My Uncle Joe was one of the finest men I ever knew. He was a kind man, loved his Lord & family. He was one you could look up to. A joy to be around. God has called home a good and fateful servant.And I'm Proud that he was my Uncle. Thank God for him. Phillip Johnson

Mr. Bunch was my 6th grade teacher and I have never forgotten how kind and caring he was for each of his students. Mr. Bunch, God bless you, and thanks for making my learning experience a memorable one!
A few words that come to mind to describe Uncle Joe: humble, God-fearing, positive, nice, caring, sense of humor. I never heard Uncle Joe say an unkind word about anyone, or to anyone. In other words, he practiced every day what he preached on Sunday. Uncle Joe was simply one of the best men I have ever met. May God bless Denise, Martha, and Susan and their families during this time.
I know Bro. Bunch from his time as preacher at Sandy Creek. He was truly a kind caring man who did practice what he preached. I think of him often and always will.
