December 26, 2020 at 6:49 pmMany years ago my wife and I helped Lee and Esther move into the parsonage in Andover,Ohio as the pastor of the First Congregational located on East Main street.
Doing the time they served in Andover we became good friends and stayed in contact with Lee and Esther over the years and enjoyed our time together with them on many occasions over the years even after they moved on from Andover.
We have great memories of Lee and Esther and we miss them both!
May they rest in peace and God bless them.
