!DEATH: Dad had three open heart surgeries. The first was a triple bypass as
was the second. The third was for a pacemaker. He had several good years
between the first and his death (approximately 10). With his pacemaker, Dad
virtually smothered to death because his heart wouldn't quit beating, but the
blood failed to deliver much oxygen. He became worse and worse, being on air
on and off until his death. Pastor Myers of the 1st Church of the Nazarene was
reading the 23rd Psalm to Dad at the hospital. Although Dad was not conscious,
he died in the psalm where the "paths of righteousness" was read. Pastor Enoch
Ralph, his best friend, did the eulogy and pastor Myers had the sermon. Dad
died in Hendricks County Hospital in Danville, Indiana; was displayed at
Wingler-Hayes Funeral Home in Coatesville, Indiana and was buried in Clayton
Cemetery at Clayton, Indiana on 18 February 1994.
