Herb was my first boss at Pepsi, after Lawrence hired me He called Herb to his office and said you was needed another man were you not and of course Herb said yes. I was wild back in them days and if it had not been for Herb giving a lot of chances I'm sure I would have been fired my dad worked with Herb years earlier. Herb always told me I was a good worker just needed to straighten up. I got saved a few years before Herb retired and the LORD straightened me up. When I last seen Herb at the plant getting drinks he did not seem to be doing well. We had a laugh about old times,My condolence to the family

It's been many years since I have seen Junior, but I remember him coming to see my Dad and Mom when they were sick before they passed away. I did not know that Junior was a Korean War veteran.

Claudette and I extend our condolences to the family, praying that God will provide them peace and comfort.

Junior was a great friend to my parents, Dove and Louise Whaley, and will be greatly missed. Junior was faithful for the past many years to stop and visit with my parents once or twice each week, as well as occasionally bring them items from his garden. All of us in the Whaley family, especially my parents, are very saddened for this loss. The Lewis family will continue to be in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. My parents would have liked to have been able to attend the meeting of friends and the funeral, but unfortunately are just not physically able to attend at this time.
