Stanley, Debbie, John and Leslie, I can't express enough my sadness of the news of the passing of your dad. He meant a great deal to me. He never had an unkind word to say to me and was like family. Closer, than many of my family members. We were neighbors, church brethren and later, co-workers. I loved him deeply and honored him as a Christian gentleman. My deepest condolences to you all. Respectfully, James D. Cunningham
