In lieu of flowers, the family asks for donations, which will be given to the Meals on Wheels program at the Oak Grove United Methodist Church. Members of their congregation spent time visiting and ministering to him weekly and always tried to make him feel special on his birthday and holidays. Their kindness is greatly appreciated.
