As one who served a congregation served by this dear saint, I am honored to stand on his spiritual shoulders. I am glad we had the opportunity a few years back to share a meal and stories about the families in and around Sloan, Iowa. God is glorified in his life, his service to the Kingdom and now, in his eternal reward. PTHM
