR GOD’S PRESENCE WILL COVER YOU THROUGH THIS . WE LOVE YOU SIS.FERN. GOD BLESS YOU ALL.

Jill I am so sorry to hear of Marvin’s death. My thoughts go back to Wrightsville Avenue Church of God when we were all in church together. Brother Marvin dedicated my son Eric when he was a baby in 1988. God bless you Jill during this time and my prayers are with you.

sure was loving his Sunday services online after all these almost 50 years of being in school together. We have faith that God said well done my faithful friend as he was escorted into Heaven to join your grandpa. But sorry to hear for your sudden loss.

Great Man of GOD Will b missed

Dennis and I were heartbroken to hear of Marvin's passing. We received a special uplifting and encouraging card from he and Jill just last week. In it ,they had placed an anointed prayer cloth for God's healing power for Dennis. Included was a special passage from the bible that speaks of the miracles that God is capable of. This will always be a special memory for the both of us that we will cherish forever. We pray for strength, peace,and love forJill, Josh, Rachel, and their families.

Marvin Gwinn was a friend to all, but especially to the hurting. He would leave the crowd to find the one who needed a friend. He would not kick you if you were down, rather he would kneel down with you and offer a hand to help you get up. Our hearts are sad for the family and for ourselves, but we celebrate this man of God. Marvin Gwinn was a true Christian.

Jill, I am so very sorry for the loss of your dear husband, I know you will miss him very much but praise God, we will all be together in that Blessed Home soon. We will be praying for you. Glyn & Frank Williams

Jane’s memory is imprinted on my heart for her enduring love of Christ and the many ways her actions and words exemplified His love. Her hind ness and gentle smile is a memory of Jane I hold close. Rest easy now, Jane; you are home✝️

I only met Pastor Gwinn once. January 6, 2019. My sweet Momma was in the hospital and we weren't sure she would make it. Her pastor couldn't come, but when Rev Marvin heard how scared she was, tho he had traveled all day, he came to the hospital and shared a word and had prayer with her ✝️ He didn't know her, but God led him there as she needed him so badly. I thank God for this faithful servant that listened to his Father speak that night. Praying comfort for the family and church during this time May you find peace in the promise of our Savior that our friend will be waiting for us in Glory ✝️

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you Mrs Jill, Josh, Rachel and your families. May you feel comfort in knowing he’s rejoicing, even though our hearts will forever want them back with us.

Jane will leave an imprint on my heart for her enduring love of Christ, her gentle smile, her attention to detail, her creativity, and the joy with which she shared God’s love with others. Rest peacefully now my friend.

So sorry to hear of Marvin's passing...he was always so sweet to me whenever I seen him. He will truly be missed; Jill, Rachel, Josh and family...we are praying for you and love yall very much...prayers being lifted up! ❤

Frances and I have been dear friends since Aaron and Joey were with me at Sunset Park School. I know all of you will miss her greatly. She was one of the finest Christian women I have ever known!

Thoughts and prayers are with all of you during this time Love y'all

Gloria, sending you and your family prayers and peace.

Pastor Gwinn was such a blessing to our family he dedicated our oldest child almost 30 years ago, renewed our parent's vows, spoke at our mother's and granny's funeral, visited through many sicknesses in our family. He always had such a happy funny loving spirit about him. He will truly be missed by us and all our family. We will meet you in Heaven Pastor Marvin Gwinn. Soon and very soon. Sis. Gwinn you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. May God comfort you all and wrapped His loving arms around you giving His peace that surpasses all understanding.

So many memories with this family that I couldn't choose just one. Preacher Gwinn welcomed me into their home as another one of his "adopted" children over 20 years ago. He had a love for life, family and the Lord. He would tell me like it was if I needed to be set straight and would show me fatherly love when I couldn't lift myself. So thankful for the time I was able to share with the family from church to adventures and them giving me a life long best friend in Rachel. The cherry on top was that he married my husband and I. Rest in Peace Preacher, we will see you soon.

I met Pastor Gwinn while visiting my mother who was undergoing cancer treatment. She loved him and it showed. When visiting after her passing I still visited the the church and listened to him. He had an effect on me even in California. He was a good man and I hope his family finds comfort in knowing he is in Heaven.

We've lived next door to Gigi for over 5 years. She has been the best neighbor and friend one could ask for. Gigi was hands down one of the sweetest, kindest, and most humble people I've ever met. We became such quick friends and she has been a huge part in our families milestones. She helped my husband plan his proposal for our engagement, was the first to know the gender of our daughter as the holder for our gender reveal party, always there for birthday parties, and just hanging out in the yard. Our dogs were all best buds and she always came to play with her "grand neighbor ". She was always so much fun, wonderful sense of humor, so smart, and never ever complained about a thing. We will miss her immensely and there will never be another friend or neighbor like her. She was so loved and I pray that she and her family can find peace in this difficult time. We miss you so much Gigi.

Gigi was one of the most kind hearted person i have ever been around, always grinning, greeted everyone all the time with a wave and a smile. She had a way to brighten your day just saying hi... you will forever be in our hearts Gigi baby!

Gloria, Thinking of you and your lovely family during this difficult time.

Gigi was such a sweet soul, always nice and polite no matter whether it was a good day or not. I loved to hear her laugh and see her smile. The world needs more people like her. Already miss her. Romans 8:37-39

I will always remember that beautiful smile!!

To a wonderful man and husband, rest in peace my friend!

I will miss you my friend. I’ll miss our conversations and I’ll miss you. We supported each other through some really tough times. You never ceased to amaze me. You were so strong and courageous. Never complained! Always so laid back and that sweet smile. You were a comfort to me and I thank you. You fought a tough battle with a great attitude. You were so smart. Your GE family will surely miss you. It’s been an honor to call you my friend. My prayers have been answered because you are now healed. Fly high and kiss the sky. No more pain! ❤️

Robert, Kimi and family - So sorry to hear of Mr. Dew's passing. Please know that my thoughts are with you during this time of sadness and loss.

A wonderful person who will be missed she was a great lady

Molly, my heart is breaking for you. Rest in the loving arms of God and know that He will be your comfort during this unimaginably difficult time. it was only a short 9 months ago today that I had to my good bye to Joe, so please know I am here for you in any way that I can help or just listen. I pray for peace and strength for you and your family. Love and prayers.

Molly, I and so saddened to hear of Gary’s passing. Pam and I are keeping you and family in our prayers at this time.

We worked with Gigi for almost nine years. Such an easy person to work with and very knowledgeable. She was an amazing person with an amazing kindness. She will forever be in our hearts. Our deepest sympathy to you at this time of such great loss. May God give you peace that passes all understanding.

I sat next to Gigi for several years at GE before my retirement at the end of 2014. She was a funny and very bright lady. I am extremely sorry for your loss.

My deepest condolences.

She was the best Mom. She took such great care of my dad, sister and I. I know she is at peace and is feeling no pain. We love you Mama.

I love you Mama.

Remember yvette very well ,she left a hole in my heart that I never got over

So sorry hear about Dorothy , she was a refined southern , tough , kind lady.

The joy displayed on her face when spending any time with her grandchildren. Also, the look she gave me while in the labor and delivery room for Michael’s birth.

Mom was truly an amazing wife, mother, grandmother, and mother-in-law. I am truly thankful for her welcoming me into her family by allowing me to take her daughter Jennifer’s (one of her pride and joys) hand in marriage. She has always been there in time of need to help Jen with our boys when I was gone to training, deployments, or exercises. I firmly believe she played an instrumental role in developing our boys into the fine young gentlemen they are now and am thankful for that. She was full of love and made all those that interacted with her feel loved. We will truly miss you and that beautiful smile of yours, but we know that you are now seated at the right side of the good Lord, watching over all of us. We love you with all of our hearts and can’t wait to join you in the heavens one day.

