We will miss his sweet smile. He was a very talented carver and always was trying to help anyone who carved to be better at their carving. He was an inspiration to all. His daughter was very good taking care of him, making sure he could still attend the carving meetings. He will be missed.

Yates was a great guy. My family spent several Sunday afternoons with him and Bobbie when they first moved here. My children absolutely adored them. Sending my condolences, Tammy (Branscum) Saling

We purchased his farm in 1995 and knew right away that Yates was special folk. He had a great sense of humor and was always a pleasure to be around. I still find partial wood carvings he made while living on the farm to this day. He will be missed dearly, Godspeed my old friend.

May the Lord bless thee and keep thee:
May the Lord make His face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee:
May the Lord lift up His countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.
Numbers 6:24-26
Yates was a fun guy to be around and always had a smile and joke. I will never forget the GTE days in Upland.
