Jason Corder left a message on October 16, 2018:
I am glad that I really got to know my relative and neighbor since moving to the farm 10 years ago. He helped me greatly with our house and land, always having good ideas and advice. He was always there for me with anything I needed. I enjoyed him coming over to chat and share a funny story when I was out in the yard. He was always fun and never had a down moment. It’s hard to imagine what it will now be like without him. I am so sorry for Wanda and the family.
