I have known Laverl Cheek for several years as I installed and maintained Judy's pool. I came by in the spring and fall for the last ten years. Every time he came out and visited with me for hours . He was a very sweet and dear man. I come tell he was a man who possessed great character. He will be missed by me. My thoughts and prayers go to the family during your time of lost.
