<strong>Western</strong> <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong> <strong>Conference</strong><br />

X. HISTORICAL MATERIAL<br />

A. HISTORICAL SKETCH<br />

The <strong>Western</strong> <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong> <strong>Conference</strong> shall include all <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong> west of the <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong> <strong>Conference</strong>, except<br />

Savannah Church, in Alleghany County, <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong>; and also that part of <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong> lying north of the New River, and<br />

including that part of Virginia lying south of that river in the loop in Grayson County, Virginia; including all the territory in Carroll<br />

and Patrick Counties, Virginia, south of the crest of the Blue Ridge, and west of the Dan River. (Discipline, 1948, 1957)<br />

This territory is identical with that of the <strong>Western</strong> <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong> <strong>Conference</strong> of the former Methodist Episcopal Church, South.<br />

All three branches of Methodism forming The Methodist Church were included in this new conference. From the Blue Ridge-<br />

Atlantic <strong>Conference</strong> of the former Methodist Episcopal Church came 39 ministers and 11,901 church members. The <strong>North</strong><br />

<strong>Carolina</strong> <strong>Conference</strong> of the former Methodist Protestant Church contributed 74 ministers and 22,361 church members. The<br />

<strong>Western</strong> <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong> <strong>Conference</strong> of the former Methodist Episcopal Church, South, added 377 ministers and 167,028 church<br />

members. This gave the new conference 490 members, with 28 others on trial, and 201,290 church members. The Blue Ridge-<br />

Atlantic <strong>Conference</strong> has held 62 ses sions; the <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong> <strong>Conference</strong> of the Methodist Protestant Church, 112; and the<br />

<strong>Western</strong> <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong>, 50 (see Journal, 1939, pp. 115, 169).<br />

The <strong>Western</strong> <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong> <strong>Conference</strong> of The United Methodist Church was formed on June 5, 1968, by the merger of the<br />

<strong>Western</strong> <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong> <strong>Conference</strong> and that portion of the <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong>-Virginia <strong>Conference</strong> situated within the bounds of the<br />

<strong>Western</strong> <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong> <strong>Conference</strong> (see Journal, 1968, p. 84). The <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong>-Virginia <strong>Conference</strong> had been organized in<br />

Greensboro on August 11, 1964, and, in addition to the organizational session, held four sessions prior to the 1968 merger.<br />

The Disaster Response truck played a pivotal role in orchestrating<br />

annual conference. It was also the drop-off point for $15,000+<br />

Delegates, their families and friends packed <strong>10</strong>6,086 meals<br />

valued at $26,521.50 for Stop Hunger Now. Local churches were<br />

BETTY SUE ARMSTRONG<br />

JULY 27, 1938 – FEBRUARY 3, 2009<br />

Betty Sue Armstrong was born July 27, 1938, in Shawnee, Oklahoma, to the late John S. and Millie Moyers McBride and lived<br />

in Oklahoma for over 40 years. Betty has three siblings, Flora McBride of Oklahoma City; JoAnn Buhr of Port Ludlow, Washington;<br />

and Jack McBride of Denver, Colorado. Betty graduated from <strong>North</strong>east High School in Oklahoma City in 1956. She went to the<br />

University of Oklahoma for a couple of years, then moved to Ohio to work for about two years. Betty got married in 1960 to Merlin<br />

Miller Armstrong. They had three children: Jay Leslie and Jack Lillard who were born Feb. 17, 1962. Jay died shortly after birth.<br />

Jack died at the age of 25 with heart complications, while staying with Betty in <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong>. Terri Kay was born Jan. 3, 1963.<br />

Terri Armstrong lives in Tupelo, Mississippi, with her two children, Millie Sue Pridmore (born May 13, 1991) and George Armstrong<br />

Pridmore (born May 24, 1995). Millie and George are Betty’s only grandchildren and she enjoyed them so much and spent as<br />

much time with them as she was able. Her love for children was shown best as she loved and played with Millie and George


2009 journal 311<br />

these past 17 years. She never shied away from games, cards, singing, dancing, and being silly with her grandchildren. Their lives are forever touched by their<br />

Grandma Betty.<br />

Betty raised her children at McFarlin United Methodist Church in Norman, Oklahoma. She worked at McFarlin UMC as a teacher in the preschool program.<br />

Later she became the Director of the McFarlin Day Care Center.<br />

Betty went back to college and received her B.A. degree from Oklahoma City University. She then pursued further education by completing certifi cation studies<br />

in Christian Education from Perkins School of Theology in Dallas, Texas. She also completed the Foundational Studies of the UMC at Oklahoma City University<br />

School of Religion. In 1982 Betty was consecrated as a UMC Diaconal Minister in the Oklahoma United Methodist <strong>Conference</strong>. Betty moved to Oklahoma City,<br />

Oklahoma to be the director of St. Luke’s UMC Day Care program. She later became their Children’s Minister.<br />

In 1985, Betty accepted the opportunity to serve at Centenary UMC in Winston-Salem, <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong>. She fell in love with <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong> and the many<br />

wonderful friends there who became her family. In 1997, Betty was ordained the fi rst full connection deacon, and also the fi rst woman full connection deacon,<br />

of the <strong>Western</strong> <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong> <strong>Conference</strong>, The United Methodist Church. At her ordination, her daughter, Rev. Terri Armstrong (elder in the Mississippi UMC<br />

conference) laid hands on her along with Dr. Lee Dukes and Bishop Charlene Kammerer. In 2000, she completed training for spiritual direction at the Shalem<br />

Institute in Washington, D.C.<br />

Betty’s ministry at Centenary UMC as the Children’s Minister was creative, challenging, and joyful in so many ways. Her long tenure at this one church blessed<br />

her by seeing so many children grow up in the arms of the church. She nurtured children and parents, encouraging them to live into God’s promises for each one<br />

of their lives. Betty’s ministry later moved into Missions and Outreach, which gave her opportunity to lead others on mission trips to Montana, Alaska, and other<br />

places. Her mission and outreach ministry also extended into the city where she met people in need each week at the community center.<br />

During Betty’s ministry in <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong>, she was active on the district and conference level in many areas. She served on the Board of Ordained Ministry<br />

and was the fi rst chair for the Order of Deacons. Betty spent many years as a member on the conference Children’s Ministry Council. She was on the Weekday<br />

Childcare Ministries Committee; she was the Registrar for the Board of Diaconal Ministry and served as a mentor for diaconal ministers. She was instrumental<br />

in providing training and delivery of Older Elementary Human Sexuality workshops throughout the conference. Betty was active in the Christian Educators<br />

Fellowship for many years. Betty was a ‘Born Free, Stay Free’ Drug Prevention instructor. Within the church community, the annual conference, the Christian<br />

Educators and ordained Deacons, Betty found many friends and supporters that prayed for her, encouraged her, laughed and cried with her. Betty retired from<br />

Centenary UMC in December of 2003. At that time she began working part-time at the Centenary UMC Book Store.<br />

Betty was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in February 2008. She courageously lived with this disease for the next year, never giving up, but fi nding each<br />

day as an opportunity to make a difference in someone’s life. She wanted each and every friend to know how much they had touched her and she thanked God<br />

for relationships, joy, laughter, and love. Betty believed the time she had after her diagnosis was prolonged because of the prayers and loving care of so many<br />

wonderful friends and family, both near and far. Betty remained at her home the last month of her life, with the help of Kate B. Reynolds Hospice Care (KBR)<br />

coming to her home. The last few days she went to the KBR Center for attentive nursing care, where her daughter, Terri, and sister, Joan, could be by her side.<br />

Betty went to her heavenly home on Tuesday morning, Feb. 3, 2009.<br />

A beautiful memorial service was held at Centenary United Methodist Church in Winston-Salem, <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong> with Dr. Bob Nations and Dr. Lee Dukes<br />

offi ciating. Her committal at the Centenary UMC Columbarium was also led by Rev. Dale Wood and Rev. Bob Carlisle, dear friends she knew from Oklahoma.<br />

Another touching memorial service was held in Oklahoma City at Mayfair Heights United Methodist Church, with Rev. Bob Younts offi ciating.<br />

Found among her collection of thoughts during her last days were words from Thomas Kelly: Walk and talk and work and laugh with your friends. But behind<br />

the scenes, keep up the life of simple prayer and inward worship. Keep it up throughout the day. Let inward prayer be your last act before you fall asleep and the<br />

fi rst act when you awake. If a good life is measured by friends, I have no doubt Betty’s life was great. Her signature mark was babies, balloons, butterfl ies, and<br />

rainbows – all signs of God’s hope, promises of life, and new beginnings. Thanks be to God for Betty Sue Armstrong!<br />

Terri K. Armstrong<br />

DERRY RAY BARNHARDT<br />

February 17, 1934 – September 8, 2008<br />

Derry Ray Barnhardt, son of Olin Lewis and Edna Carter Barnhardt, was born in Davie County, <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong>, on Feb. 17, 1934.<br />

The fourth of seven children, he grew up in Davie County and learned the importance of hard work as he engaged in his chores on<br />

the family farm. He graduated from Shady Grove High School; and soon thereafter, he was married on June 27, 1953, to Ommie<br />

Sue McDaniel, who had been his special sweetheart since elementary school. Following their marriage, Derry worked at <strong>Western</strong><br />

Electric Company in Winston-Salem for more than <strong>10</strong> years, interrupted by two years of service in the United States Army.<br />

Upon completing his military service at Fort Hood in Texas, Derry returned home and resumed his work at <strong>Western</strong> Electric,<br />

became more and more involved in his local church (Cornatzer Methodist), and increasingly felt God’s call to enter into ordained<br />

ministry. His response to this call led him to High Point College, where he graduated in 1970 with an A.B. degree. He was licensed<br />

to preach in 1968, ordained a deacon in the <strong>Western</strong> <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong> <strong>Conference</strong> in 1971, completed the Pastor’s School Course of<br />

Study at Duke Divinity School in 1974, granted associate membership status in 1975, received as a probationary member in 1977,<br />

and admitted into full connection and ordained an elder in 1979. He served as a pastor in the following appointments: Shiloh-Olivet, 1968-1970; Forsyth-Stokes,<br />

1970-1974; Kernersville: Cherry St.-Pine Grove, 1974-1981; Lexington: Trinity, 1981-1989; Vanderburg, 1989-1993; Brookstown, 1993-1998. Derry retired from<br />

the itinerant ministry of The United Methodist Church in 1998; however, God had more plans for Derry, and he provided great service in his role as Minister of<br />

Visitation at Mount Tabor Church in Winston-Salem, from 1999 until his death in September 2008. Derry loved the members of the congregations he served,<br />

and the people loved him, as exemplifi ed by his tenure of 15 years in just two appointments in Kernersville and Lexington.<br />

Derry not only had enormous passion for ministry, but he also had tremendous passion for all things pertaining to life, particularly his family. Derry and<br />

Sue were blessed by the birth of three sons: Derry Ray, Jr., born March 3, 1958; Teddy Mac, born Feb. 14, 1962; and Alan Ross, born Sept. 27, 1971. Nothing<br />

thrilled Derry more than spending vacations and holidays with the entire family consisting of his wife, three sons and their wives (Jeri, Robyn and Pam), and six<br />

wonderful grandchildren. It was always a time of celebration and love!<br />

Derry’s life was enriched and blessed by his clear, self-understanding that he was truly a child of God, created uniquely and specifi cally to use his gifts and<br />

talents for the building of God’s kingdom. He lived without pretense and was as comfortable in his own skin as any person I have ever known. He believed in<br />

and practiced fairness and justice in every experience of life, and he was always an advocate for the downtrodden, the sick and homebound, the lonely and the<br />

outcast. It was indeed most appropriate when Derry received special recognition from Bishop Charlene Kammerer for his ministry to Woody Jones, an innocent<br />

man who had been unjustly indicted and jailed for a murder he did not commit. Primarily through Derry’s relentless efforts, the work of Trinity United Methodist<br />

Church in Lexington, and the support of other concerned Christians, Mr. Jones was set free. Obviously, Derry took to heart and followed Jesus’ example of<br />

bringing good news to the poor and release to the captives.<br />

Derry’s passion for life included a great sense of humor and the ability to bring a smile to the face of everyone he met. In fact, it would be impossible to<br />

measure the true value of his many visits to homebound members of the congregations he served and where Derry’s funny stories and kind, caring ways would<br />

so often transform a parishioner’s day of despair and pessimism into a time of joy and hope. This same optimistic spirit carried over to experiences shared by<br />

Derry on the golf course. Those of us who were fortunate enough to be his playing partners not only marveled at his unique physical skills and golfi ng prowess,<br />

which enabled Derry to Dr. the ball a country mile and to make seven holes-in-one, we were always kept in constant laughter by his keen wit and cheerful<br />

anecdotes. A day spent golfi ng with Derry was always a day of renewal and rejuvenation.<br />

