Ann and family,
"Those we hold closest to our hearts never truly leave us. They live on in the kindness they have shared and the love they brought into our lives."
When I was a young professional, Hamp was always a great Christian example to me a and always took the time to encourage me in my faith. His impact on Longview for the Kingdom of God will reach well beyond his life.

Anne,
Hamp has left us with a permanent imprint of a true Christian that will never be replaced. Knowing all of you from 1981 through Grace's family and then really getting to know Hamp through business: he taught me so much from start up phase all the way through to the successful end, not the least of which was patience. His leadership was quiet and powerful and I learned there is more accomplished with fewer words when they come from a man of integrity. My prayer is for you and your family to know what a marvelous man he was in the marketplace as well as in the church. Our hearts are heavy but only for a little while because Hamp has crossed over to receive his great reward!
Susan,
I was very sorry to read about your dad. I remember over the years when he would come in Albertson's from time to time. He was a kind-hearted man and it was always a pleasure to assist him.
Please know of my thoughts and prayers for you and your family. May God comfort you all as only He can do.
