Pastor Dave Posted September 27, 2017 Report Share Posted September 27, 2017 It is with great sorrow and joy that I inform you all of the passing of my father-in-law J.C. this afternoon. I am sorrowful that this wonderful man has left us. He has been an important part of my life for over thirty years now. Since my own Father left us over twenty five years ago J.C. has filled the role of a father figure for me. From the first time I ever met him he has always treated me with respect even though I'm sure there was some trepidation at first as I was a very different person back then. However, the sorrow is tempered somewhat by the joy of knowing that he is no longer in pain. His last few years have been difficult for him. Alzheimer's set in a few years back and when it did the rest of his health declined rapidly. In some of his moments of clarity he made it known the he was unhappy with his state of being unable to care for himself. He will be missed greatly. He is survived by three daughters, four sons-in-law, nine grandchildren, twenty one great grandchildren, one great great grandchild, and his second wife. We ask for prayers of comfort and strength, well wishes, positive energy, or whatever your customs may be for all family members. Thanks, Pastor Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