Wes I am so sorry for your loss. My memories of Keith mostly was the laugh, he had a laugh like no other, I think he had it patented. Another thing is that year we took the boys to New York, Adirondaks, Keith and I siiting up on that big rock, looking down on you and the rest of the boys and just talking, I liked that and I think Keith did too. God Bless

Keith was always kind and loved to hear about his Grandpa "Bug" Gore from those who knew "Bug". Keith will be missed greatly.

Her Beautiful Smile & Loving Hugs. Love you Suanne

Leslie was my best friend for 31 years and was really more like a sister to me! Words cannot begin to express the impact she has had on my life and forever will. We have more great memories than I could begin to count. She gave me so much joy and love in my life. Leslie was truly the one person who understood and knew me the most. I am truly blessed that she was such an important part of my life and because of her I am who I am today. She told me she would be watching out for me and I know she will as she always did on earth as well! Till we meet again Leslie! I will forever love you!

I fell fortunate to be able to call Honeycutt my close family friend since 1982. Over the years, we've shared loves and losses, births and deaths, good times and bad. I saw him mature from that goofy kid, back in '82, to the good man, father, and husband, he became. I saw him grow strong in his faith. He made me want to be a better person. I'm still working on that! I will miss him terribly!! I want to send mine and Daves' love and condolences to Barrys' mother, he truly was special! To Wendy, to Dylan, Joshua, Caleb, Logan, Ryker, and all the extended family and friends that loved him. Rest in peace, my brother. I love you and I thank you for the love and friendship you gave me in return. Until I see you again.

I just found out about James after doing a search, I'm so sorry to hear of his passing, I worked with American Crane Corp. and would often go to his work area to talk to him about everything, I remember his good nature and wise advice, He was a GOOD man. I also remember him winning another fishing tournament in Wrightsville Beaches "King Mackerel Tournament" for catching the biggest one which I believe at the time was $50,000.00 (Of course he had to share this with his other boatmates but still he got recognition for the catch in the "Wilmington Star News". James I look forward to seeing you I Heaven and sharing in the glory of our Lord & Savior and hopefully fish with you. My condolences to all his family & friends; Sincerely; Gerry Hardin

Such a beautiful woman inside & out .Always had a smile on her face .

Over the past twelve years working together, Suanne has colored my memories and taught me many things. From my first day working together I noticed several things about Suanne: how she was such a strong person inside, how she would always bring life to the workplace, how she was always fixing things, how she was always looking for ways to improve herself and work, and mostly how she would take the time to learn, care and support all of us through the ups and downs. She was driven by a 'can do' attitude and an innate desire to leave things better than she found them. We spent many hours discussing life and work, and she was never shy to offer her thoughts on how to solve challenges. Yet even when we differed on positions she always had a way of letting you know that it was OK we did not agree. Suanne, you do what friends do - you challenge us, support us, make us laugh, and ultimately teach us to become better. You truly blessed us all and left us better than you found us. My most heartfelt condolences to Scott and her family.

Leslie was such a joy.Her smile would light up the room.

Mr. Gary Pace, Firstly, I want to start out by expressing my deepest most heartfelt condolences. I'm just finding out Mrs. Debbie has passed away. She was a very kind women and always greeted me with a smile. I worked for the both of you for years and I thank you both for giving me the opportunity to do so. To the family, please know that others care. I pray that God continues to keep you all strengthened during this time and always. Praying for you all now and always. Your former employee, Meisha Elizabeth Covington

We are so sad to lose our dear friend Ben! He was the kindest gentleman you could ever meet... and had the warmest smile you could ever see!! He can rest now from all his hard work. We'll carry on the Ministry until we have the joy of hugging him again.

You could light up a room with your smile. Somehow I have a feeling you'll be the star in the sky when I look up at night. I'm truly sad i wasnt able to say goodbye but know my heart was there. You could always cheer me up and knock some sense into me. You have a beautiful family and they're so blessed to of shared this life with you. Love you uncle bear.

I worked very closely with Leslie 2017-2019. She certainly was a firecracker! She did a great job at work and held herself to very high standards.

All my condolences to the family

She was larger than life! Her personality was infectious! I som enjoyed being around her! I feel so blessed to have met her and loved her! The world is just a lil dimmer without her!

I met Barry in March 16 2014 actually at a mutual friends Memorial. From the minute I met him I knew he was a kind man and full of life. He was an old soul and loved God and he was a family man. Family first. My heart aches for Wendy because I know they loved each other very much. She was a lucky lady to have had him in her life. My heart goes out deeply to the family. I feel privileged to have had him as a great friend. Until we meet again my friend. You have gotten your wings way to young, but there's no doubt you are still here in spirit and will be looking over the ones you cared about. Love you and will never forget you.

I met Leslie in the Spring of 2006. We were in the same work program at the beginning of our clinical research careers. We shared a lot of laughs in and out of the office and she had the best sense of humor. After I moved to Texas and lived there for a few years – she said…. “Susan - you really need to come back home to North Carolina”. I’ll never forget that conversation and Leslie - I won’t ever forget you. You will be missed. Prayers for her family and friends.

Thanks to everyone for the kind words. Dad will be deeply missed.

Suanne you are a beautiful lady inside and out. I have only known you for 8 years but you quickly went from coworker to friend during that time. You have such a wonderful true heart. You cared so deeply for all of your family, friends and needy stray animals. I wish you could have stayed longer but I know you are in a better place now. I will miss everything about you. Much love to Scott, Sal, Jax, Jayden, Wendy and your parents. I haven’t met all your family but I feel like I know them from all of our Monday morning chats over the years. Love you!

Barry was a student of mine when I taught first grade in Wilmington. Later, I taught Dylan and Joshua. I am so sorry for your loss, Wendy. Prayers are sent to comfort you and your family. Barry was such a wonderful person to once again meet when he was older.

So sorry for the family, may the lord give each of you grace to bare your burden,

I know he is in a better place bit im pissed at myself because i didn't get to see him or say good bye and i love you. Barry im sorry good bye brother and i love you.

So sorry to learn of your loss. I remember you so well. was always good to see you both when you came to our office. I lost Raymond in Dec he was 95 so you are so much in my thoughts and prayers Betty

Barry was a great son in law. He cared a lot for Wendy. He also was a real religious man so we know he's with the lord. He will be surely be missed

Leslie will certainly be missed. Her spirit was uplifting and her smile warm. I appreciated the opportunity to work with her even recently while her hopes were still high and she was herself. She has made me appreciate all that I have and to take nothing for granted. May the Lord have you in his glory in heaven.

From the time I was 5 and until the ends of time I'll always look up to barry like I do my uncle joe. He had the gift of making positive impacts in a lot of peoples lives. He was the very rare few you could find that would give you his unconditional love. I've said it too many times, but his 4th of July parties always brought people closer together. I love you guys forever and always, and if there is anything I can possibly do to help please dont hesitate to call.

Worked with Leslie on a study and became Facebook friends afterwards. We got cancer at roughly the same time and she would often send messages to cheer me up. She was a truly unique person and was a positive influence on many people. Prayers for her, her family and friends at this time.

Heaven just gained a good one! I’m thankful we were able to reconnect and see one another. I’m sure going to miss you! Love always, and until we meet again....

