Wallace was such a good man. He and Bea were such lovely people. He was very kind and generous to a fault. They were always so supportive of us. We went to church with them for several years and he was always excited to provide the fish when it was time for a fish fry at church. He was certainly a social person. He loved to visit and talk with friends and I’m sure the occasional stranger. He will be missed. Love and prayers to the family ??
