To Dennis and the Metheny family:
Mr. Metheny was a real Christian and Godly Man. He was the kind of man who didn't shy away from helping others. He will be missed by all.

Dear Metheny family. I met Winston in 1961 when I went to work at Bale Chevrolet. He was a inspiration to me by the way he treated people and conducted his life. Just being around him made you want to be a better person. Winston has gone on to prepare a place for the family and you will see him again
in heaven. We will continue to pray for you in the months and years to come.
In Christian Love

Dear sweet Metheny family, I was saddened to learn of the passing of Mr Metheny. He was such a kind and gentle man and I have wonderful memories of the years we were neighbors. It was such a blessing for our family that Mr and Mrs Metheny and their boys moved into the house my grandfather built and, the house we spent many happy times in! And it’s heartwarming to know they made their own beautiful, family memories in that same home, for over 50 years. My prayers are with you all as you face this profound loss. God Bless. Jan