The concluding day of his life on this earth (Sept. 8, 2008) was typical of so many other days in which Derry lived during retirement that the events of the<br />

day deserve special emphasis. Every moment was packed full of energy and excitement, compassion and love. He played golf with friends early in the morning;<br />

checked on several homebound members of Mount Tabor Church in the early afternoon; took his wife to a doctor’s appointment; enjoyed his evening meal; went<br />

out to work in his yard; and on this particular day upon suffering a heart attack, met God face to face as he entered through heaven’s magnifi cent doors. At the


312<br />

<strong>Western</strong> <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong> <strong>Conference</strong><br />

worship service celebrating Derry’s life and resurrection which was held at Mount Tabor United Methodist Church in Winston-Salem on Sept. 12, 2008, Dr. Earl<br />

Wilson, the offi ciating pastor, told an overfl owing congregation that other persons may have lived more years on this earth than Derry did, but truthfully no one<br />

ever lived more completely or more vibrantly. How grateful we are for the life and witness of this good man who dared to live life by being himself and who was<br />

committed, fi rst and foremost, to being God’s faithful servant!<br />

ROY EDISON BELL<br />

May 17, 1919 – May 27, 2008<br />

“The highest service that [one] may attain to on earth is to preach the Word of God.” This quote from John Wycliff expresses Roy<br />

Bell’s response to his call to ministry. Roy loved to preach, and always had a passion for proclaiming the gospel. In his retirement<br />

speech at Annual <strong>Conference</strong> in 1984, he stated, “I have never coveted any title other than that of preacher in The United<br />

Methodist Church.” Roy was well-known throughout the conference as a great preacher and storyteller. This writer’s fi rst encounter<br />

with Roy Bell was when Roy was preaching a revival at Central UMC, Spencer. He succeeded in keeping the attention of an eightyear-Sold<br />

boy with his stories and his humor, which was no small feat. One story that Roy liked to tell about that revival was that<br />

one night, as he fi nished his sermon, the time came for the altar call. The call he issued that night was for all those who wanted<br />

their pastor reappointed for the coming year to come forward and shake his hand! (Roy later confessed to me that altar calls never<br />

were his strength.)<br />

Roy Bell’s sense of humor endeared him to his congregations, and has left a legacy of countless stories for his family and<br />

friends. While he was pastor at Sylva, the “Davy Crockett and Daniel Boone” series was popular on television. The star was Fess Parker and the series was<br />

produced by Walt Disney. It seems that some of the shows were fi lmed in western <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong> in the Sylva area. One Sunday following the worship service, as<br />

Roy was shaking hands with the congregation, a man came up to him and said, “Hello, my name is Fess Parker.” Roy did not believe him, so he responded, “Oh,<br />

yeah? If you’re Fess Parker, then I’m Walt Disney.” Then, the next person in line walked up to Roy with a big grin on his face and said, “Hello, I’m Walt Disney!”<br />

Roy Edison Bell was born on May 17, 1919, in Erlanger (now part of Lexington) to the late William Edward and Elvey Odessa Guin Bell, and was their last<br />

surviving child from a family of 11. He was educated in the Lexington city schools and attended First Lutheran Church. Following his graduation from high school,<br />

Roy attended Lenoir-Rhyne College, where he played basketball and met the love of his life, Caroline Virginia Crowell. They were married on Nov. 29, 1939.<br />

Following their marriage, they transferred to Catawba College and lived with Caroline’s parents in Spencer. It was during that time that Roy fi rst attended Central<br />

Methodist Church in Spencer, where he was greatly infl uenced by the Rev. Frank B. Jordan, who was pastor at Central at that time. Frank was instrumental in<br />

Roy receiving his license to preach at Central on May 22, 1941 and on his deciding to enroll at Duke Divinity School upon his graduation from Catawba in 1941<br />

with a Bachelor of Arts degree. Roy then received his Bachelor of Divinity Degree from Duke Divinity School in 1944. Roy Bell joined the <strong>Western</strong> <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong><br />

Annual <strong>Conference</strong> on trial in 1943, and was admitted into full connection in 1945. He was ordained a deacon in 1944 and an elder in 1945.<br />

Roy was fi rst appointed to China Grove on Aug. 17, 1943, to fi nish the year for L. R. Akers, Jr., who entered the U.S. Army as a chaplain. Roy liked to tell the<br />

story that his next appointment was to two trees on a vacant lot on Selwyn Ave. in Charlotte. Under his leadership that lot became Mouzon United Methodist<br />

Church. As the founding pastor of that fl edgling congregation in 1943, Roy charted on a map what he thought would be the primary area for members for this<br />

new congregation, then dutifully went through the neighborhoods near the lot, visiting the people and inviting them to become part of the new church. All went<br />

smoothly until Roy knocked on the door at 2020 Roswell Ave., and none other than Bishop Purcell answered the door. After stammering his way through an<br />

explanation of what he was doing in the neighborhood, Roy returned home and re-drew his territory on the map, moving the boundaries several blocks south to<br />

exclude the Bishop’s residence! Roy’s appointments included: 1943, China Grove; 1943-47, Charlotte: Mouzon; 1947-53, Kernersville: Main St.; 1953-57, Sylva;<br />

1957-61, <strong>North</strong> Wilkesboro: First; 1961-65, Concord: Central; 1965-69, Reidsville: Main St.; 1969-72, Mooresville: Central; 1972-76, Winston-Salem: Mount<br />

Tabor; 1976-79, Cornelius: Mount Zion; 1979-80, Newton: Abernethy Memorial; 1980-84, Hudson-Mount Hermon. In 1984, Roy and Caroline retired to her<br />

hometown of Spencer, where Roy continued to serve as pastor of Spencer: Yadkin from 1984 until Feb. 1, 1988. In retirement, Roy and Caroline were active at<br />

Central United Methodist Church in Spencer, the church where he had fi rst taken the steps toward ordained ministry. This writer subsequently served as pastor<br />

of this congregation and quickly developed a deep appreciation for Roy Bell as a mentor, confi dant, and friend. Roy was named Pastor Emeritus by Mouzon in<br />

1993 as that congregation celebrated its 50th anniversary, and by Central UMC, Spencer on Jan. 19, 1997 in appreciation for his participation and leadership in<br />

that congregation during his retirement as part of that congregation’s centennial celebration.<br />

Roy Bell served in many positions of leadership at the district and conference levels. In 1967 he was one of 25 preachers selected by The Methodist Church<br />

to travel to England and preach for six weeks. He served on the <strong>Conference</strong> Committee on Resolutions 1952-54, the <strong>Conference</strong> Board of Education 1954-60,<br />

the <strong>Conference</strong> Board of Missions 1957-68, and the <strong>Conference</strong> Board of Evangelism 1961-64. On various occasions he served at District Director of Missions,<br />

District Director of Evangelism, and District Director of Stewardship, in addition to serving on the District Committee on Ministerial Qualifi cations and the District<br />

Committee on Buildings and Locations in several districts.<br />

It would be diffi cult to count the number of lives that have been impacted by the faith and the preaching of Roy Bell. Under his leadership, 547 people joined<br />

his congregations on profession of faith. His ministry not only touched the lives of the members of the churches that he served, but also those of the community,<br />

for Roy was always involved in civic matters wherever he served. He was a Mason and a Lion, and served as President of the Spencer Lions Club. Several of<br />

his churches also sponsored “Dial-a-prayer” or “Dial-a-devotion” telephone lines, where untold people called and received spiritual sustenance. Many of these<br />

devotions and prayers have been published in his two books: Help in Time of Trouble (1964) and Living Today with Hope (1996).<br />

Roy and Caroline were blessed with four sons: Marvin Edward Bell, born Aug. 3, 1946 and tragically killed in an automobile accident on Nov. 29, 1991, while<br />

returning home from celebrating his parents’ wedding anniversary; Roy Edison Bell, Jr., born Jan. 22, 1950, now living in Concord with his wife, Yvonne Michael;<br />

David Crowell Bell, born Nov. 19, 1952, now living in Raleigh; and John Clyde Bell, born Aug. 11, 1954, now living in Tampa, Florida, with his wife, Cynthia<br />

Richards Bell. Roy is also survived by fi ve grandchildren, Audrey Louise Haynes of Murphy, Amber Suzanne Bell of New York, NY, Lee Graham Bell of Huntsville,<br />

Alabama, Michael William Bell of Vero Beach, Florida, and John Tabor Bell of Raleigh, and three great-grandchildren. Following 64 years of marriage, Caroline<br />

preceded Roy in death and entered the Church Triumphant on Sept. 1, 2003.<br />

Roy was proud to be a United Methodist minister. Even when his health began to fail, he continued to be interested in the actions of the annual conference.


2009 journal 313<br />

2008 marked the fi rst year since 1992 that he did not ask this writer for a detailed account of what “really” happened at Annual <strong>Conference</strong>, complete with<br />

copies of handouts, bulletins, and especially the appointments. In fact, during the past few years, Roy would watch Annual <strong>Conference</strong> from his room at Autumn<br />

Care in Salisbury, broadcast live over the internet. After all, how many nursing home residents have a high-speed internet hook-up in their room and the<br />

knowledge and ability to use it!<br />

In what proved to be this writer’s fi nal visit with Roy, he told me how much he missed Caroline and that he was ready to go and join her in God’s heavenly<br />

kingdom. He also shared with his sons that he was not afraid of death, for he knew that Jesus had prepared a place for him eternally.<br />

Following a period of declining health, Roy Edison Bell, Sr. entered the church triumphant on May 27, 2008. A private committal service with Masonic rites<br />

was held at Rowan Memorial Park on May 31, 2008, conducted by the Rev. Dr. Robert T. McLawhorn, pastor of Central UMC, Spencer, and this writer, and was<br />

followed by a celebratory Service of Lessons and Hymns (planned in advance by Roy) at Central UMC, Spencer, conducted by the same clergy.<br />

In closing, I share one of the prayers which Roy wrote and published in his book, Living Today with Hope.<br />

O God Almighty, help us to see through the screen that is sometimes so dark and thick that it hides the vision of the brightness of your love. Allow us to see<br />

through that screen the life that surrounds us, that penetrates every particle of our being. May your love lift us and carry us through all trials and temptations,<br />

exalting us so that we may be companions with him who in his defeat was sublimely victorious. Amen.<br />

JOHN LOUIS BORCHERT<br />

July 5, 1928 – October 4, 2008<br />

John Louis Borchert was born on July 5, 1928, in Ridgeley, West Virginia, the only child of Louis Henry and Margaret Byer<br />

Borchert. Since Ridgeley is such a small town, just across the river from Cumberland, Maryland, John spent about as much<br />

time during his formative years in Maryland as he did in West Virginia. He graduated from Allegany High School in Cumberland,<br />

Maryland in 1946. John attended Potomac State College in Keyser, West Virginia, for two years, and fi nished his undergraduate<br />

studies at Marshall University in Huntington, West Virginia (B.A. in Journalism, 1950).<br />

John grew up in a strong Methodist family, and he lived his whole life as a Methodist. His church membership changed from<br />

church to church over time (Memorial, Central, and Cole Memorial, all in Charlotte), but during the later years of his life he was<br />

a very active servant leader in Commonwealth United Methodist Church in Charlotte. John became a Certifi ed Lay Worker in the<br />

<strong>Western</strong> <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong> <strong>Conference</strong> in 1975, and was among the fi rst to be consecrated as a Diaconal Minister in the <strong>Western</strong><br />

<strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong> <strong>Conference</strong> in 1977.<br />

During his high school and college years John started announcing sporting events and writing sports articles for local newspapers. After graduation from<br />

Marshall University, he worked in Radio Sports broadcasting until he entered the U. S. Army during the Korean War. Following his military discharge, John was<br />

hired as the Religion Editor for The Charlotte News. In that capacity, John became familiar with many high-profi le people in religious circles and in churches<br />

of all denominations. Billy Graham became a fascinating fi gure for this young reporter, and he and John became friends. John wrote a 14-part series for the<br />

newspaper on the life and ministry of Billy Graham. This series was subsequently used widely by the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association for their expanding<br />

ministries. This growing recognition of John Borchert’s gifts as a journalist caught the eye of another very special churchman, the late Bishop Nolan B. Harmon,<br />

Presiding Bishop of the <strong>Western</strong> <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong> <strong>Conference</strong> of The United Methodist Church.<br />

In 1961, Bishop Harmon hired John away from The Charlotte News to serve as the Director of Communications for the conference. That was in the days before<br />

the conference staff was consolidated in one location, and the Presiding Bishop’s offi ce was located at First Methodist Church in uptown Charlotte. Across the<br />

ensuing 32 years John’s portfolio of responsibilities included Director of Support Services, Stewardship, Communications and Interpretation, the News Bureau,<br />

Lay Ministries, and Ministry in Society. In 1991, he added the role of Associate Editor of the <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong> Christian Advocate. I worked with John Borchert<br />

for many years in the areas of communications and stewardship in the <strong>Western</strong> <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong> <strong>Conference</strong>, and then served alongside him for seven years as<br />

