I will never forget all of your funny jokes or how you used to pick on me every time I came by the house to see Shelly. You were always so soft spoken, polite, and extremely kind hearted. You were a blessing to have in our lives and will be truly missed ♡ Amanda Barkell

I am at a loss of words. I am truly sorry that he has passed. He really was a great person, father, grandfather, and father-in-law. He did a lot for me, and my family which in turn was his family. I always appreciated everything both him and his wife did for me. I am sorry that he will not be around to be with his daughters, grand children, and other family members anymore. I love you all.
