Uncle Son was a true gentleman who loved his family and his church. We are so grateful to have been included in his extended family and mourn his loss, but know he has been promised everlasting life. Our condolences to all who loved him.

I'm very sorry to see Son has passed. I liked him. He was a good fellow. Several times we exchanged books about the "Mighty Eighth Air Force" in WWII and he could read 'em quick! I'll miss him coming my shop. My deep condolences to his family.