<strong>Conference</strong> Director of Missions and Outreach. He was one of the hardest-working men I ever knew. He was tireless in his commitment to the tasks assigned to<br />

him. John never relinquished the principles and values of the past, but was always ready to adopt a better, more effi cient way of communicating the good news<br />

of our conference and of The United Methodist Church.<br />

When John Borchert retired in 1993, the <strong>Western</strong> <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong> <strong>Conference</strong> honored his years of professional service by naming the news room at<br />

Lake Junaluska for him. In an additional tribute to John’s pioneering work in the area of communications, the <strong>Conference</strong> Commission on Communications<br />

established the John Louis Borchert Communication Award to be presented annually for “dedicated service and outstanding achievement in the ministry<br />

of Christian Communication with the <strong>Western</strong> <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong> <strong>Conference</strong>.” In the year 2000, John was inducted into the United Methodist Association of<br />

Communicators’ Hall of Fame.<br />

On April 11, 1959, John married his “beautiful princess,” Joyce Porter. From this union were born two lovely daughters: Suzanne Joyce, born May 7, 1962,<br />

now living in Charlotte with her husband, Les Grattan, and sons, Kenneth and Gregory; and Patricia Margaret, born Nov. 21, 1964, who resides in Raleigh. John<br />

was an avid reader, an astute scholar of history and sports, a collector and masterful player of strategic table games, a gifted writer and photographer, but above<br />

all else, he was a devoted and loving husband and father.<br />

After a brief period of hospitalization, John died on Oct. 4, 2008, at Presbyterian Hospital in Charlotte, <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong>, as a result of congestive heart failure. A<br />

service to celebrate his life was held at Commonwealth United Methodist Church on Oct. 7, 2008, with his pastor, Peggy Bridgers, offi ciating. Interment followed<br />

at Evergreen Cemetery.<br />

“Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved by him,<br />

a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly explaining the word of truth.”<br />

(2 Timothy 2:15)<br />

FLOYD GRAYSON BOTTOMS<br />

February 3, 1914 – January 6, 2009<br />

Reverend Floyd Grayson Bottoms was born Feb. 3, 1914, in High Point, Guilford County, <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong>. He<br />

was the son of J. B. Bottoms and Sally Newson Bottoms. In 1933 he married his childhood sweetheart, Hazel Hedgecock. They had<br />

three sons: Floyd, Jr., Larry, and Roger. He had three daughters-in law, fi ve grandchildren, fi ve step-grandchildren, and seven great<br />

grandchildren. For 20 years he worked with his brother in his trucking business.<br />

Floyd taught Sunday School and worked with the youth at Oak View Methodist Church in High Point. He was called by the Lord<br />

to preach in 1949. He attended Emory University and High Point University, where he graduated in 1953. After he was ordained a<br />

Methodist minister, he preached actively for 30 years. He was a Methodist pastor for over 50 years. He conducted over 50 revivals<br />

and led many people to the Lord. He also led eight men into the ministry. He said his greatest accomplishment was to preach the<br />

Gospel and lead people to the Lord.<br />

In 1950-1954 he served at Mitchells Grove Methodist Church in High Point. His next appointment was at Casar, in 1954-1958,<br />

serving Casar, Kistler’s, and Pleasant Hill churches. He spent four years at Casar, where he and his family fell in love with the people and the beautiful South<br />

Mountains overlooking Casar. He then moved to Lincolnton in 1958-1964, serving Rhyne Heights Methodist Church. On his fi rst Sunday service he preached on<br />

giving tithes. He suggested starting a “Store House” which is a church committee formed to assist needy people. The “Store House” was formed in 1958 and is<br />

still going strong.

<strong>Western</strong> <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong> <strong>Conference</strong><br />

The rest of Floyd’s ministry included the following appointments: 1964-1965, Canton First Methodist Church; 1965-1969, Whitnel and Baton Methodist<br />

Churches in Lenoir; 1967-1973, Caroleen and Avondale Churches; 1973-1979, Bethel and Oak Forest Methodist Churches in Morganton. In 1979, he retired,<br />

moving back to Casar, <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong>.<br />

During his years of service he actively worked with the Boy Scouts. He received many honors and awards for community and church services. He served as<br />

Chaplain of the Lions Club and President and Vice President of the Ruritan Club in various cities. He conducted the “World Day of Prayer” in Casar for many years<br />

and was “Citizen of the Year” in Casar. He also was Grand Marshal of the Casar Christmas Parade.<br />

Floyd was a member of the Men’s Bible Class at Casar United Methodist Church. He loved a good joke and could preach a sermon, tell a joke, and then<br />

return to his sermon without missing a beat. He was a very faithful man whom people called upon daily to pray for them and their family. He made many visits to<br />

hospitals and people’s homes when they were sick or dying. Floyd was the kind of person that you wanted beside you during the good and bad times.<br />

After his retirement he worked with his son in his car business for 20 years. In 2000, Floyd began preaching full-time at Lawndale Missionary Methodist<br />

Church in Lawndale, <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong>. He conducted fi ve services a week. He was a giving person and would give his last dollar to help anyone. He saw the best in<br />

everyone. He was a kind and loving person who enjoyed life and an inspiration to everyone.<br />

He had a great way with children. He had special services each Sunday morning at his churches. Floyd touched many children and young adults’ lives with a<br />

lasting impression. A newspaper writer for the Hickory Daily Record, Larry Clark, wrote this article after seeing his obituary:<br />

The most comforting preacher I ever knew at a funeral was Floyd Bottoms. He was my minister for a few years. Methodists don’t let their pastors hang around<br />

long, so moving on is inevitable, no matter what the congregation thinks of the face in the pulpit. I saw Rev. Bottom’s obituary the other day. I read it with<br />

sadness and a touch of gladness. Sad, because the dear man is gone. Glad, because I thought he had died years ago and I saw he lived to be 94…the Rev. was<br />

a happy man. He loved young people, and he was game for about anything. He had a knack for slipping in a moral or two during an activity that made the kids<br />

smile. And listen. … I’ve known many wonderful preachers. I won’t forget. But he’s the one you wanted when your world collapsed and you needed a gentle touch<br />

and just the right word to get going again. As he would say of the dearly beloved who had parted the veil. “He has beat us in the race.” Floyd Bottoms beat us in<br />

the race, and what a race the old gent ran! He won, no doubt about it.<br />

On Jan. 6, 2009, the Lord called him Home. Rev. Floyd Bottoms is buried at Casar United Methodist Church Cemetery. He was preceded in death by his loving<br />

wife of 68 years, both parents, his youngest son, and all of his brothers and sisters. What a reunion all of God’s Heavenly Family had on Jan. 6.<br />

ROBERT PARHAM BUNCH<br />

April 2, 1924 – October 14, 2008<br />

Robert (Bob) Parham Bunch was born on April 2, 1924, in Statesville, <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong>. He is the son of Fred B. Bunch, Sr. and<br />

Lizzie Mae Pardue Bunch. Bob was the youngest of eight brothers and sisters: Mrs. Vaughn Mansfi eld (Elizabeth), Mrs. Clyde Nagle<br />

(Martha), Fred B. Bunch, Jr., Dr. Pardue Bunch, Mrs. Russell Hanson (Anne Jeanne), Dr. Littleton Bunch, and Mrs. Carter Poland<br />

(Jennie Dye).<br />

After graduating from Statesville High School, Bob became a student at Mitchell Junior College. While a student there he<br />

enlisted in the U.S. Navy and served for three years as a helmsman on the aircraft carrier USS Monterey. After this tour of duty he<br />

became a student at the University of <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong>. It was there while participating in the Wesley Foundation that Bob felt the<br />

call to the ministry. After graduating from the university with an A.B. degree, he went on to receive his Master of Divinity degree<br />

from Yale University Divinity School in 1952. He became an elder in the Methodist Church in 1954. After his graduation from Yale<br />

Divinity School, Bob spent nine months as a student in Denmark in a school for adults, studying the Danish educational program<br />

for adults. Upon completion, he traveled in the Holy Land for three months before returning to Statesville.<br />

Bob began his ministry at Bethel Methodist Church in Hickory, in 1953, where he met and married Nancy Jane Marlow. Their children are Keith W. Bunch,<br />

born Jan. 13, 1959; Lee R. Bunch, born Jan. 3, 1969; Beth Carole Bunch Sawyer, born Jan. 3, 1964; and Eric A. Bunch, born March 11, 1965.<br />

His other appointments in the <strong>Western</strong> <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong> <strong>Conference</strong> were Ogburn Memorial United Methodist Church in Winston-Salem, 1956-60; Central<br />

United Methodist Church in Clyde, 1961-64; Central United Methodist Church in Denton, 1965-68; Forest Hill United Methodist Church in Concord, 1969-1970;<br />

First United Methodist Church in Thomasville, 1971-74; Groce United Methodist Church in Asheville, 1975-1979; and First United Methodist Church in Conover,<br />

1980-84. His last appointment before retirement, in 1985, was Bethel United Methodist in Winston-Salem where he served through 1989. In 1950, Bob<br />

served as Caravan Counselor for a Methodist Youth Caravan Team of college students in Mississippi. During his fi rst year at Bethel Church in Hickory, Bob was<br />

appointed to serve as District Director of Youth Work for the Statesville District.<br />

In retirement in Winston-Salem, Bob enjoyed gardening and further developed his expertise in propagating trees and shrubs which found homes in friends,<br />

neighbors, and family members’ yards. Traveling with Nancy, children, and grandchildren became a top priority and gave him many opportunities for developing<br />

his hobby of taking photos and slides.<br />

Bob maintained his home study after retirement and could often be found there writing his thoughts. Among his published articles are “Freed From Prison,”<br />

(The New Pulpit Digest, Jan-Feb. 1975), and devotions in The Upper Room. The following was written by Bob to his sister who had just been told that she had a<br />

terminal illness.<br />

Ah, Winter! You Come Too Soon!<br />

Ah Winter! You come too soon! And I was just getting ready to dance in the autumn leaves and drink in their beauty. I knew the days were<br />

getting shorter and that you were on your way…but now you tell me you are coming early and to do my mending while I can.<br />

Ah Winter! You come too soon! And I know not whether I’m ready for you. There are so many things I’d like to do, so many fences not mended,<br />

so many deeds undone, so many goals just tender dreams, so many lonely to befriend. Yes, I knew you’d come and no matter when…I’d not be<br />

ready to let you in.<br />

What would you say, O Winter Wind? Your Master’s not worried about the loose ends. He has tested the scales and found good measure and<br />

talents he can use for his heavenly ends and all that’s wanting is suffi ciently covered by his grace. No debts? No, no debts! All the scratches are<br />

erased by his forgiveness.<br />

Ah Winter! You come too soon! But then maybe there is something you can teach me about the seasons which I don’t yet know. I’m beginning<br />

to see that you are not the enemy I once thought you were. I knew that if you never came to visit me, there would come the day I’d long to see<br />

your face. Who knows, maybe in the tender mercies of your master he had some hidden reason to send you a little early tap on the shoulder<br />

and say, “A Friend would like for you to come to see Him…I’ll show you the way.”<br />

Ah Winter! Your winds are blowing and I know their fearful sound. Teach me to hear the music in your breezes and to see the beauty in your<br />

snow and rain. I’ll ask no forecast…just strength to live serenely with whatever each day may bring. I’ll ask no prophet ecstasies…just enough<br />

light to pilot my journey and nourish the hope in my heart.<br />

Ah Winter! Though you come so soon—may we be friends!<br />

Robert (Bob) Parham Bunch died Oct. 14, 2008, at the Hospice and Palliative Care Center Home in Winston-Salem. A service in celebration of his life was<br />

conducted at Maple Springs United Methodist Church by Dr. Terry Matthews and Rev. Anne Elmore with interment in the Bethel United Methodist Church<br />

cemetery in Winston-Salem, <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong>.<br />

Remembering Bob, Rev. Anne Elmore wrote…”though he was not great as the world counts greatness, he was great as God counts greatness. His devotion<br />

to Nancy, his fi erce love of his children and grandchildren, his faithful service in Christ’s church, his compassion, these are the things that matter in the end.<br />

Sickness and pain and loss are no longer issues of concern. He left this world in peace, knowing that his journey was ending, but content in the hope that he<br />

would see his Lord. May the promises of the scripture reassure us that our love for Bob – and his love for us – does not come to an end with death for love<br />

continues beyond death…”<br />

WILLIAM GRADY BURGIN, JR.<br />

April 26, 1943 – February 19, 2009<br />

William Grady Burgin, Jr. (Bill) was born in Waynesville, <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong>, on April 26, 1943, the son of the late Reverend W. Grady<br />

and Lois Lavender Burgin. He has one sister; the Reverend Dr. Nancy Burgin Rankin who is serving as the senior pastor of Blair<br />

Rd. United Methodist Church in Charlotte, <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong> and is married to Terry Allen Rankin. They have two children and fi ve<br />

grandchildren.<br />

Bill grew up in various United Methodist Church parsonages across the <strong>Western</strong> <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong> <strong>Conference</strong>. He was a Boy<br />

Scout, played the piano and drums, and graduated from High School in Forest City when his father was serving the Pleasant Grove<br />

