Condolence: My heart breaks for all the family and friends who loved this wonderful man. At the same time I rejoice that he won the victory and received his perfect healing. I pray for your comfort and peace at this difficult time, I know he and Susan are having a wonderful reunion. My love and hugs to you all, Libby

Condolence: To all the family of O.E., I am truly sorry to hear of his passing. I’ve known O.E. since I started high school. I patronized the Old Forge Restaurant several times, but most of the memories came at Alleghany Country Club. Most rescently, our encounters were in food lion. I have many fond memories of him and just thinking about them bring a smile to my face. When I paired up everyone for the Friday night scramble at ACC, I would have Jr,myself,josh and the highest handicapper in the field with us. Josh was only 8 years old. We Never lost! And Jr didn’t mind telling folks that either! He praised josh so much and set a good example for him in that hour and a half on Friday nights, I never told him, but I appreciated that. There were a lot of fine people there, but none finer than Jr. He was a true gentleman and a kind hearted person. May God put his arms around each of you in comfort at this time. It’s awful hard to let go, but can you just imagine the greeting he got from Susan! God Bless you all!
