Funeral today

[pastorables]

I attended the funeral of one of my favorite uncles today. Marvin (Gene) Hannon passed on Friday at the age of 78. He was a Korean War veteran and retired from Sears (Delivery) in Chicago, IL. Uncle Gene was an integral part of my ministry for years as he would share his Sears experience helping us move from pastorate to pastorate. He will be greatly missed.

As a side, it was neat as I looked in my rearview to see blue flashing lights on both sides of the four-lane and one in front of the procession. My first cousin, local Police Chief, helped organize an escorted procession fit for the Governor. Uncle Gene would have been proud.

Blessings,
pa

Sorry about your family's loss, Richie. I'm glad his funeral honored him in a way he'd be delighted to see, though.

if that procession was in Chicago then that would have been a total shocker, I have found that the further south you go the more respect to the passing of someone.

It is great that your uncle did what he could to support you and work for the Lord. It goes to prove God uses everyone that desires to be used.

I am praying for you and your family in your time of loss.

Sorry for the loss.

I have to agree with TC the further south you go the more respect a person gets at the time of their passing.

Your life is enriched and greatly blessed, in great part due to the legacy of your uncle, to continue ministering the Lord's love and grace here. What greater tribute could you give your uncle? God bless you with strength and wisdom for the days ahead.