United Methodist Church. He received an A.A. degree from Brevard College in Music Therapy and joined the United States Navy<br />

where he served as a medical corpsman in Vietnam. After his discharge from the Navy, he worked as a physician’s assistant,<br />

photographer, and freelance writer. He was an avid antiques collector, dealer, and appraiser. He received a B.S. degree from<br />

LaSalle University in 1995 and a M.S. degree from LaSalle University in 1997. He became a licensed local pastor in 2006 and was<br />

appointed to Shiloh United Methodist Church in Liberty, <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong>, where he served until the fall of 2007 when he had to take incapacity leave. He retired<br />

from the Annual <strong>Conference</strong> in 2008.<br />

Bill met Mary Lindley from Old Fort, <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong>, while they were attending Brevard College. They married on Aug. 30, 1963 and have three children:<br />

Kathy Lynn was born on Dec. 19, 1964. She married Tim Sisk and lives in Leicester, <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong>. Karen Cheryl was born on April 7, 1966. She married Mark<br />

McLaughlin and they have two children, Beth and Mark, Jr. and live in Leesburg, Virginia.<br />

William Clark was born on June 2, 1967. He married Leslie Wentz and they have a daughter, Haley and live in Mount Holly, <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong>.<br />

Bill and Mary were active laypersons in several United Methodist Churches during their 45 years of marriage. He served as chairperson of Finance, taught<br />

Disciple Bible Study, worked with Meals on Wheels, and served on the Disaster Relief Team of Clyde Central United Methodist Church in Clyde. It was through<br />

that church and the leadership of his pastors, the Reverend Chris Westmoreland and the Reverend Randy Tingle, that he fi nally accepted his calling into pastoral<br />

ministry. They sold their home near Lake Junaluska and Mary left her job as an administrative assistant at The Foundation for Evangelism to go and serve the<br />

Shiloh congregation.<br />

It was with great sadness that Bill had to take incapacity leave after he had to have heart surgery. They returned to Lake Junaluska where Mary resumed her<br />

work at The Foundation for Evangelism and they returned to Clyde Central United Methodist Church where Bill helped with teaching a Bible Study. Within a few<br />

months he was diagnosed with lung cancer and had a lung removed. His stomach was removed after a mass was discovered there and it seemed that he was<br />

cancer-free. During a time of chemotherapy treatments he continued to reach out to others who were going through treatments and he cherished visits from his<br />

family, church members, and fellow pastors. He was hospitalized during Christmas and cancer cells were discovered in his remaining lung. Mary and their three<br />

children surrounded him with love and excellent care along with the nurses and social workers of Hospice. He died being able to look out at Lake Junaluska and<br />

the <strong>Western</strong> <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong> mountains he loved.<br />

His Memorial Service was held at Clyde Central United Methodist Church in Clyde, <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong>, on Feb. 28, 2009, with the Reverend Randy Tingle and the<br />

Reverend Doctor Michael Leatherwood offi ciating. Music that had been written by Bill was played at his service. It was based on Psalm 61 from which this verse<br />

aptly describes Bill’s life: “So I will always sing praises to your name, as I pay my vows day after day.”<br />

DELTON FRANKLIN COLLINS<br />

May 7, 1955 - December 7, 2008<br />

Delton Collins was born in Robeson County, a proud Lumbee Native American who was steeped in the evangelical religious<br />

tradition of his people. He graduated from high school in 1973. Before his call into the ministry, Delton worked in farming and<br />

construction. Delton felt the call to preach, and after candidacy, he served churches in eastern <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong> and Florida. In<br />

1999, Delton began the long process of attending local pastor’s school every July at Duke Divinity School. Delton loved this time for<br />

the fellowship among other local pastors.<br />

In 2006, the <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong> <strong>Conference</strong> graciously agreed to share Delton with the <strong>Western</strong> <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong> <strong>Conference</strong>.<br />

Delton was appointed to serve Triad Native American United Methodist in Greensboro, <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong>. Triad Native American is<br />

predominantly made up of Lumbee Native Americans from Robeson County. Delton fi t right in, not only with the congregation but<br />

also with Native American population in the Triad. He always looked forward to praying at the Native American Cultural Center every<br />

year, at their annual bazaar.<br />

Delton was known as Brother Delton. He was a big teddy bear of a man who was known for his compassion and his caring. His gentle<br />

nature had a way of bringing peace to those around him. He was someone to which people naturally turned, not just because of his position,<br />

but because he brought a calm and gentle spirit to situations. Rabbi Edwin Freedman called people with Delton’s kind of disposition a “non-anxious presence”<br />

and that presence has a way of lowering the anxiety in all the rest of us. Delton fi t that description completely.<br />

Delton also had a way of reaching out to people and including them. He started a men’s chorus at Triad. He made sure the men had fi sh fries for the<br />

community. Greensboro was his parish and not just Triad Native American Church. He was involved in the revivals of other churches – Anglo and African<br />

American - as well as, Delton included people from other churches in Triad’s events. Brother Delton’s view of the Kingdom was there is a place for everyone at<br />

the table and his job was inviting them there and making sure they had a place.<br />

If he saw a need, he met it, like the day he visited someone whose heat wasn’t working. Next thing you knew, the woman had wood and a heater. He would<br />

give you what he had and not think a thing about sharing. He was simply there for people and people knew that. In his availability and vulnerability, people<br />

touched the love of Jesus. Brother Delton didn’t just believe in the incarnation, he lived it.<br />

On Dec. 7, he preached what some of his congregation said was one of his best sermons. Brother Delton said “that God was going to move in profound ways<br />

that day.” Little did we know how prophetic that was for Brother Delton and the congregation. Following the service, Brother Delton had a heart attack. Some of<br />

his closing words as the ambulance took him to the hospital were “pray for me.”<br />

His death leaves a void for his family and his congregation. Brother Delton is survived by two daughters, Ms. Emma Lee Collins and<br />

Ms. Chastity Collins, two step children, Mr. Ronnie Keith Locklear and Ms. Shawana Michelle Locklear, and a grandson, Master Malaki Franklin Collins. Brother<br />

Delton’s funeral service was held Dec. 11, 2008 at Prospect United Methodist in Maxton, <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong>, with the Rev. Dr. Kenneth Locklear, the Rev. Herbert<br />

Lowery, and the Rev. Jimmy Oxendine offi ciating and Mrs. Darlene Jacobs and Mrs. Christy Jacobs participating. A memorial service was held Dec. 21, 2008, at<br />

Triad Native American with the Rev. Kenneth Locklear and the Rev. Dr. Duke Ison offi ciating.<br />

1 Peter says “Come as living stones, and let yourselves be used in building the spiritual temple which you will serve as holy priests to offer spiritual and<br />

acceptable sacrifi ces to God through Jesus Christ.” (1 Peter 2.5) Brother Delton was one of those stones and exhibited the best of being a “caring pastor.” He<br />

leaves a good legacy of what it means to be a servant of the Lord.<br />

REECE EDWARD COOK, JR.<br />

October 19, 1941 – October 24, 2008<br />

When Reece Cook entered a sanctuary, his bright smile, eager eyes, and winsome personality communicated joy and hospitality.<br />

He embraced his call to preach the gospel with humble readiness and served each parish with fervor and conviction.<br />

Reece was born on Oct. 19, 1941, in Cabarrus County. He was the son of the late Reece Cook and Elsie Dover Cook. As a youth,<br />

he worked with pride at his father’s meat packing company in Concord and learned many relational skills through this business.<br />

After graduating from Mt. Pleasant High School, he matriculated at Catawba College. In the fall of 1965 he began his formal<br />

theological education at Duke Divinity School as a classmate of the two who are honored to author this memorial tribute. Reece<br />

served as a student pastor in the <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong> <strong>Conference</strong> while a student at Duke Divinity.<br />

Through Reece’s parish ministry, he sustained a vital friendship with his classmates from college and seminary and remained<br />

a loyal Blue Devil sports fan. Our memories encompass the many fun-fi lled occasions in which our families shared rental space at<br />

various apartment settings during the weeks of Annual <strong>Conference</strong> at Lake Junaluska.<br />

Reece gloried in the privilege of fatherhood and followed with pride the maturation of his daughter Celeste Cook Hubert, now living in Austin, Texas, and his<br />

son Jonathan Reece Cook of Los Angeles, California. He took pride in his fi ve grandchildren.<br />

Upon completion of his seminary training, Rev. Cook served with distinction the following parishes over a period of 39 years: Gastonia: Trinity (1968-71);<br />

Tyro (1971-75); Salisbury: Coburn Memorial (1975-81); Charlotte: Cole Memorial (1981-84); New Salem (1984-88); Greensboro: Carraway (1988-92); Midland:<br />

Bethel (1992-94); Midway (1994-98); Walkertown: Morris Chapel (1998-2002). In June of 2002, the Rev. Cook was appointed to Incapacity Leave after a career<br />

of faithful service.<br />

Parishioners in these nine fortunate congregations were touched by the life of a caring pastor who always gave the full measure of his devotion. He remained<br />

a consummate story-teller. He seemed to have an endless reservoir of humorous tales and joined in the robust laughter of his friends who eagerly listened to his<br />

delightful humor. But Reece remained a serious and devoted biblical scholar and considered preaching to be central to his Christian witness. On Feb. 12, 1989<br />

he married Elaine Willis Cook. The couple enjoyed 19 years of marital partnership in ministry and service to others.<br />

Even after an unfortunate dementia eroded his sharp wit and memory, Reece prepared mental sermons and planned strategy for evangelism. This servant of<br />

the Christ died in the peace and care of the Aldersgate Retirement Community in Charlotte. His funeral was conducted at Williamson’s Chapel United Methodist<br />

Church, Mooresville with Rev. Robert E. Fuquay, Rev. Henry Thompson and Rev. Andrea Smith offi ciating. Rev. Stephen Autrey conducted the grave side service<br />

at Morris Chapel United Methodist Church Cemetery in Walkertown, <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong>.<br />

Thanks be unto God for his legacy of faithfulness to the gospel of salvation and his proclamation of resurrection joy.<br />

LUTHER CRADY, JR.<br />

December 9, 1931 – May 28, 2008<br />

Luther Crady, Jr. was born Dec. 9, 1931, in Fagus, Missouri, the fi rst child of the late Luther Crady, Sr. and Najgy Adams Crady.<br />

He graduated from Moncks Corner (South <strong>Carolina</strong>) High School in 1950 and went to Washington, D.C., to work in the Identifi cation<br />

Division of the FBI, before reporting to Parris Island in 1951 to enlist in the U.S. Marine Corps. He served as sergeant in the Korean<br />

War and then began his ministry in 1957. He took a position as youth minister at <strong>North</strong> Charleston Methodist Church, where<br />

he met and married his beloved Patricia Harned in 1959. She accompanied him throughout his many appointments in the Low<br />

Country of South <strong>Carolina</strong>. They<br />

welcomed daughter Karen, son Brian, who is now a minister in the <strong>Western</strong> <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong> <strong>Conference</strong>, and daughter Edwina. The<br />

family remembers a great deal of fun spent fi shing and avoiding man-eating spiders on Edisto Island.<br />

Luther attained a bachelor’s degree from Columbia College in South <strong>Carolina</strong> in 1961. While obtaining his Master of Divinity<br />

from Wesley Theological Seminary in Washington, D.C., he served a circuit of fi ve churches in the Shenandoah Valley of West<br />

Virginia. In 197, he took a Master of Education degree from the University of South <strong>Carolina</strong>, before joining the <strong>Western</strong> <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong> <strong>Conference</strong>, fi rst serving<br />

as Minister of Education at Groce UMC in Asheville. Moves to Mocksville, Arcadia, Hickory, Statesville, Boonville and Asheboro followed. Luther retired from Flag<br />

Springs UMC, in 1999.<br />

In 1997, Luther published By The Waters of Babylon, a collection of essays refl ecting on the evolution of Christianity he witnessed throughout his ministry.<br />

He wrote, “Why do I write? I want you to be able to give a reasonable account of what, why, and who you believe (1 Peter 3:15, 16) or don’t believe. It’s very<br />

important. Someone else is depending on you…The pilgrimage is always in the company of others, some ahead of you and others behind you. Knowing that<br />

there are others on the way with you is encouragement and support to continue the journey.”<br />

In retirement, Luther still felt compelled to serve and took on several churches as interim pastor. He always enjoyed the constant tending of his gardens<br />

through which he witnessed the miracle of nature. In the smell of a fl ower, the ripening of a tomato, and the intricate design of a tree’s branches, he witnessed<br />

God’s majesty. He spent much of his time feeding his unquenchable thirst for knowledge by reading many books covering topics as Broad as philosophy and<br />

religion and as specifi c as the wisdom literature—Walt Kelly’s Pogo. One of his greatest pleasures was a cup of hot coffee. He also volunteered with Meals on<br />

Wheels and Forsyth Medical Center.<br />

Luther joined the church triumphant on May 28, 2008, after a lengthy bout with lung cancer. Always faithful and strong, he was never fearful and anticipated<br />

his homecoming, happy to be rejoining those who went before him. A celebration of life was held on June 1, 2008, at Flag Springs UMC, in Asheboro.<br />