Barry was one of the sweetest men I knew, he loved his wife Wendy she was his world as well as his boys. I will miss my big brother and his smile. My thoughts and prayers are with Wendy and the boys.

I was honored to be your daughter. Your grace and charm is unparalleled.

I had the privilege of working with Leslie. She was a light to those around her. I will remember her smile, & her genuine care for those around her.

Time goes by to fast and the truly good people are taking from us to soon.

Suanne, girl you fought hard. I know you and Richie are having a good time. We have had so many good times together, from childhood, and all through school. I will always hold on to does memories. I’m so glad I got to visit with you. I will see you again. I Love you

Sorry, condolences, great girl

"Hey you!" I hope you are partying on a beach, singing, eating some oysters, and feeling no pain…just like old times. We love you and yours always. Scott, Sal, Jax, Jayden, (and the rest of her crew) this woman IS awesome. I am so lucky to have known her and her family, and that she always made me feel a part of it. I will think of Suanne every time I take the karaoke mic, or have an oyster roast, go four wheeling, or bargain for a better deal. Looking forward to celebrating her life, as I know she would want us to. I’m so grateful for everything she taught me. Love to all.

My heart is heavy as I think of your heavy heart. Mike was such a sweet person. He always displayed a loving attitude to everyone. Praying for all of you

Leslie’s heart and soul were truly one of a kind. I would not be the person I am today without her friendship. Knowing her changed my life forever. She was a gift to this world and now she will be my guiding light in the sky.

11 years wasn’t long enough to know her. She was beautiful and kind. Natural and spiritual. Light. Going forward, I will strive to #livelikeleslie. Love you Lunarbaybee.

We will miss you! Your laugh, stories and giant jar of pickles on your desk. Prayers for Scott and family

Love and miss you girl. You were one of a kind. You are going to be missed

It was a blessing to care for Leslie on 9300 at Duke and to learn that our families were neighbors. Praying for your family during this time.

Leslie was / is a truly magical spirit: loving, kind, beautiful and one of the brightest lights I have ever seen in my 74 years of life. I'm so glad she was born and that our paths crossed.

I’ve never met a more kind or gentle man. I’m so thankful I can call him friend. He was so loving to both of my boys. He is missed but I know we will see him again someday soon in glory. We love all of you so much.

My heart is sad, but rejoicing at the same time for the loss of this wonderful, Godly, Christian man. My thoughts, prayers, and love are with you Cheryl, Patti, Crystal, Bobby and all of his family. Mike has left a huge void, but God's love is so wonderful. Knowing we will see him again!

I only met Ed when I was a small child but I remember how much my Father, Belvin Howard, his uncle cared for him. I think at some point my Dad lived with his sister Undine and he and Ed were friends although my Dad was much older. I remember going to their farm when I was little. I would love to hear from your family and learn more about Aunt Undine, Ed’s Mom. I am very sorry for your loss. I am just finding out about his passing. God Bless you and your family.

What a beautiful and sweet soul heaven has gained. Will never forget how we both lit up when we saw each other during treatment and how we sat and talked about the good old days at Acme-Delco. You will truly be missed.

Cuz you'll be forever in my heart God speed and all my love.

You're such a beautiful girl! Always smiling and that sense of humor, well of the charts! You're a superstar! I love you and will miss you! Prayers and strength to Scott and family!! No more pain!

SuAnne, I am so glad you are with the Lord! Out of death into life! You have a new body tonight, I am so sad I will not see you again, but happy you are no longer in pain.

Our friend Mike was a good man and friend when you needed him. Gentle and kindhearted and a Christian.

To a very Godly husband and father! Mike and Cheryl where members of Oak Grove Baptist Church in Chesterfield VA. that is were I was friends with them. They were faithful servers for the Lord! Mike you will be missed but I know you are with the Lord. My prayers are with the family.

Sending sympathy to Christine and family. I knew him as a friend and close neighbor for my teenage years. Many good memories.

Fran was the kindest neighbor and friend I have ever had. Who could forget her beautiful blue eyes that lit up when she laughed? We shared so much on our long walks together even up to our last visit in North Carolina. She was a true friend and I will miss her deeply. Kevin, Erin and Cara, I am so deeply sorry for your loss. I pray that Jesus will comfort you with the peace that passes all understanding.

Uncle Jerry, We thought of you today, But that is nothing new, We thought of you yesterday and will tomorrow too. We think of you in silence and what it meant to lose you, Only those who love you know. Remembering you is easy, We do it everyday, Its the heartache of losing you, That will never go away. Love and miss you

A Million times I've needed you, A million times I've cried, If love alone could have saved you, you never would have died, In life I loved you dearly, In death I love you still, In my heart you hold a place, No one else can ever fill, It broke my heart to lose you, But you didn't go alone. Part of me went with you, The day God took you home. Miss you mom

Mike Hartley was a very good man I didn't know him very long but what I knew of him was a great man he always arrived early for the bread Ministry it was one of the last people to leave after we prepared to give up with he also made a great impact on our family by when he came to see our mom when she was going in for surgery in state what does most of the day I pray that I get to see him again in heaven he was a loving husband I loving father and a loving grandfather and he was always a very committed guy we'll all miss him, God bless

So sorry for your loss. Thinking of you and praying for your family

Our thoughts and prayers are with you. May The Lord be with you . Love you all!

Such a Godly man. Kind, soft spoken, gentle, sweet man of God. Thank you for all the memories and sitting and talking with my daddy wether at the house or taking time to go see him at the hospital. You were Papa to all of us. I know you’re walking the streets of gold with Jesus now....❤️ or fishing

I am a high school classmate of Paul Ford, and have been a fan of his encouraging smile and positive attitude for decades! He was a fighter - even way back in the Fredericksburg Christian High School weightlifting days! So sad to hear of his passing, but so happy to know he is with Jesus, completely whole, with a new heart and a new body! May God comfort his wife and children in this terribly difficult time.... Prov 3:5-6

I am a high school friend of Paul’s, and we kept in touch throughout the years. He was a fighter, even way back in Fredericksburg Christian High School, where we lifted weights together! So sad to hear of his passing, but we know he is safe in Jesus’ arms and has a new heart and a new body! May God comfort his family....

So very sorry to hear about one of the sweetest friend anyone would love to have. So many memories of many years. Glenn Was there for his family and friends always. We use to play basketball, hangout at the beach, appreciate good music and life and love. He was surrounded by the greatest family. Kim, Gary and Melrose. He was known by everyone and their wasn't a person who didn't love him for just being good and true to us all. You will be missed my friend forever. Rest in peace ❤️

So very sad to hear of Glenn’s passing. Always a gentleman with a genuine heart. Heartfelt condolences to Gary and all of Glenn’s family and loved ones. RIP my friend and I’m glad to know I will see you in Heaven.

So sorry to hear about Carol's passing. I had the privilege to know her for over twenty years. She will be greatly missed.

Sorry for your loss. She will be missed.

Glenn was as good a person that I ever was friends with. He was older than me and he would share anything he had with me. He always had a job and he always practiced two a days in the summer getting prepared for Hoggard football season. Later in life we played slow pitch softball with the guys we grew up with from Sunset Park and others of course from Wilmington. We called him Charlie Hustle because of his spirit in the way he played. I loved the man like a brother.

Jerry was by my side for sixty one years. We stood together through the bad times and the good. The best times were the two sons we shared Jerry and Tim. We were a family and there was always love. Though his health was failing he still remained strong. He will be missed by his family and friends. But knowing he is at peace and out of pain will help us through this. I love you and your spirit will always be close by me.

Jerry was my brother-in-law. He will be missed. Prayers and love for my sister Bobbie and my nephews Jerry and Tim.

