O'le Rip - You'll never know how much your being there for me in 1961 meant. Your prayer midst moments of recall impelled me into preparation for pulpit ministry - 40 years later you honored me with your long awaited baptism near your home. I know the struggle in finding peace with God with so many voices clammoring to correct me, often rejecting me; but you, you made it matter of factly known: 'There's something higher than the sages of today' & you included me in your quest. May you & your family be at rest in the new life that became yours through the Christ you led me to. I will anticipate seeing you in the divine kindgom when my time arrives. Blessings to you & yours - Grace & peace to all who knew this brother in Christ, amen.