To the many congregations he served, and especially to his family, Luther’s quiet grace inspired an uncompromising sense of honor and dignity, and taught,<br />

through his example, the importance of honesty, hard work, integrity, compassion and more than anything else, love and family. He never underestimated the<br />

effect a kind word could have on his fellow man, and was always willing to lend his advice, his talent, or simply his company. His kindness, strength, patience,<br />

warmth, and love will live on always in his family, his friends, and the many he reached through his sermons.<br />

“The time of my departure has come. I have fought the good fi ght. I have fi nished the race. I have kept the faith.” 2 Timothy 4:6b-7.<br />

churches. He retired in 1988 and he and Ruth moved to their home in Kernersville, <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong>. In retirement, he enjoyed fi shing, walking, gardening, reading<br />

and traveling.<br />

It was my privilege to have known Ed for over 40 years and I appreciated his friendship.<br />

JAMES ERNEST HULL<br />

June 30, 1928 – May 6, 2008<br />

The <strong>Western</strong> <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong> <strong>Conference</strong> and all of United Methodism lost one of their most gifted leaders in Wesleyan faith<br />

and practice when the Reverend Dr. James Earnest Hull joined the Church Triumphant on Tuesday, May 6, 2008, with his devoted<br />

wife, Jo, at his side. A Memorial Service was conducted on Saturday, May <strong>10</strong>, at West Market St. United Methodist Church in<br />

Greensboro, by the Senior Pastor, the Reverend Dr. David S. Melton, the Reverend Randy Kanipe, the Reverend Dr. Emmett Floyd,<br />

and the Reverend William B. Ellison.<br />

Born in Laurel, Mississippi, on June 30, 1928, Dr. Hull was the son of the late T. R. Hull and Gladys Evelyn Reeves Hull.<br />

He graduated from Murphy High School in Mobile, Alabama, was licensed to preach in 1948, and thereafter received an A.B.<br />

from Southern Methodist University in 1950, graduated cum laude with a M.Div. from Southern Methodist University in 1952,<br />

and earned the Ph.D. degree from the University of Edinburgh, Scotland, in 1959. Dr. Hull pursued additional study at Oxford,<br />

Cambridge and Yale Universities and as a Lilly Scholar at Duke University. He was admitted on trial by the Alabama-West Florida<br />

Annual <strong>Conference</strong> in 1950, ordained deacon in 1952, and admitted into full connection and ordained elder in 1953. Jim transferred to the <strong>Western</strong> <strong>North</strong><br />

<strong>Carolina</strong> Annual <strong>Conference</strong> in 1967.<br />

Dr. Hull enlisted as a Methodist Chaplain in 1953, serving in the United States Navy with two tours of duty in the Philippines, the Aleutin Islands and at the<br />

U.S. Marine Corps School in Quantico, Virginia. While earning the Ph.D. in Edinburgh, Scotland, Jim served as Associate Minister at St. Mary’s Kirk, Haddington,<br />

the birthplace of John Knox. From 1959 to 1960, Dr. Hull served as the senior teaching Minister at Scarsdale Congregational Church, Scarsdale, New York. In<br />

1960, Jim Hull became the Chairperson of the Religion and Philosophy Department and Chair of Humanities Division. Jim taught at Lambeth until 1966, when<br />

he accepted the position as professor and chair of the Religion and Philosophy Department at Greensboro College. From 1976, until his retirement in 1997, Dr.<br />

Hull held the Jefferson-Pilot Chair of Learning. Professor Hull also taught summer school on the faculty of Guilford College in the Center for Continuing Education,<br />

and Illif School of Theology, Denver, Colorado. Upon his retirement, he accepted positions as adjunct professor of Religion at High Point University, the Virginia<br />

Pastor’s School and held an Ecumenical Bible Class in Greensboro on Tuesday afternoons for over 20 years.<br />

Jim Hull met Jo Welch when he was serving as a Navy Chaplain in Quantico, Virginia. They married in Washington, D.C. on July 7, 1956.<br />

To this union were born three beloved sons: Alan Walter, Sept. 28, 1957 (now deceased); Timothy Olen, Oct. 9, 1959; and Richard James Hull,<br />

Feb. 26, 1961. Nothing meant more to Dr. Hull than spending time with his wife nearly 52 years and his family: his son, Timothy and Mary Kay McDonald Hull of Cary,<br />

<strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong>; his son, Richard and Lisa Ridley Hull, and grandchildren, Whitney Jane Hull, Brandon Welch Hull and Chase Alan Hull all of Broomfi eld, Colorado;<br />

and with sisters, Jane and June of California and 14 nieces and nephews.<br />

Jim and Jo served faithfully as offi cers of the P.T.A. of both Joyner Elementary and Mendenhall Middle School in Greensboro. Jo and Jim modeled the<br />

importance of family time especially around the dinner table. When persons would call during the dinner hour, Jim would say, “I’m sorry we are in the midst of<br />

dinner, can we call you back?” Nothing was more sacred than time spent with their sons around the dinner table in the evening. Students at Greensboro College<br />

were privileged to eat at Jo and Jim’s table, realizing the importance of meals and conversation as a means of God’s redemptive grace.<br />

Dr. Hull embodied the Wesleyan Ethos as a great ecumenist, a man of impeccable integrity and deep passion for others to know God’s radical grace. In 1966,<br />

Jim introduced the “Festival of Lessons and Carols” from Kings College, Cambridge to Greensboro College and the greater Greensboro Community. In 1972,<br />

while chairman of the Department of Religion and Philosophy at Greensboro College, Dr. Hull invited a Roman Catholic Priest, the Rt. Rev. Monsignor Hugh Dolan<br />

and Jewish Rabbi Arnold Task to join with him in teaching the area’s fi rst interfaith course, “Contemporary Religious Perspectives.” Hundreds of Dr. Hull’s former<br />

students had the privilege of taking this marvelous course and learned to value the faith traditions of our Judeo-Christian heritage. Moreover, in 1982, Jo and<br />

Jim Hull co-founded the Piedmont Interfaith Council, which brought together representatives from all religious, racial, and national traditions. Two of the most<br />

celebrated programs are the annual community-wide ecumenical celebrations of Thanksgiving and the Triad Tapestry Children’s Chorus.<br />

John Wesley said, “The world is my parish” and Jim Hull believed, “The world is my classroom,” as he and Jo’s partnership in ministry infl uenced thousands of<br />

students at Lambeth University and Greensboro College and thousands more in the world-wide community. Through his creative genius and love for multi-media,<br />

Dr. Hull was asked to write celebration services for: The World Methodist Council in Denver, Colorado; the bi-centennial celebration of <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong> Methodism<br />

at Duke University, and Baccalaureate services for UNC-Greensboro and A&T State University. Jim was also featured in fi lms “Return By Sea” (U.M.C.) and<br />

“The Truth Shall Make You Free” (Jewish Chautauqua Society). Many awards and honors have been bestowed upon Dr. Hull in the academy and by The United<br />

Methodist Church, including the Outstanding Faculty Alumni Award and the fi rst annual Exemplary Teaching Citation awarded by the General Board of Higher<br />

Education of the UMC in 1992.<br />

Many of us whom were privileged to have Dr. Hull as a teacher remember his words of comfort during times of distress and self-doubt, “Lad (or Lassie) I will<br />

believe in you until you can believe in yourself.” He meant every word of it. In fact, when speaking with Jo about Jim’s humility and purpose in teaching at a small<br />

liberal arts college she simply replied, “After graduating from the University of Edinburgh with a Ph.D., Jim had many offers to teach at major seminaries and<br />

universities across the country. He stated that he did not limit his teaching to future pastors, but Jim wanted to also infl uence future nurses, doctors, lawyers,<br />

accountants, teachers, special educators, social workers, and future leaders with biblical theology and praxis.”<br />

On behalf of the thousands of students whose lives will never be the same after knowing Dr. James E. Hull, I say, “Thanks be to God”. I remember the words<br />

of scripture, “For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.” (Luke 14:11) In Jim Hull’s humility God exalted him<br />

to build bridges between faith communities, to encourage students to stay on the path of faith, to challenge fellow faculty to believe in their high calling, and to<br />

impact the world for Christ. One of the gentle giants of our time has left us with an indelible impression of the Gospel proclaimed in word and deed.<br />

<strong>Western</strong> <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong> <strong>Conference</strong><br />

JOHN BERNARD HURLEY<br />

September 30, 1922 – February 7, 2009<br />

His hometown newspaper announced that on Feb. 7, 2009, J. Bernard Hurley was “Promoted to Glory.” That, indeed, is what<br />

happened as a career in love and ministry was celebrated through the culmination of God’s eternal gift of everlasting life.<br />

“Well done thou good and faithful servant.”<br />

Bernard Hurley was born in Asheboro, <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong> on Sept. 30, 1922. The youngest of three children to John Henry Hurley<br />

and Nan Allred Hurley, Bernard grew up watching his father run the family grocery store while developing his own talents in his<br />

passion for music. His fi rst and life-long love of blended harmonies and carefully noted strings found full expression in a <strong>Western</strong><br />

string band that proudly played the local theatres and produced a weekly radio broadcast. “The Rhythm Ramblers” patterned<br />

themselves after the timely popular Roy Rogers and the “Sons of the Pioneers.” College, graduate schools, and seminary would<br />

eventually end the music dreams of those fi ve friends of national stardom. But in the early 1980’s those fi ve fellows had several<br />

reunions which resulted in family members and old friends from the east and west coast describing those musical performances<br />

as “surprisingly good!”<br />

What was really good was the way music was always a part of Bernard’s ministry. Whether his strong tenor voice was leading the singing or keen ear was<br />

helping the congregation modulate into the next octave, his spirit-fi lled smile left no doubt that God, in part, had called this man to “make a joyful noise.” To<br />

stand beside Bernard and sing the great hymns of the church was a joy all its own. To hear him preach with distinction was an indelible memory. He knew the<br />

value of Heaven’s Song and God’s Word.<br />

Bernard received his Bachelor of Arts degree from Catawba College and his Master of Divinity degree from Duke University. He helped establish St. James<br />

Methodist Church in Thomasboro, <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong> and served Main St., Salisbury. He was an associate pastor at First Methodist, Charlotte, and then pastored<br />

First Church, Liberty; St. Paul, Charlotte; Hickory Grove, Charlotte; College Place, Greensboro; First Church, Waynesville; Trinity, Kannapolis; and First Church,<br />

Brevard. He retired in 1982. During his active ministry he was sent on a preaching mission to Anchorage, Alaska by the Board of Ministries; to Warrenton,<br />

England by the Board of Evangelism, and to New Haven, Connecticut, to conduct a study on alcoholism at Yale University.<br />

He was an active camper and took his family to all 48 states plus much of Canada, Newfoundland, and Mexico. In retirement, he drove to Alaska twice on the<br />

Alaska Hwy. before it was paved. His love of music overfl owed in his later years as he was instrumental in getting “The Sons of the Pioneers” to Lake Junaluska,<br />

and to the State Fair in Raleigh, where Roy Rogers joined the group. Bernard also gave the opening remarks and prayer at the fi rst <strong>Western</strong> Musical Festival held<br />

in Las Vegas in 1987.<br />

He was married to Doris Dreibelbis Hurley. They have four children, nine grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren. Bernard Hurley’s retirement was spent<br />

at Lake Junaluska where gardening, music, and guest preaching fi lled his days while he and Doris absorbed the beauty and peacefulness of the <strong>Western</strong> <strong>North</strong><br />

<strong>Carolina</strong> Mountains. Enjoying a life free of any major illnesses or surgery, cancer was detected in the spring of 2008. In January of 2009, that cancer had spread<br />

to life-threatening levels and was the cause of his earthly death on Feb. 7, 2009. The medical and Hospice services of Haywood County were unfailing in their<br />

care and comfort during his last days. His memory goes forward with those who knew him best and his legacy of Christian devotion and an abounding love of his<br />

Lord is refl ected through the many lives he was privileged to know and serve.<br />

The Family of John Bernard Hurley<br />

LETCHFORD BAINE LAYE, SR.<br />

April 12, 1917 – April 29, 2008<br />

Letchford Baine Laye, Sr. was born on April 12, 1917, in Charlotte, <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong>, the fourth child in a family of seven children<br />

born to Vetter Baine and Ila Keever Laye. He died on April 29, 2008, at Life Care of Hendersonville following a brief illness. “L.B.” or<br />

“L. Baine” or “Boots” as he was affectionately called by family members, close friends, congregants of the churches, and patients<br />

he served during his 40 years of ministry as a church pastor and hospital chaplain, was married on Jan. 30, 1938 to Laura Mae<br />

Torrence. She was also a Charlotte native who, with her family, moved to Cramerton in Gaston County when she was a child. Laura<br />

preceded L.B. in death, on Dec. 27, 2003. They would have been married 65 years. L.B. and Laura have three children. They are<br />

daughters, Janis L. Bell of Mechanicsville, Virginia, and Gwendolyn L. Freeman of Hendersonville, <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong>, and a son, L.<br />