Jerry was my brother-in-law. He will be missed. Thoughts and love to my sister and my nephews. He is no longer in pain and is at peace.

Jerry was my brother in law. I have know him since I was six years old. He was a good and caring man. I will remember the good times and I know he is at peace and free of pain. Rest in Peace Jerry.

RIH Mr. Howard.

My thoughts and prayers to the entire Howard family, especially my girl...Kayla Howard. Wayne loved that girl! I have very fond memories of him as a great parent at Bradley Creek School. He was always very kind to me. We had many talks and he was a parent I always really admired.

Sending my deepest sympathy to Christine and all the family. I have many nice memories of Cousin Allen from childhood. My thoughts are with you.

I love you Grandpa ♥️

Always had a great time whenever we were hanging out, always upbeat and ready for a good time. I'll cherish all the crazy road trips and all nighters shooting pool at the house. Great man, he'll be missed for sure.

Jerry was my brother-in-law. He and my sister Bobbie were married 61 years. They will see each other again. He is at peace now with God.

Sorry for y’all loss of Mr. Howard I have knew this family for many many years. I loved coming into the seafood market seeing them and was so hurt when they passed it on. My oldest daughter’s grandfather was one of his workers, everyone knew JR soon as they enter the door. I would see them all the time when our girls was in the same class. Rest on Mr. Howard you may now take your rest

To my dear cousin, how dearly you will be missed. Your now home and at peace. No more pain and anguish, no more fighting. I love you and will think about you often thinking of all the good times and fun we have had together. The incredible memories that I will never forget. Say high to Grammy and your mother for me.

He loved talking about his family and the fishing trips they took together and I told him how I grew up going fishing with my family. It brought back a lot of good memories for the both of us. Jefferson was a good friend and always will be.

Jefferson was a true patriot and friend. You’re truly missed by so many people. RIP in our FATHERS home beyond the stars and rainbows where life goes on and on... ✨

Judy I'm so sorry for your loss. PRAYING for you and the family.

Carlos was a one-name celebrity for sure! He always made us smile-no matter the circumstances! His fancy dance moves, infectious laugh, and endless stories will never be forgotten! I wish I could meet another Carlos but I know I never will! I am so blessed to have been his friend and thankful for all the wonderful memories I have to share about our times together! With love and heartfelt sympathy, Elaine

I am praying for your family during this time. I have so many fond memories of Paul from our youth group years at Mt Ararat Baptist Church, youth council, youth choir, mission trips and more. I am thankful that he isn’t in pain and is reunited with his precious Mama, but I know the ache of him not being here with you all. I am so thankful for the promise of Heaven!

Charlie, Brad and I are so very to learn of Paul's passing. Keeping you and the kids in our hearts and prayers.

My memories of Paul go back to when he was a child. We used to play tennis together. I watched him grow up into an incredible man. Although I am not a member of his immediate family he will always be family to me in my heart. I send prayers to his family at this time. Paul always had great faith in God and that's how he lived his life. Rest in Peace Paul

My heart is so heavy... Please know that I have never ever seen such a fighter and always with the fact that God was in control. He loved the Lord .. He was a wonderful example to all of us. I know you are at peace Paul ...loving and praising your savior. You will be missed..

Judy I am so sorry to hear about Wayne or as I always just called him Howard. He always watched out for me since the day I met him. Anytime I needed his help he was there. I will miss him.

His little face when I got him to drink olive oil and lemon juice for kidney stones. The look on his face was priceless. But he said I know you only made me do that cause you love me.

I met Carlos some twenty years ago when he began catering for our annual company events. Not only was Carlos an amazing cook, but he was also fun to be around and always got a laugh out of me. Rest in peace my friend, you old charmer you!

He was airborne just like the Ranger I lost many years ago. He was wonderful to have a conversation with...he really listened and tried to help...I miss him! I'm overwhelmed with sorrow for your loss.

Wayne always tried to make the best of any situation.

To the family of Russell Wayne Howard: please my most sincere confirm jences for your loss. Wayne will be truly missed.

So many memories with you over the past 38 years, and most, are ones of us laughing! Dearest friend, you are in my heart forever.

Hugs and love to my great grandpa with all my heart! Will miss you so. Riley

My prayers going out to Kat family. She was truly are very strong woman. She will be in our hearts forever.

RIP Jefferson!

I

Judy, so sorry for Wayne's passing. I grew up in Seagate. I ran a place called gameroom so we go back along way. May God give you and the rest i of your family the comfort you will need to get by.

Paul was such a great man. He had a kind heart and such a helpful and positive character. He loved his family and was an awesome warrior for Christ! He was an awesome “Dance Dad” , as I knew him! RIP Paul! Prayers for Charlene and the entire family!

My condolences to you and the kids. Hearing the news was difficult. I didn’t get to know Paul as personally as some but the impact he had in the few conversations with me and my son were a blessing. We bonded over the relationship the Bradon and my son had, I remember the first thing he said when he introduced himself was that he was my son’s other parent lol. He had a big heart and his love for God showed so brightly. It was an honor knowing him and the family. My prayers are with you!! Rest In Peace Paul

I'll never forget when my husband was deployed a year in Afghanistan and we had a tornado side swipe our home in Camp Lejuene. He was a little over an hour away in Wilmington but he and the family headed up the next morning to help me and the boys out. Our yard was a mess. A tree had blown over and up to the front porch. He literally chopped it apart and helped me clean up the property. He also made sure it didn't look like I had any leaks, just missing shingles. He had to drive around blocked streets to get to the house. His kindess was endless and he'd give you the shirt off his back. Miss you and your kind spirit. Rest peacefully my friend. Love you Charlene, Brayden and Brooklyn.

I met Carlos through his dear friend Rick Hoppe. I will always remember his laugh and what an incredibly sweet person he was. I was also privileged to have him cater my wedding and naturally he did a phenomenal job. I will cherish my memories of Carlos. My condolences to his family.

Paul had a light that was always on. He was a positive influence on so many people. I will always remember him as a Godly man and as good friend, good family man. He loved Charlene and his kids. I am sorry for your loss. Praying for you Charlene, Braydon and Brooklyn

This news hit me hard! Mike and I absolutely adored Paul and are so saddened by this. Charlene you and the kids are in our thoughts and prayers. I am so sorry! If we were still in NC I would be there in a heartbeat to celebrate his life. The only positive in this is he will be with his mom in heaven who I know he missed dearly. My love to the family.

Paul was a good friend and he loved his family very much. He did everything he could for his family. Growing up with Paul in the church he was a fun guy to hang out with. He has fought hard over the past year and he had a strong faith. He loved the lord and never gave up. My family and I prayed for him and his family daily! I pray that he finds rest and peace and is having a great time up in heaven with his mom and grandma.

I am so sorry for your loss. I meet Mr. & Mrs. Ford a long time ago when their son was in my second grade class. He had a sweet spirit and would do whatever he could for anyone. I was lucky to have meet him. I am praying for strength through this time for his wife , children and family. You may not understand buy God knows best. Love you Ford family.

