My deepest sympathy to Polly and Steve and the entire family of Red. I've known this man all my life, attending Providence Baptist when I was a small child, attending school with Steve. Having reconnected and seen Red and Polly a few times in the past few years. It saddens me to know he has gone but I know his life was God driven and he was such a blessing to everyone. Thoughts and prayers for strength at this time.