Baine “Skip”<br />

Laye, Jr. of Orange Park, Florida. They have fi ve grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. They were preceded in death by their<br />

fi rst grandson.<br />

L.B. received his education in the public schools of Gaston County, Lenoir-Rhyne College, and extension courses from the U.S. Navy and Emory University. He<br />

was a U.S. Navy Veteran of World War II.<br />

His pastoral appointments included the Grace Chapel-Rhodhiss Charge, Statesville District, 1947 to 1952; Stony Point, Statesville-<strong>North</strong> Wilkesboro District,<br />

1952 to 1956; Cliffside, Marion District,1956 to 1961; Weaverville, Asheville District, from 1961 to 1967; and, Black Mountain, Asheville District, from 1967 to<br />

1969. During the last 15 years of his ministry he served on special appointments as a clinical chaplain and program coordinator with the <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong> State<br />

Department of Human Resources.<br />

Prior to and at the time of retirement, L.B. and Laura made their home in Black Mountain and remained active in the Black Mountain United Methodist<br />

Church. In October of 1990, they moved to Hendersonville to a home they purchased next door to their daughter Gwen, and her family.<br />

Many things of praise-worthy note could be said by many people for the life and ministry of Letchford Baine Laye, Sr. As we, as a family, prepare this memoir<br />

and tribute to our father, we are receiving many kind words, and other expressions from many people, who through the years, came to know him and appreciate<br />

his love for and friendship with them.<br />

We could spend long hours arranging thoughts and words for a fi tting memorial to L.B., his love for his fellow beings, and his service to others. However, we<br />

feel we could do no better than to share these thoughts from one of his good friends in the ministry, the Rev. Thad McDonald, now also deceased.<br />

L.B. had been in the retired status for just a few years when Rev. McDonald invited him to preach in a service at First United Methodist Church in Marion,<br />

<strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong>. On the fi rst page of the bulletin that Sunday, Rev. McDonald introduced L.B. to his congregation in these words:<br />

In the McDonald Hall of Fame there is a gallery of “The Ten Most Effective Ministers I Have Known.” High on that list is the name of L.B. Laye.<br />

Little children spontaneously fl ock around him. Teenagers smile when they see him coming. Young married couples welcome him as they begin<br />

their lives together. People in their middle years fi nd a delightful companion and understanding friend. The elderly have always loved him. Men<br />

and boys love to hunt, fi sh, camp, and golf, and attend sporting events with him. Every church he has served has shown marked improvement<br />

under his preaching, pastoral care, and administrative leadership. One of the most rewarding blessings of my ministry has been to know L.B.<br />

Laye and to work with him in The Master’s Name.<br />

We thank Rev. McDonald for his kind and gracious words. He came to know and love L.B., as we, his family, have. We can attest to the accuracy of<br />

Rev. McDonald’s descriptive terms as we grew up in the parsonages and observed our father as he preached sermons and served the needs of church<br />

congregations; as he taught high school classes; as he worked with boys and young men as their leader in the Boy Scouts of America - when in 1963 he was<br />

given the honor of serving as the Southeastern Regional Chaplain at the National Boy Scout Jamboree at Valley Forge, Pennsylvania; and, as a chaplain to those<br />

who lay on hospital beds.<br />

We, too, have known rewarding blessings from the total ministry of L.B. Laye, Sr. and we commend his soul to Almighty God with every assurance that he is<br />

receiving divine rewards far beyond his earthly desires and expectations. We thank our father for the blessings of his life. Farewell and Godspeed.<br />

By his own request, the body of L.B. was cremated. A Memorial Service will be held at the Black Mountain United Methodist Church on a date to be<br />

announced later. L.B.’s daughters and son will participate in that service. The remains of L.B. will lie next to his wife, Laura, in Gaston Memorial Cemetery in<br />

Gastonia, <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong>.<br />

GLENN LEE LYLES<br />

November 5, 1930 – December 24, 2008<br />

While some may want the best seat and others only want to be seen, all Glenn Lyles ever wanted was to serve. Born in<br />

Watertown, Tennessee, to the late John B. Lyles and Fannie Bailey Lyles, Glenn professed a hope in Christ at an early age and<br />

joined the Dowell Chapel Methodist Church. In 1946, he was licensed to preach.<br />

After graduation from high school, he attended Tennessee State University. Glenn served his country in the United States Army<br />

(SP-4) with a tour of duty in Germany and was awarded the National Defense Service Medal, the Army Occupation Medal, and the<br />

Good Conduct Medal. He returned to Tennessee State University where he received the Bachelor of Arts Degree in 1959. Glenn<br />

taught in the school systems of Tennessee and Kentucky.<br />

Hearing God’s calling to him into servant leadership, he enrolled and was graduated in 1965 with a Master of Divinity degree<br />

from the Interdenominational Theological Center (ITC) at Gammon Theological Seminary in Atlanta, Georgia. He was ordained a<br />

deacon in 1962 and Elder in 1965. In 1972, he met and married the love of his life, Barbara Mason and to this union was born two<br />

delightful daughters, Erica and Dana.<br />

Glenn faithfully served congregations in Tennessee and Kentucky before transferring from the Louisville <strong>Conference</strong> to the <strong>Western</strong> <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong> <strong>Conference</strong><br />

in 1972. He gave the best of his service to the following congregations in <strong>Western</strong> <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong>: Smith Memorial-Harper’s Chapel (1972-1979); Brooks Temple-<br />

St. Stephens (1979-1984); Union Memorial (1984-1990); Saints Home-St. James (1990-1994); Mt. Tabor-Celia Phelps (1994-2000); he retired and served<br />

Raleigh’s Crossroad (2000-2001); retired again and served Zion Hill (2002); retired, yet again, and served the Madison Circuit (2004-2005). Glenn then retired<br />

for good, but continued to support the churches and the conference with his presence, time, and witness.<br />

As a pastor, Glenn had a profound effect on my life. It was under his leadership that I answered the call to Christian ministry. Throughout the entire process<br />

Glenn showed love, support and encouragement. I am just one of several pastors he mentored. Glenn<br />

would be so proud of Phyllis Coates who will be ordained elder at this session of Annual <strong>Conference</strong>. His legacy lives after him.<br />

Celebration of Life Services were held on Monday, Dec. 29, 2008, at St. Matthews United Methodist Church in Greensboro, <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong>. The Rev. Phyllis<br />

Coates of Raleigh’s Crossroads United Methodist Church presided. Rev. Liston Sellers, Rev. Elijah Freeman, Rev. John Epps, Dr. Paul Perkins, Sr., and Dr. Samuel<br />

H. Moore, Jr. all participated in the service and Dr. Arnetta E. Beverly delivered the eulogy. Glenn was laid to rest in Guilford Memorial Park Cemetery.<br />

He leaves to celebrate his life and memory his wife of 36 years, Barbara Mason Lyles, two daughters, Erica Annette and Dana Lynn of Greensboro, <strong>North</strong><br />

<strong>Carolina</strong>; a sister, Mattie Owens, of Milwaukee, Wisconsin; a special nephew, Garry Lyles of Lebanon, Tennessee; a host of friends, relatives and colleagues.<br />

He came not for a seat; not to be seen but to serve. Well done, good and faithful Servant, now take your rest.<br />

DELMA LEE MONEY<br />

September 3, 1946 – April 9, 2009<br />

The very fi rst evening I met Delma Lee Money at Lake Junaluska, I stayed up into the wee hours of the morning discussing<br />

theology because he was just that fascinating to talk with and because he had the energy to keep the debate going for fi ve hours<br />

straight. He never seemed to tire of talking theology or politics, but often would reveal his dry wit and humor by telling a joke from<br />

his vast library of jokes, always, though, coming back to the subjects that stirred his passion like evangelism and church growth.<br />

Even that fi rst night he not only proved himself to possess a bright mind, but also to be a very challenging debate partner and a<br />

fast friend.<br />

The very next year, 1990, I had the great fortune to move into the Lexington District with Lee and serve the next parish over<br />

from Lee, who served the West End Church in Thomasville. We soon became the back-benchers at the monthly district meetings<br />

that were required and co-conspirators at weekly Lion’s Club meetings and monthly meetings of a very stale local ministerium.<br />

Lee jokingly claimed our mission in all three groups was to “convert the Baptists to real religion.” We did however learn to be as<br />

invisible as possible at district meetings, having suffered early on the consequences of having very public profi les as young unconventional pastors. In other<br />

words, we were still working through ordination and wanted to make it through the process so we did not try to call too much attention to ourselves. We did fi nally<br />

make it through ordination, with Lee being ordained on probation as a deacon in 1989, and ordained elder in full connection in 1992. Through this process Lee<br />

remained very unique and different in his understanding of his pastoral identity which formed the strength of his ministry. He was able to reach out to the many<br />

unchurched and “turned off by church folks” and attract them to a relationship with Jesus Christ and then the church.<br />

Lee was never pretentious, always knowing from where he came, which was Surry County. He was born in Elkin, the day after Labor Day<br />

(Sept. 3, 1946) and brought home to the Fairview Community near Pilot Mountain, which, no matter where he roamed, he always would come home to. He was<br />

very proud of the area and maintained a home there throughout his traveling ministry. His route from Surry County into the ministry led him through several<br />

careers before, in his own words, “he stopped fi ghting God.” His other careers included working for the railRd., selling cars, and working in textiles. When he<br />

fi nally gave in to God, he acted upon faith, and took a very a substantial pay cut so he could attend school at Surry Community College, not knowing where the<br />

money was going to come from to support his young daughter, Kim, and his wife, Marilyn. When Lee graduated in 1983, with an Associate Degree from SCCC, he<br />

began his career in the ministry.<br />

Lee began by serving as a local pastor near Mount Airy, serving the Surry Circuit which included a church in Virginia, which he loved to speak about being a<br />

part of the <strong>Western</strong> <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong> <strong>Conference</strong>. In typical Lee fashion, his next step was not Course of Study, but instead to follow the college and seminary track<br />

because he believed that it would make him a better pastor. But not just any school. No! Lee, in typical unconventional fashion, chose to be a minority student<br />

(Caucasian) in a predominantly minority (African American) school and attended Winston-Salem State University where he graduated in 1985. He prided himself<br />

not only in accomplishing this but of the relationships he made while in school with professors and with fellow students.<br />

Lee next set his sights on Duke University as a place for Divinity School. His classmates there remembered that he reveled in the opportunities to talk with<br />

professors there about theology and ministry often staying for hours after class to explore answers to his questions or discuss articles he had read in obscure<br />

journals. He never stopped this inquisitiveness throughout life, in any subject matter whether it was the antique cars he collected and their histories, the area<br />

around his beach home that he owned for a time, or theology. His love to talk theology was always premier and while he served Wesley Chapel near Pfeiffer<br />

University, from 1995-1997, he continued this pattern of fi nding someone with whom he could discuss theology and especially its application for ethics, this<br />

time among the faculty of the religion department. He was always profoundly loving and generous, often sacrifi cing his own time and money to help someone.<br />

He was a foster parent to several kids during this time and his future son-in-law lived with him while in school at Pfeiffer. He left this parish to move closer to his<br />

wife Marilyn’s career and landed at Pisgah UMC in Kernersville, where he had a wonderful ministry. It was the next parish that would mark a real turning point in<br />

his life.<br />

He was so excited about moving to Bethlehem in the Statesville District he could not contain himself. And for a time he really enjoyed himself there. He was<br />

on top of the world. His daughter, Kim, had graduated from college and he took pride in her marriage to his “second son.” Then tragedy struck in the form of his<br />

daughter’s untimely death in the spring of 2001 in an automobile accident. It was something that was a great wound that was essentially too much for the very<br />

sensitive and caring man that Lee was. He tried to continue in parish ministry after this, but Kim’s death took away his joy and enthusiasm in ministry. Finally in<br />

July, 2002, he decided that he could not maintain the level of service to others with such a burden to carry himself, and left the active parish ministry to retreat<br />

to his home in Surry County. There he continued to serve his fellow pastors by fi lling pulpits from time to time, but more importantly he would always provide a<br />

generous ear to listen to their challenges and diffi culties. He saw this as his calling in his “early retirement.”<br />

There is an old saying that “only the good die young.” This saying is not saying that we die young, but rather the passing of those who are real gifts to life from<br />

God, that when they do pass, it is far too early for those who remain and loved them. Lee died too young.<br />

KENNETH ROBBINS MOORE, SR.<br />

August 21, 1920 – May 23, 2008<br />

It is said, “Still water runs deep.” That was certainly true of our friend and brother Kenneth Moore. This quiet and dedicated<br />

man was a person with deep convictions and the courage to live up to them even though it might be unpopular to do so. He truly<br />

marched to the sound of a different drummer.<br />

Kenneth was born in Catawba, <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong>, on Aug. 21, 1920. He was the son of the late George Ivey and Iola Robbins<br />