The first time I met Carlos was back in 1986. A group of us were cruising Wrightsville Beach in his convertible in which he called his "Golden Chariot". Carlos remained my good friend and buddy all these years since that memorable and fun filled night. I feel so blessed for having Carlos as my friend and in my life for the past thirty-four years. So many great memories and each loaded with laughter and nonstop fun! I will truly miss his great sense of humor and wonderful, positive attitude. Rest in peace "Babycakes"

Paul spent many days and nights at our home. His Mom, Wendy, worked varied hours, and Paul and Scot were often at our house. Ryan was Paul's age, and Kyle was Scott's age.Wenfy and I coached soccer for Scott and Kyle's teams.Paul had dyslexia---but was do smart!! He pretty much memorized the soccer rule book, and was a good player!! He was often responsible for Scott when Wendy worked, and had us help discipline a few times He loved his little Brother, and so loved his Mother! His love for Jesus was evident early on, and he was never happier than when he was helping someone. I spent a lot of days on Messenger with him this past year, and his Family was the only thing on his mind! We visited him numerous times at Duke, all he wanted was for them to be OK! Rest in that love Charlene, Brandon and Brooklynn. He will always be with you, cheering you on, wanting you to be happy! He truly was the BEST man, and we loved him!

Grateful that Paul shared his journey with us. Paul played soccer with our boys and attended Mt. Ararat Church with us. We'll miss him, but so glad he's with Jesus. Love to Charlene and his sweet children. Linda Black ❤

Paul was one of the first people to talk to me when I started working at the restaurant. We immediately had a family connection. The brother I never had. Paul was annoying, crazy, kind hearted, and full of life. The day he married Charlie was the happiest I had ever seen him. He loved her and those kids with everything he was. The world lost a good man, but I know he’s safe and pain free with his mom. He will be forever remembered and forever missed. Rest easy, brother.

So Sorry to hear this about Wayne he loved his family. Family was everything to Wayne. Praying for comfort and peace for the family

Rest easy Wayne. You were always so kind, generous and willing to help in any situation. Thank you for the beautiful she shed office you made me, all the great seafood events you invited us too and for all the fishing excursions with my husband. You will be truly missed. Praying for Judy and Chris and Kayla and all your family. ❤️

Carlos was our chef when I worked at Bridge Tender in 1979 and 1980 - he taught me how to make everything from scratch from desserts to salad dressings. And he made us all laugh the entire time. It was mandatory! He impacted my life immensely and whenever I am preparing large family meals I think of him because it took him both years to teach my how to use a knife properly. Carlos lives in my kitchen. Condolences to the family.

We are so sad to learn about Carlos’ passing. We have known him for years as “Caterer Extraordinaire” and friend. We were aware off his long fought health issues. Heaven just gained an incredible Angel. Rest In Peace my friend.

Gllynn was a Saturday morning golf partner back in the 70"s. We enjoyed many outings and had a great friendship. Barb and I will continue to be close friends with Annette and the boys. Doug & Barbara Morgan

So sorry George for your loss. I didnt know him, but it sounds he had the same sweet spirit as your mother, that I had the pleasure of working with so many times. God bless you and your family.

Kayla, Your Dad was a good family man and loved you all so much. God Bless your family in this difficult time.

I read the condolence that Precious Bernard posted about Paul and what he did from his hospital bed in setting up the parade this Saturday for the Seniors at North Brunswick High School. I have known Paul for 9 years and he would go out of his way to help anyone that needed it, especially for the youth in town. He has been there for my family and my children for many years, both of my children who are 20 years old and 26 years old now, have a special bond with Paul. He is just an amazing person. A mentor, a friend, a dad, a husband and most of all a Christian. He is such a special person and going to be missed dearly. He supported many youth kids here locally, going to their high school games and just being there for them. I can truly say, God has gained a precious angel and he is going to be missed so much by everyone in the community. I love you Paul and you will forever be in our hearts.

Wayne was a great guy, always willing to help with any project. He was a very hard worker and had a great personality, He will be missed by all of us at the car lot ! I was proud to call him my friend !

I did not know Mr. Ford personally, but boy did he impact my life in a great way. While I was the administrator for the Adopt a Senior project in Brunswick County, he reached out to me and asked me to allow him to network with the individuals in the group to plan a parade for the North Brunswick High School Seniors. I agreed and little did I know that he was planning all of this from a hospital bed. I did not find this out until this morning, when I heard of his passing, and it brought tears to my eyes. I am so grateful that I was graced with his presence even for a short time, but even more grateful for the testimony that he shared without speaking a word; serve your fellow man! He served his community and was selfless until the very end. He did exactly what he set out to do, and now hundreds of Seniors will be celebrated because of his love for his fellow man. It was my plan to congratulate him on Saturday, and I did not get the chance to. Soar with the angels and Rest In Peace, Mr. Ford! Thank You so very much for ALL you did for the Class of 2020!!! Your efforts did not go unnoticed. My prayers are with his family. May God comfort, strengthen, and give them peace during this difficult time!!!

Wayne always helped me out anytime I fished in his area even though we competed against each other and I did the same when he was in my area. You couldn't ask for a nicer, helpful person. I will miss him.

We wern't sisters by birth But we knew from the start That fate has brought us together To be sisters by heart. I will miss you forever.

Beautiful, fun times, heart of gold are words that come to mind when I think about Kat. Grateful to have had the opportunity to know her in the brief time in my life. My deepest sympathy to Nick and her family. I am sure she is having a great time with the angels telling them how much she loved you all.

We were so sorry to hear about Carol Lynn’s passing. Please feel our love and prayers. May God bring you and your family peace and comfort.

I wish that I had gotten to meet Kat...she brought love and joy to my Cousin Nicky and for that I am eternally grateful. Rest In Peace.

Wonderful memories of Glynn. Optimist club, little League baseball and golfing with he and U. J.

Wonderful memories of Glynn for years in Optimist club, little League baseball, and later golfing with Glynn and U J.

Dear Emily and Clayton and families, my thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.

Carlos made a lot of friends here at Davis during his stay. He had a great sense of humor and could always make the staff laugh even when he didn't feel well. He left an impression here. He will be greatly missed. Prayers going out to his family and friends. From the staff at the Davis Community

I extend my sincere condolences to Carols family. Truly saddened to hear of his passing. Carlos was a classmate at NHHS and we graduated in the same class. He was always such an amiable person who seemed to enjoy all aspects of life. I admire anyone that has the ability to cook great food, and to be able to share that love with all of many friends. He will be missed by us all , and will be remembered at our 50th high school reunion.

I was so sorry to hear the sad news about Rachel. She was such a Sweet and pretty girl. Her family and Brent will continue to be in my prayers. Safe travels to those heading to Florida. Sincerely, Pam Johnson

You light the world up with your laugh and stories. A legend who is missed. Sorry for your loss to George and the family. Carlos was a gentle soul who loved and cared deeply. Que pasa Carlos!

Carlos was a brother and a friend. We had so many good times together so many years ago. You always made me laugh my friend. To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. I extend my condolences to George and all of the family.

Kathryn, I had the privilege of getting to know your Dad and Mom when I lived there for only a year, but many visits back ALWAYS included visits to see them. I am so sorry for your loss and will miss the stories. Love you.

What a priviledge it was to have known Kat. Just short snippets during a quick drive to work, we talked of shared health issues and how they impact us. She was genuine and had a great sense of humor. She is and will be missed by those of us who were fortunate to have known her.

My condolences for your loss. I had the privelege of meeting your dad years ago..May he rest in peace.

I send prayers and my condolences to Carlos Brunetti’s family. I had the pleasure of meeting Carlos December 5, 2018 in Downtown Wilmington, NC at Fat Tony’s. Don Shockley introduced us. I’ll always remember how sweet and kind he was. His smile was contagious too. I also had the pleasure conversing with Carlos about cooking. May God blanket you in his love, give you peace and comfort you at this time.

