Remembering One of Our Own

On Monday, December 31st, 2007 our faith family was called upon to gather once again to bid farewell to one of its elder churchmen. C. Victor J. Hayes - Victor or Mr. Hayes as we knew him passed away a few days before after a long and complicated medical fight that saw him in and out of hospitals for years. Gathering to celebrate were his wife Thelma and the rest of his family. A Nephew Rev. Cannon Dr. Don Hull presided at the service as we celebrated the life that Victor loved to live. Amongst the many memories that were shared were ones of a person who loved his family; worked hard to support them; took pride in his work; and was incredible enamored with his grandchildren. While for health reasons Victor and Thelma haven't been able to frequent the church in the same manner as years gone by, Victor's presence will be missed by all of us who enjoyed his spirit, his faith, and his joi de vivre.