Moore. He was one of four sons, two of whom became full-time servants of Christ. Mr. Moore graduated from Central High School<br />

in Charlotte. Like many of his contemporaries Ken served in the military in World War II and was a member of the 78th (Lightning)<br />

Infantry Division. During his service in Europe he was wounded and was honored for his bravery with the Combat Infantry Badge,<br />

the Purple Heart, and the Bronze Star.<br />

Ken began his Christian journey with a profession of faith and by becoming a member of Dilworth United Methodist Church in<br />

Charlotte as a teenager. Under the tutelage of Dr. Howard Powell, he matured in his faith and taught a youth Sunday School class<br />

whose membership included Thomas A. Langford who later became Dean of Duke Divinity School.<br />

Upon returning from service, Kenneth married his sweetheart, Sara Helen Copley, on Jan. 14, 1946, and they began the long Rd. toward his becoming a<br />

Methodist minister. He began his education at Wingate Junior College and often rode a motorized bicycle to get to and from his classes. He then enrolled in<br />

High Point College and received his undergraduate degree in 1948. He served as a student pastor while pursuing his degree in theology at Duke Divinity School,<br />

graduating in 1951. For the next 37 years he served 11 appointments in the <strong>Western</strong> <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong> <strong>Conference</strong> with faithfulness and dignity: Asheboro Circuit,<br />

1950-1952; Morven,1952-1955; Weddington, 1955-1959; St. Mark’s, Charlotte, 1959-1963, where he was the founding pastor and led the church in its growth<br />

to over 300 members; <strong>North</strong> Kannapolis, 1963-1966; Myrtle, Gastonia, 1966-1970; Ward St., High Point, 1970-74; Asbury Memorial, Asheville, 1974-1976;<br />

Bethlehem, Greensboro, 1976-1980; Oak Grove, Charlotte, 1980-1984; Eden: Spray, 1984-1987.<br />

One of Kenneth’s pursuits in retirement was to serve as Chaplain of the National Federation of Music Clubs for a number of years, traveling to many cities<br />

in the United States to participate in their meetings. He was also a member of the Euterpe Music Club in Greensboro. A Memorial Service for Kenneth was<br />

conducted on May 31, 2008, by his pastors, the Reverends Jan Brittain and Susan Norman Vickers, at Christ United Methodist Church in Greensboro. He and<br />

Sara Helen worshipped there almost every Sunday of his 21 years of retirement, as long as his health permitted.<br />

One of the saddest experiences of Kenneth’s life was the untimely death of his son and namesake, the Reverend Kenneth R. (Robbie) Moore, Jr., on July 4,<br />

1999. Ken is survived by his wife of 62 years, Sara Helen Copley Moore; daughter Cindy Abromaitis and husband Fred, of Gastonia; son David and wife Tamera,<br />

of Davidson; three grandchildren, a brother, the Reverend Richard T. Moore of Pineville, and daughter-in-law Carole Herndon Moore of Belmont; and several<br />

nephews and nieces.<br />

Kenneth was a dedicated and faithful servant of God and a true man of faith. He was a loving husband and a caring father and grandfather. His long life was<br />

due in part to his maintenance of his health by his yard work, gardening, and riding his 18-speed mountain bike for thousands of days and miles on the St.s and<br />

trails of western Greensboro. It was a pleasure and honor to have known and served with such a humble and dedicated man.<br />

JOHN SILAS OAKLEY<br />

September 12, 1914 – November 5, 2008<br />

John Silas Oakley was born Sept. 12, 1914, in Yadkin County, Jonesville, <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong>, to Methodist minister Daniel Allen<br />

Oakley and Bessie Spencer Oakley. He died Nov. 5, 2008, at Arbor Acres United Methodist Retirement Community in Winston-<br />

Salem, at the age of 94. John was preceded in death by his wife of 65 years, Ola Stevenson Oakley, on April 1, 2000 and a son,<br />

John Daniel Oakley, on Sept. 24, 2005. He is survived by his daughters, Peggy Slack of Denton, <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong>, and Barbara<br />

Kiker and her husband Harold of Peachland, <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong>; grandchildren Michelle Tucker and her husband Dean of Lexington,<br />

<strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong>; Scott Kiker of Peachland, <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong>; Adam, Andrew and Abigail Oakley of Thomasville, <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong>; greatgrandchildren,<br />

Heath and Seth Tucker; and daughter-in-law Lori Oakley of Thomasville, <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong>.<br />

John graduated from High Point College in 1949 with a B.A. degree. He received a D.D. degree in 2001 from John Wesley<br />

College in High Point, <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong>. He was honored for his continued support and devotion to the college. Once in a time of<br />

economic distress, John located a building for John Wesley College, which at that time was located in Greensboro. He raised funds<br />

for them to relocate and restructure in High Point, its present day location. This restructuring led to the successful institution that John Wesley College is today.<br />

John’s home church was South Lenoir Methodist Church, where he was converted and called to follow his Lord in ministry. John’s services as a member of<br />

the <strong>Western</strong> <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong> <strong>Conference</strong> began with his reception on trial, Sept. 26, 1949. He was ordained deacon in 1951 and admitted to full connection and<br />

ordained elder in 1953. His appointments included: Thomasville: West End; 1944-1948; Farmington Charge, 1948-1951; Denton Circuit, 1951-1955; Salisbury:<br />

Parkway-Pine Grove-Oakboro, 1955-1958; Charlotte: Peachland, 1958-1961; High Point: Coleridge, 1961-1964; Statesville: Friendship, 1963-1969; Concord-<br />

Hopewell, 1969-1972; Thomasville:<br />

Ebenezer-Christ Chapel, 1972-1975; Salisbury: 1975-1978. In 1978, John retired from the <strong>Western</strong> <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong> <strong>Conference</strong>. Upon his retirement, John and<br />

Ola moved to Denton, <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong>. John remained in Denton for several years after Ola’s death, until he moved to Arbor Acres United Methodist Retirement<br />

Community.<br />

After retiring to Denton, John and Ola joined First United Methodist Church. Even in retirement, John continued to seize every opportunity to be in service to<br />

God. In fact, John was happiest when he was speaking about Jesus Christ, whether it was on the St. witnessing, in the church delivering a sermon, or simply<br />

leading in prayer in church or in his home. His son, Danny, told a story of one of the last times he and John attended the John Wesley Camp Meeting. One of the<br />

leaders of the meeting asked if they could invite John to say a few words. Danny stated that it would be better not to ask John to stand to deliver a sermon due<br />

to his deteriorating health, just ask him to lead in prayer and he would be good for 15 minutes. The leader of the camp meeting did exactly as Danny said and<br />

John’s prayer was almost exactly 15 minutes. He was so excited about delivering the “good news” that he sometimes got carried away.<br />

John was a great supporter of the <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong> Christian Advocate, the former <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong> United Methodist newspaper. He was honored many times<br />

for the greatest number of subscriptions sold. He received plaques and was honored on several occasions in the Christian Advocate. On one occasion, John<br />

approached Rev. Chip Webb about purchasing a subscription to the Christian Advocate. Chip told John he did not have the money with him at the time, so John<br />

told one of Chip’s members to loan Chip $<strong>10</strong> for an Advocate subscription and Chip would repay him.<br />

John was one of the greatest supporters of the Brotherhood/Sisterhood of the <strong>Western</strong> <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong> <strong>Conference</strong>. Anytime he visited in a church he<br />

requested the opportunity to say a few words about the Brotherhood/Sisterhood, share some literature, and hopefully sign up a few new supporters.<br />

Both chaplains at Arbor Acres United Methodist Retirement Community were present in John’s room when he passed away and they told his family that they<br />

did not believe they had ever had a resident that had a more profound effect on the home.<br />

John loved his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, and he was always willing to share his faith with anyone who would listen. He always said, “He could not wait for<br />

the day that he would see Jesus face to face.” What a wonderful day it must have been!” Thanks be to God for the life of Dr. John Silas Oakley!<br />

ARTHUR ALEXANDER ROBINSON, JR.<br />

February 20, 1928 – February 18, 2009<br />

The Reverend Arthur Alexander Robinson, Jr. was born on Feb. 20, 1928, in Napoleonville, Louisiana. He was the fi fth of eight<br />

children and the only son born to the Reverend Arthur Alexander Robinson, Sr. and Odessa Sophronia Noel Robinson.<br />

Reverend Robinson was dedicated to preaching the gospel, his pastoral ministry, his family, and to active community<br />

service. His work as a civil rights activist, mediator, lecturer, speaker, writer, poet, and school teacher gave Reverend Robinson<br />

the honor of having his biography included in numerous volumes in the United States and England.<br />

Reverend Robinson served his country with three separate enlistments. In 1943, he graduated from the United States Navy<br />

S.T.M. School in San Francisco. He received an honorable discharge from the Navy in 1946. During this enlistment, Reverend<br />

Robinson was granted the Asiatic Pacifi c 4 Battle Stars for his service during the Philippine Liberation Campaign of World War II.<br />

Reverend Robinson later enlisted in the United States Army as a PVT-2. He served during the Korean Confl ict from 1949 to<br />

1952. Reverend Robinson vowed to go back in the United States Armed Forces as an offi cer. After an eight-year absence, he<br />

made his goal a reality when he graduated from the United States Army Chaplain School in Fort Slocum, New York, and reenlisted in 1960 as a Chaplain First<br />

Lieutenant under an Ecclesiastical Endorsement from the Methodist Church. He served in Virginia and Germany before being honorably discharged for the fi nal<br />

time.<br />

Reverend Robinson believed that education is one of life’s most valuable commodities. He received a Bachelor of Arts Degree from Dillard University (New<br />

Orleans, Louisiana), a United Methodist-Related University, in 1951. He went on to receive a Bachelor of Divinity from Gammon Theological Seminary (Atlanta,<br />

Georgia), a United Methodist Seminary, in 1954. Reverend Robinson was conferred an L.L.D. from the Evangelistic Ambassadors for Christ of the West Coast,<br />

Inc., completed graduate work at Atlanta University (Atlanta, Georgia) and Xavier University (New Orleans, Louisiana), attended the Southern University Law<br />

School (Baton Rouge, Louisiana), and logged countless hours of continuing education.<br />

Reverend Robinson answered God’s call by getting his license to preach in 1946 at the age of 18. He became a Methodist Deacon in 1952 and was ordained<br />

as an Elder in 1954. Although Reverend Robinson briefl y pastored in other denominations (the Baptist Church, the African Methodist Episcopal Church), he had<br />

a life long commitment to Methodism. He served The United Methodist Church across the country in the <strong>North</strong> Georgia Annual <strong>Conference</strong>, the Louisiana Annual<br />

<strong>Conference</strong>, the Arkansas Annual <strong>Conference</strong>, and the Holston Annual <strong>Conference</strong>. Reverend Robinson retired from the <strong>Western</strong> <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong> <strong>Conference</strong> in<br />

1995 after being a member since 1982. After retiring, Reverend Robinson and his family moved to Las Vegas, Nevada, which is a part of the Desert Southwest<br />

<strong>Conference</strong>, where he held two part-time retired elder appointments.<br />

After a brief bout with cancer, the Reverend Arthur Alexander Robinson, Jr. passed away two days before his 81st birthday on Feb. 18, 2009, in Las Vegas,<br />

Nevada. His passing culminated a 63-year commitment to God’s call to ministry.<br />

The Reverend Arthur Alexander Robinson, Jr. was preceded in death by his parents - the Reverend Arthur Alexander Robinson, Sr. and Odessa Sophronia<br />

Noel Robinson, six of his sisters - Hazel R. Rankin, the Reverend Authurine Brown, Valena C. Benjamin, Cecil Dunham, Naomi Bookman, and Debra Chancely<br />

Benjamin, and his son, Arthur Alexander Robinson, III.<br />

The Service of Death and Resurrection for the Reverend Arthur Alexander Robinson, Jr. was held at Zion United Methodist Church (Las Vegas, Nevada) on Feb.<br />

26, 2009 at <strong>10</strong>:30 a.m. The service was offi ciated by Dr. Percell Church, Jr., pastor of Zion United Methodist Church. Long time friend, Reverend Belvin Jessup<br />

(Retired Clergy, <strong>Western</strong> <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong> <strong>Conference</strong>), gave the Gospel Message. Also, one of Reverend Robinson’s most loved hymns, “If I Can Help Somebody,”<br />

was sung by family friend Mrs. Hattie Grandberry. Reverend Robinson was laid to rest at the Southern Nevada Veterans Memorial Cemetery (Boulder City,<br />

Nevada)<br />

CHARLES EDWARD ROY<br />

July 15, 1917 – November 1, 2008<br />

For more than 40 years, few students made it through Brevard College without encountering the Rev. C. Edward Roy’s gentle<br />

ear or directive spirit. In the classroom or athletic venue, on campus green or in his offi ce, Dr. Roy guided students through faith<br />

quests and emotional tests. Occasionally known as “Pope Roy,” he offered his ecclesiastical skills to the academy, shepherding<br />

faculty, staff, and students alike. Ed Roy used his life experience in teaching, even though an oft-used phrase, “excuse the personal<br />

reference” exposed his bias that academic objectivity required minimization of one’s witness. Interestingly, it was his personal<br />

witness that guided the writer of this memoir to ministry, too….and helped me to set my sights on pastoral care and social justice.<br />