I was blessed to have been one of Mr. Brunetti's nurses at Davis. Such an amazing, sweet, kind, and easygoing man. He was always so thankful for everything that was done for him. Even with all of his health issues, he never complained. He is loved and will be missed by all of his Davis "angels".♥️

To the family I send my condolences. A very sweet and considerate man, I had the pleasure of taking care of him at Davis Rehabilitation Center and no matter what was going through his mind he’s was sooo appreciative of everything we did for him

Dear Sherri, Kathy and family, I am so sorry for the loss of your dad. I have many fond memories of being at your childhood home growing up. Your dad and I shared the same birthday and I would think of him every year. In younger years, I would call to wish him “ Happy Birthday “ and we would have a nice chat. I remember all your brothers and sisters, as well as your mom and always felt welcomed at your home. All of you are in my thoughts and prayers at this difficult time. My Deepest Sympathy and much Love, Kay A Davis

George was such a kind and friendly neighbor, the Dad to one of my classmates, Kay and her older brother, Freddie, and a long-time active member of Alamance Presbyterian Church. I always though he had an interesting job working at Greensboro Coliseum, wondering about all the famous people he met, and important events he witnessed in person! I am so glad that my Mom and Dad were able to purchase a small piece of his land before they moved, to make a nice second entrance into our farm! Mr. Staley is worshiping our Lord now in person, beside his daughter, Kay!

Our hearts and prayers are with you and your family during this very difficult time.

Rachel was a beautiful soul full of love and life. Our family loved the time she and Audrey spent with us. Our hearts are broken and our prayers are with Audrey, Tony, her mother, Brent and her family.

So many wonderful memories of Paula. Junior high, high school. We had so many fun times, lots of laughter, just a wonderful, kind person and friend. Hold on to those wonderful memories of your loved one. Your family is in my prayers.

My deepest condolences. A beautiful soul has left this earth. May God bring you all solace during this difficult time.

All our love and prayers for healing and peace are with you always.

Jeffrey was a sweet wonderful spirit that will be missed. We had good talks about Gane of Thrones which he loved and he was an animal lover.

My heart felt prayers goes out to the family

I had the pleasure of knowing Jeff, but I called him nephew. We were roommates, we worked together, and he was a great friend. We killed a LOT of brain cells together, laughed a LOT, and I can't say I have one negative memory of our time together on this rock. Hang with Uncle Jim "Yumpin", he'll show you the ropes. Until I see you again my friend. Much love!

To Betty's Family, I am shocked and saddened to hear of Betty's passing. I met her via Radio Station friend on Facebook. She was one of our friends, since 2010.She was so sweet, knew and loved her music,she loved meeting our little groups friends. . She was a joy to know. I just wished to have met her in person. Sending you best wishes, healing energies, thoughts & Love. Cassie J. Fox

I was so saddened to hear that Jeff, "Uncle Buck", had passed. I do not think I have memory of spending time at my Aunt Marion and Uncle Alan's house that doesn't include Jeff. As soon as he saw you, he was coming in for a hug and had genuine excitement to see you, made you feel loved and cared for. I know that we will grieve his passing, but I am comforted in knowing he is in better place.

My condolences to Betty’s sons & family in your loss of a great lady.. I have known Betty since high school along with all her family. Betty was a beautiful girl in her teens as she was until the day she left you guys. Her children was her sunshine, the Lord was her strength. She will be missed by many. Rest In Peace my friend.♥️♥️

We were so sorry to hear the sad news about your mom. As the days go by, try and think of fun times together, and not the sad ones. Prayers continue. Sincerely, Dexter and Pam Johnson

Aunt Betty you will be loved and Miss you we always will have special place in my heart .RIP

Aunt Betty RIP you were a beautiful person u always looked up to you We will all miss you

Sweet Catherine....... I cannot begin to explain our relationship. You were so much more to me than a friend. We didn’t have to talk all of the time, we always were able to pick up where we left off like true family does. Almost 17 years of friendship gave me so much laughter, tears and healing but most of all I had an amazing human being in my life. Thank you Catherine for all that you were and all that you gave to me in my life. No one will ever know the bond you and I shared and it will forever remain that way. You lifted me up, taught me a craft that enabled me to support myself, gave me a home with you and your Grandmother in order to show me true unconditional love and help me in my time of need. We shared so much (even matching tattoos) but most of all we shared a mutual love and respect for one another that will forever remain with me. I love you so much but you knew that... You were the bake to my shake and things will never be the same without you. I know you are smiling, laughing and probably licking someone’s chicken wing right now while giving everyone your best Beyoncé walk... Sk8R done sister.. Shake n Bake forever. Until our souls meet again. Peace and love to her family and everyone that knew her. To her parents, thank you for giving me such a blessing. I am eternally grateful.

My brother, my life long friend, I'll miss you more than I can put into words, no matter where you were at, you were always in my heart, thought and prayers, I love you Jerry, and, untill we meet again, ride on brother, the winds always at gonna be at your back now ~ I'm glad you were in my life, I'm the better for it ~

Praying for you, Paul, Joanna, and the rest of the family. I only spoke to your mother once, as a result of that conversation I know she was proud as could be of you! You were a good son!

My heart is breaking. So sorry for your loss. He was a pleasure to be around and always smiling.

Betty was a friend for over 50 years. Let love of family, especially her sons Jason and Paul was paramount in her life. A true Southern lady. The world is a darker place without her. Thoughts and prayers for all of you.

In Memory of a Wonderful Friend

My heart shares your sorrow as I remember a really geniune and sweet friend. My first memories of Paula include that sweet contagious smile that many have already mentioned. Since high school, when our paths would cross, we were able to pick up our conversation as though there had never been a lapse in time. I know without a doubt two of her greatest accomplishments were her boys and no doubt you both feel the void of her passing... my prayers are that your sweet memories will help to turn your tears into smiles in the days and months ahead. May God bless you both with abundant peace that can only come from knowing him and knowing that one day there will be a great reunion day! John 14:3

My deepest condolences to Barbara and family. I worked for Marty from 1980 to 1985. He was always so kind and generous to me and offered me such wisdom and good advice along the way. I have thought of him so fondly thru the years. Rest in peace Dear Sir till we meet again.

I'm so sorry for your loss. Paula and I grew up going to school together. I was able to spend many weekends with Paula at the beach, dancing and having so much fun!! I will miss her so much. You will never be forgotten.

Prayers going up for the family

My deepest and sad condolences go out to the family of Betty Caywood Frick, I am so very sorry for your loss, child of Grace Jolly Caywood, and Mr. Caywood..sending up prayers for the family and friends.

Jerry, I've loved u 32 years. We have an amazing son. I will always miss you

Ill make you proud

Paula has always been part of my life and family. To me she was more than a friend. I could tell her anything and she was like a mom, sister , and friend to me. I love her a lot and she was always smiling but she would glow when she would speak of her boys. Your mom truly loved yal and she’s with you still. She’s just a wonderful person.

Kat was like no one I had ever met. When I first came to the main lab for some odd reason we connected. She was a very quick witted individual that knew how to have fun and was full of life. She would listen to my problems and in return I would listen to hers and throughout the years we grew extremely close. We shared everything whether it be good or bad, her very first ferry ride to Southport. She had a sense of humor like no other. I was so honored to be there throughout all of her struggles. I was so Blessed to have known her and to be able to witness the beautiful marriage of Nick and Kat. Rest in Peace my friend. Love you up to God.

In Loving Memory Of A Beautiful Lady with a Beautiful Soul. Go Rest High On That Mountain our beautiful friend.

You were there the day I was born. my uncle was your best man at your wedding, and you were one of my father's closest friends. you and Gi were the only two men I ever loved because I knew you loved me too. I've spent every day since you left thinking of you I try everyday to be a good man because you told me bad guys get nowhere but prison and I promised you I'd break that cycle you were the first person to see my son came in the hospital I'll never forget the nurse asking if we knew a tattoed biker guy and I told them they better let my uncle Jerry in right now we came to Grandma's the first day out if the hospital with him you were more then my uncle you were my friend and I'll always love you and you were right I should have took more damn pictures gone but never forgotten until we meet again tell GI he's a dick but I love all of you.

Wow this seems like a bad dream. Can't believe you went and left us. But now your in a Bigger, brighter and beautiful place and with your Dad,Mom and George and Dale. What's Billie gonna do? Lol I remember the times we would sneak over to BradyLake and you and Billie would come swoop us up and we ne having drinks and just talking about life. Then the time we all was at Bill Bush's and it was snowing and car decided to come hit his house. God Bless you hug you momma and George for me. RIP MY FRIEND

I am sorry for the loss of Jerry. He was my best friend and I considered him my brother. I am going to miss his weekly phone calls asking for advice more then he will ever know. I will miss his laugh and calling me a dumb ass more than anything. Over the last to years I can't tell you how many times he had told me to turn to god with all of my problems and things will get better. He was an amazing man and an even more amazing friend. I will never forget the night my wife and I spent at the house with him and his mom putting up the Christmas tree and decorations we gave them. I will never forget the love he had for his mother and the tears he had in his eyes when he seen how happy and proud she was of him. Out of all the things this amazing man taught me in my life the most important thing was to have unconditional love for friends and family. My wife and I are deeply sorry for Jerry's families loss. Fly high Jerry, be my Guardian Angel and look after me buddy, and don't be a stranger it is okay to check in from time to time but don't stay long because heaven needs you. We will love you for ever brother.

I am so sorry such a very sweet and beautiful lady always smiling always happy you will be missed by all love and god bless to her family and f riends

We lived beside Paula growing up. A free spirit and beautiful soul.❤️

Dear Kevin, Erin, Kara and families, May the constant love of family and friends soften your sadness, may cherished memories bring you moments of comfort and may lasting peace surround your grieving hearts. Rest In Peace my dear friend. Our love always, Nancy, Nick and Kevin

I would like to say that Not only was Paula a beautiful girl she had a beautiful heart and soul. She will be missed. I Will Always Love You!

I am so glad I got to call Paula a friend. She was always so much fun to be around and always smiling her beautiful smile. I loved our girls weekend trips to Myrtle Beach..loved our girls dinners. Paula you will be missed...

Dear Ursula, Shari, and Ronnie- For some reason I had been thinking of Ron and went on the internet to get a contact number for him which I no longer had. I am heartbroken to see that he is gone. I am his first cousin and born in Lawrence the same year as he and enjoyed sharing some sweet memories of Beverly Street with him. I was proud of how well he did and especially what a good man he turned out to be. Please let me know when services will be held for him.

Always friendly when she came to her moms home and I was there. So sorry to hear this. Keeping family in prayers.

Kat was the life of a party.Always made me laugh when we would talk gonna miss seeing your big smile and you .Rest in peace no more sickness or pain just walk around Heaven all day long.

God called a beautiful angel with an infectious smile that would bring sunshine on a cloudy day . Prayers go out to your family during this difficult time . John 3:16

My memories of me and you playing as young children is forever my cherished memory,there's too many to write. We just lived life❣. Hanging out at lunches during jr.high is very fond to me.

I thought of you today, but that is nothing new. I thought of you yesterday and days before that too. I think of you in silence, I often speak your name. All I have are memories and a picture in a frame. Your memory is a keepsake from which I'll never part. God has you in his arms, I have you in my heart. Love you mom Always and Forever

A special person with the most beautiful smile. Rest in peace.

Lena— May you be blessed with peace and comfort! I miss you and send love hugs and condolences ♥️

Love you and miss your beautiful smile

There is not enough space or words to describe Paula Jean, I have no idea why I called her that. Paula and I were roommates back in 1980 she always had the whitest tinny shoes. I would come home from work and she would have cleaned my tinny shoes to look like new. We sat on the porch steps many nights and talked about the guys who loved her but heart was always with Stuart. Paula worked hard and never asked anyone for anything. That bright yellow mustang she drove with her stick shift she was proud of, she told me one night on the steps, I sure never thought I would have a hot car like that. I remember telling her it’s because you are hot! She just laughed. Paula was full of such love she loved her nephew Dewayne, she was such a great sister to Steve and always made sure her mom was cared for. I remember her wedding she was the most beautiful bride I had ever looked at. Being a mother was her greatest love she lived her life for both of her boys. It was her greatest treasure. Paula was so proud of both her sons and she would say everyday I want my boys looked after please. Paula never judged people and loved everyone, she was very smart and worked very hard. No one ever met her and did not love her, when she walked in the room with that smile the room would light up. Everyone loved her. Being the strong person she was gave her strength to fight to live. I have never seen anyone fight the battle like she did. Paula loved life and she had faith until her last breath. I will miss her very much. I not only lost a best friend I lost a daughter as well. May she be at peace and shine as always. ❤️✝️ Love you Paula Jean

To my true Love and life partner, I have to say this has been the most devastating thing in my life. I have lost my Best friend, the love of my life, my cooking partner, my traveling companion, someone with a great sense of humor and a loving heart. If you needed a shoulder to cry on, or you needed help, Gloria was there. It's hard to just let go after 35 years together, I look at her picture ( the one shown) and cry every night, missing that beautiful smile and the Kiss each night before we went to sleep. This is one of Gloria's last text messages to me before she passed : Dear Heavenly Father plz watch over the man reading this message. I want him to know that the Love we have together will never die. We will Love each other forever. As I ask in Jesus name Amen. I Love You Honey

Have wonderful memories of Paula dating back to junior high school. We shared many wonderful memories through the years. One of the most special people I have ever known! I will always miss and love her!! Rest in piece my beautiful friend!!!

My Condolences to the family. Paula was a Wonderful person May she rest in peace.

Such a sweet lady. Always found a way to laugh and smile. Prayers to the family

Our family is deeply saddened at the loss of my grandma (MiMa.) She was a very kind lady who loved to cook! She would often spread her good cooking throughout her community while she prepared a full course meal for someone who was sick or for the family of a loved one that was lost. She was a true Christian and a believer of our Lord. I know she was finally dancing again when she reached the gates of heaven! We love you and will miss you and I pray that you watch over all of us and keep us safe. Until we meet again...love Jenna.

Dear Lena, so very sorry to hear about Frenchie. Hugs and prayers for you and your family.

Barbara- I worked with Walt at SSA 's Computer EDP systems on the Midnight shift back in 1968-69 when were gaining IBM systems & supervisory experience before going to day shift as Programmers. As an operator & programmer, Walt was always at the top of his game & kept things lively (just short of animal house) when things were boring & dull. We were all just a bunch of young mid 20 year old "hot shot" early self-proclaimed computer whiz & Walt was one of the sharpest of the bunch. I remember when we got off in the morning after midnight, whenever Walt was going out onto Security Blvd in his 1963 Chevy Impala, & he say me in my 1963 Ford Galaxie XL, Walt would try to get me at the stoplight so we could drag race down Security Blvd. Good memories of a unique time with a good group of guys. I'm sorry this is a late entry, but I attended a SSA Credit union "virtual meeting" where I learned of Walt's passing along with that of another previous board member and their past dedication was remember in a moment of silence. Back in the day, I used to see Walt in the Credit Union & we exchanged some memories of those old mainframe computer days, and of course, those drag races between both our 1963 cars (Chevy v. Ford). Believe it or not, I still have that 1963 Ford, tagged & insured. I can only now offer my sincere condolences at your loss but fond memories & good stories are the valued jewels of remembrance.

I always looked to Kat for pure unfiltered discussions, and she was happy to supply. She was so brave. She always held her children and grandchildren so close to her heart, and she was so proud of each and every one of them. I will miss seeing her and hearing about her family, and getting updates in a way that only Kat knew how to do. Rest peacefully Kat, you are missed.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and family!

I met Marie when my mother after her own retirement decided to help others who needed a friend as well as share time with. My mom would tell me about all their outings, lunches & many other activities together. Now and then I'd go to lunch with them or visit Marie when my mother was with her. There was rarely a time that I'd call my mother and not speak to Marie as well. Marie brought my mother many happy moments and my mother became a very close friend to her as well. She will be deeply missed & I'm grateful to had known her. My prayers and condolences to Donna and their beautiful family.

Words may not suffice to express the heartfelt sorrow that I feel for the passing of Kat. She was a very outspoken, knowledgeable, and a asset to the laboratory family. She will be definitely be missed. Please accept my heartfelt condolences.

My Aunt Marie was loving, kind-hearted, prim and proper, the epitome of Southern charm and manners. She was a professional woman ahead of her time. She loved her family, was always cooking something yummy and shared many recipes with my mom, her sister in law Becky Clegg, which my family still enjoy today. I’m sure Uncle Hoyt greeted her at the gates with our Lord and savior. Donna, may you and your family continue to be blessed with good memories of days past. With much love and sympathy, Leslie

I’m so sorry for your loss. Paula and I went to school together. She was such a sweet person. You all will be in my thoughts and prayers.

I will miss all our conversations and laughs the past 11 years. May you rest in peace.

So sorry for your loss.I had the pleasure of working with Kevin at Walmart . Though I didn’t know him long that didn’t seem to matter because his smile and laughter made me feel like I had known him a lifetime. Kevin , You will be missed .

I only have fond memories of Paula, she was always smiling. She was beautiful inside and out. My thoughts and prayers are with ya'll.

Paula, Thank you for the great memories and for being such a great friend. You will be missed. My condolences to your family. Gods Speed. Joe

Kitty Kat your smile, your sass and most of all your presence will be greatly missed. No one else could say "hey Miss Gandy" like you!! I will cherish all of our laughs and conversations. I love you and I know you look amazing with your new wings.

Great person to work with, always had a smile, and great since of humor. We will dearly miss her presence. My you find the comfort you need as you reflect on your memories.

I worked with John for almost 10 years. No matter what you would always get a how are you doing, when you called to ask him something. He is and was a great man! There is a void in the Holmes family.. He will be greatly missed!

The world will miss the sweet spirit James Aaron projected from that infectious smile those sparkling eyes. Love knows no boundaries - even those that divide Heaven and Earth. So whenever you feel down, just remember your hearts are connected. May all of his family & friends, which were one & the same find solace in their irreplaceable memories of James. Felicia, May his love wrap you in warmth.

Always a very kind man. Condolences to Charle Michelle and the rest of the family. Praying for you all.

I will miss going into the office and Johnny asking me how I was doing and how is my family. Our two families go way back to when he lived two doors down from us when we grew up. He was a caring man that would do about anything for anyone. He was always willing to do whatever was needed to make sure our customers were taken care of. He will be missed very much at Holmes!

We are so sorry to hear of the loss of Fran, she was a beautiful woman and full of spirit. Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with her family and loved ones during this difficult time.

Peace at last.

Mrs Bartholow was a kind gentle spirit who I remember so well from my childhood. Stanley and I were close friends growing up god rest his soul. Mr.& Mrs Bartholow were both sweet , kind, hard working people . I never heard them utter a cross word about anything. I know they are truly happy to be together and reunited with their children. God bless them all,may they R.I.P.

Wayne is the king of kindness the best friend anyone could ever have.

I loved Wayne ‘s voice. I last saw him and heard him sing a few years ago at Bob Fredere’s home on Gibson Av. Getting the band together again in the garage. Wonderful time. I know Wayne will be greatly missed. My condolences to his family.

I first met Wayne and Billy when I was 9. We remained close friends up to his passing. He is a sweet man. I miss our long conversations, writing music and singing. I love you, Wayne. Bobby

My brother and best friend. Greatest Uncle to my kids and Godfather to my daughter. So many cherished memories. We will carry you in our hearts forever and always.

In memory of our beloved son and brother. He was also a husband who adored and loved his wife and daughter more than anything in the world. He is survived by a large family, including in-laws, of aunts, uncles, nieces and nephews, cousins and grandparents. He will be missed but never ever forgotten.

Deborah, so very sorry for the loss of your son. Remembering what a kind and gentle soul he was. I’m so glad I got to know him. Heaven has gained a very special angel who will never be forgotten. Sending you thoughts and many prayers for peace and comfort. In deepest sympathy, Lisa Cunningham and Family (Mother of Jacquie and Ian)

My thoughts and prayers to Howard's family. Howard brought a smile to everyone he met and his positive outlook and attitude was a gift he shared with us all. I especially enjoyed the cute and clever names he created for his fellow employees at CP&L, He will be missed..

I have known Fran for almost 50 years. In fact, I introduced her to my brother Kevin when we were in college. When I think of Fran, I remember her as being completely devoted to Kevin, Erin, Kara and her grandchildren. But I also remember her loving to belly dance when we were in college! May she rest in peace.

Yesterday I found out that Bob died. I am truly sorry as I lived across the street from Bob and Jeanette for many years. He was a Wonderful man, always helping me with my garden and truly a Great neighbor. I will miss him, but know he is with the Lord now!!

We are so sorry for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of the family. We pray that the Lord will give strength to each of you and that the Lord will bless you with his peace. Psalm 29:11

In loving memory

I am truly blessed to have Johnny as my brother. I will love you forevermore. Charle, Children, and Grandchildren, I will hold you all dear in my heart. I love each and everyone, we are all suffering a loss that is unmanageable. I love you, Betty.

Fran, You have always been my protector and confidante. I have loved you all my life, and I have been so lucky to be your sister. You will be forever in my heart. I know that there is one more Angel in Heaven, and I will think of you whenever I experience something beautiful in this world. Kevin, Erin, and Kara, take care of each other as you know Fran would take care of all of you - she is with you on this journey.

Johnny was my uncle, he was one of the kindest men I have ever met in my life still to this day. He loved children and family. I am so lucky to have had an uncle like him who loved us all so much! He loved and adored his children unconditionally. Anyone that has ever known him would say it was a true privilege. I like to remember him laughing. He had the best laugh and smile that would always bring a smile to your own face! I will forever cherish these memories and how lucky I was to be one of his nieces.

Johnny was a good man who loved his family and always had kind words for everyone. Johnny was my happy cousin and will be sorely missed by all that knew him. Thoughts and prayers for his family in this time of grief with God's Blessings.

Johnny was my brother and best friend whom I loved very much. He was such a kind generous and thoughtful person. His death has put a big hole in my heart. I will miss not being able to reach out to him for advice but I will cherish the memories we have shared and keep them close to my heart.

Knew John since 1990. Always a hard worker and loved his family dearly. I worked with him for a few years as well. One thing I noticed was that he was always respectful of everyone. Never had a bad thing to say.

So very sorry for your loss. Prayers for family and friends

God Bless this beautiful Family