Charles Edward Roy was born on July 15, 1917, to Eugene and Bessie Bennett Roy in Helena, Alabama, near Birmingham. His<br />

education beyond High School included: A.A. Young Harris College, 1938; B.A. Piedmont College, 1940; M.Div. Emory University,<br />

Candler School of Theology, 1944; and M.A. George Peabody College, 1949. He was awarded the D.D. degree from Greensboro<br />

College in 1980.<br />

Ed married Brona Nifong on Dec. 20, 1947. Their marriage of 46 years, ending at Brona’s death, Jan. 2, 1993, was blessed by one daughter, Margaret<br />

Rebecca Roy, “Becki,” born July 7, 1950. Her marriage to Roger Benfi eld yielded two grandsons, Jason and Shane.<br />

Ten years after retiring from Brevard College, Ed married Grace Jackson Munro on Aug. 13, 1994. A long-time friend, colleague, and Presbyterian, Grace<br />

further extended Ed’s family with her children, Thomas “Chip” Munro and Jenny Munro.<br />

Reared in the church, Ed Roy’s developing faith readied him to hear the call to ministry. Following his theological studies at Emory in 1944, Dr. Eugene<br />

Coltrane, President of Brevard College, invited him to an interview and eventual teaching position. For 40 years, Ed Roy would serve as pastor, prophet, priest,<br />

and professor at the <strong>Western</strong> <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong> <strong>Conference</strong> two-year liberal arts institution, formerly known as Brevard Institute before merger with Rutherford and<br />

Weaver Colleges.<br />

Throughout his academic career at Brevard, Roy fostered ties to United Methodist Churches in the southern <strong>Western</strong> <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong> mountains. Ordained<br />

Deacon in 1944 and Elder in 1947, he fulfi lled his vows of Word, Sacrament, and Order by serving churches and opening doors for Brevard students to discover<br />

their own callings through area congregations. Perhaps his greatest ministry legacy is the lingering connection between college and conference. Just ask the oldtimers<br />

at Rosman, Selica, Oak Grove (St. Timothy), First Church Brevard, Highlands, Etowah, Horse Shoe (Cummings Memorial) or Mills River. During 1958-59,<br />

Mr. Roy was part of a fi ve-member presidential council that operated the college, following the death of President Emmett McLarty.<br />

Dr. Roy’s ministry not only linked the college with the church, but also the college with the community. He was involved in Hospice, Lion’s Club, and the<br />

Transylvania Human Relations Council. He served as Chairman of the United Way and President of the Transylvania Youth Association. It was said at his<br />

memorial service, Nov. 5, 2008, at First United Methodist Church, “it is not an overstatement to say that Ed Roy extended his life and love to this community<br />

of Brevard and Transylvania County more than any other clergy person of any denomination at any time in history.” From protesting unfair labor practices at a<br />

tannery and saw mill, to helping start Transylvania Christian Ministries’ “Sharing House,” he lived out one of the scriptures read at his memorial, Micah 6:8,<br />

doing justice, loving kindness, and walking humbly with his God.<br />

In retirement, he continued to teach, largely out of world travels to Israel and Russia, and years of classroom repertoire in Bible, sociology, marriage and


322<br />

<strong>Western</strong> <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong> <strong>Conference</strong><br />

family, and religion. He continued to serve pastorally as minister of visitation at First United Methodist Church, Brevard. Just a week before his death, Ed was<br />

inducted into the Brevard College Academic Hall of Fame with the Distinguished Faculty Award – Oct. 24, 2008. His smile from a nursing home bed indicated<br />

grateful acceptance of this well-deserved honor.<br />

Quite appropriately, Charles Edward Roy died on All Saints Day, Nov. 1, 2008. He was buried in the Mills River UMC cemetery on<br />

Nov. 5, close to the foundation of the church. As professor and chaplain, Ed Roy lived the values of Christian higher education, stimulating faith and laying<br />

foundations for Christian leaders in the church and world. Long before our Annual <strong>Conference</strong>’s stated purpose, Ed Roy was following Jesus, making disciples,<br />

and transforming the world. From young adulthood to death, he spent his life inviting and teaching others to walk the way of discipleship. Even now, the world is<br />

being transformed by the ones he shaped. So, please “excuse the personal reference,” for I, his grateful and former student, am one of them!<br />

ERNEST ULIN STEPHENS<br />

July 30, 1909 – June 12, 2008<br />

Ernest Stephens’ ministry was unique in the annals of Methodism. His life began as many others of his generation – born to<br />

a farm family in Stokes County on July 30, 1909, to William and Trudy Lawson Stephens. His last years also were typical of many<br />

Methodists – residency in Aldersgate Retirement Community in Charlotte. His marriage was to a neighbor girl, Irene Martin. To their<br />

marriage were born three children: Delores Stephens Gray, Norman, and Richard, all of whom are active United Methodists.<br />

Son of Primitive Baptists, Ernest and his two brothers, Ray and Ivan, were converted under the ministry of T. G. Williams on the<br />

Sandy Ridge Circuit. All three brothers became Methodist preachers. At 34 years of age and in the middle of World War II, Ernest<br />

was appointed to the eight-point Todd Circuit in Ashe and Watauga Counties. From their new, comfortable home in High Point, the<br />

young family moved to a spartan parsonage with no convenience or amenities and a<br />

$900 annual salary.<br />

In the nomenclature of his time, Ernest was a “local preacher.” He later became the only person in his annual conference’s<br />

long and splendid history to dedicate four new churches or major additions on the same Sunday! His indefatigable energy, his inspiring vision, his hard work, his<br />

intensive pastoral care, in remote mountain communities brought his ministry to the attention of his District Superintendent, Dr. Kenneth Goodson.<br />

After eight history-making years on the Todd Circuit, Ernest was appointed to the Grassy Creek-Mountain Park Circuit in Surry County, still under the guidance<br />

of Ken Goodson, who found an obscure route to ordination for this incredible man. Concurrently with his daughter’s High Point College enrollment, Ernest earned<br />

30 credit hours in the academic year, 1954-55. He then completed the conference Course of Study and was presented to the conference by Dr. W. Kenneth<br />

Goodson in a moving review of Ernest’s ministry. By more than the two-thirds majority, Ernest was voted into Full Connection and Elder’s Orders.<br />

In the 1950’s, the <strong>Western</strong> <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong> Town and Country Commission and Duke Endowment partnered in the formation of several Larger Parishes, with<br />

an elder appointed to an anchor church, supervising the work of Local Pastors in surrounding circuits, all benefi ting from a Parish offi ce and a secretary. In 1957,<br />

Ernest was appointed as Director of the Greater Mt. Airy Parish and pastor of the Oak Grove Church where he pioneered in the development of cooperative rural<br />

ministries.<br />

Ernest’s next appointments were the South Fork Circuit in Catawba County, the Harrison-Marvin Circuit in Union County, and Weddington where he spent the<br />

next eight years of his ministry. In his last two years before retirement, he served as Associate Pastor with Dr. Russell Montfort at Dilworth United Methodist<br />

Church. He and Irene lived in the Dilworth community of Charlotte several years before moving to Aldersgate.<br />

Ernest had a keen business mind and was a life-long entrepreneur. He bought a home and land in High Point prior to World War II which he kept, as it grew<br />

into an excellent investment. He bought land in Union County before the growth there, sold it, and tithed the sale to his and two of his children’s alma mater,<br />

High Point University, where he established a scholarship fund, to Dilworth United Methodist Church, and to his home church, Snow Hill UMC, in Stokes County.<br />

At his funeral this writer lifted the following words from John Wesley’s tract, “The Character of a Methodist”:<br />

“A Methodist is one who has the ‘love of God shed abroad in his heart by the Holy Spirit given unto him.’ God is the joy of his heart and<br />

the desire of his soul. He has learned with St. Paul, ‘whatever state he is in, there to be content.’ His happiness comes not from outward<br />

circumstances but from inward faith, overfl owing in his soul. He is pure in heart, cleansed from revengeful passions, envy, malice, unkind<br />

temper, pride, and haughtiness of spirit. He is not contentious but a maker of peace. He hath put on the gifts of mercy; kindness, humbleness of<br />

mind, meekness, and patient longsuffering. He forbears and forgives. Furthermore, he does not waste his time with idle words, does not speak<br />

despairingly of his neighbor. Lastly, he does good to all men – neighbors, strangers, friends, and enemies – and not only to the needs of their<br />

bodies for food, shelter and clothing, but to the needs of their soul, showing to some the love of God and challenging others to abound more in<br />

love and good works. That is the character of a Methodist.”<br />

Few preachers among Mr. Wesley’s spiritual progeny lived out that description so completely as did Ernest Stephens. In the communities along the New River,<br />

in northwestern <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong>, his name and his ministry are legendary.<br />

JACK GEORGE MICHAEL STRATAS<br />

March 2, 1942 – March 24, 2009<br />

Reverend Jack George Michael Stratas was a fi rst-generation American, born to Greek immigrant parents in Starkville,<br />

Mississippi, on March 2nd, 1942. His father and mother, Michael Nickolas Stratas and Irene Miaoulis Stratas, came to America<br />

from the Isle of Patmos.<br />

Jack endeared himself to people easily. People loved him for his sense of humor, his hearty laugh, and his colorful personality.<br />

He was a lover of trains and an ardent student of history.<br />

Rev. Jack Stratas was a second career pastor. His fi rst career was in the newspaper business. He majored in journalism at the<br />

University of Southern Mississippi and began working as a cub reporter in Bristol, Virginia. It was while working as a copy editor<br />

in Mobile, Alabama, that he met another copy editor by the name of Jeanette Rogers. Jack and Jeanette were married on April 3,<br />

1971.<br />

His newspaper career would take them to a variety of locations, and Jack would serve in a number of positions before eventually<br />

arriving in Asheboro, <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong>, as the Executive Editor of the Courier Tribune. Among the notable events Jack covered as a reporter was the story of Dr.<br />

Martin Luther King Junior’s assassination on April 4, 1968, while he was working in Memphis.<br />

In 1988, Jack felt a call to preach and left behind his newspaper career to become a United Methodist pastor. He returned to school and received a Bachelor<br />

of Arts degree in religion at High Point University, in 1993. While attending High Point and serving his fi rst charge, he completed the fi ve-year Basic Course<br />

of Study for Ordained Ministry at Duke Divinity School (1989–1993). He later received a Master of Divinity degree from Candler School of Theology at Emory<br />

University in Atlanta in 1998.<br />

Rev. Stratas served fi ve appointments during 17 years of active ministry. He served the Denton Circuit in the Lexington District<br />

(1988–1994); Bethlehem UMC in the Rome-Carrollton District of the <strong>North</strong> Georgia <strong>Conference</strong> (1994-1996); the Cedar Grove-Sunshine Charge in the Marion<br />

District (1996-1998); First UMC, Thomasville in the Lexington District (1998-2004); and Baltimore UMC in the <strong>North</strong>east District from 2004-2005 before being<br />

placed on Incapacity Leave.<br />

Rev. Stratas was licensed to preach, and was appointed to serve as a full-time local pastor in 1988. He was ordained as a Deacon, becoming an Associate<br />

Member of the Annual <strong>Conference</strong> in 1996, and was ordained as an Elder in Full Connection to the <strong>Western</strong> <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong> <strong>Conference</strong> in 1999.


2009 journal 323<br />

Jack’s strength in ministry was his faithful visiting. He spent countless hours visiting in homes, rest homes, hospitals, and funeral homes. He was well-known<br />

in the communities where he served for his compassionate pastoral care.<br />

Jack bravely battled cancer for the last four years of his life. With the help of Hospice, his wife, Jeanette, and numerous caring friends and neighbors, Jack<br />

was able to die peacefully at home. His deep faith in God enabled him to face his illness and death with strength, dignity, and peace.<br />

In the hours before his death, Jack was surrounded by his wife Jeanette and many friends. A Service of Baptismal Reaffi rmation was conducted and he<br />

received the Sacrament of Holy Communion. From the United Methodist Book of Worship, prayers from “Ministry with the Dying” were offered and Scripture was<br />

read. And around Jack’s bed there were tears, prayers and singing.<br />

Rev. Jack Stratas died peacefully in his sleep early in the morning of March 24, 2009. A Service of Death and Resurrection was conducted at the J. C. Greene<br />

and Sons Funeral Home Chapel in Thomasville, <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong>, on March 27, with the Reverends Steve McLain, Bill Foust and Randy Lucas presiding.<br />

Three days later, at the Welch Funeral Home in Starkville, Mississippi, a Greek service of prayer and blessing for the dead, known as a Triasagion, was<br />

conducted by Father James Cleontis of The Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church in Mobile, Alabama. The Rev. Jack Stratas was laid to rest in the Odd Fellows<br />

Cemetery in Starkville, on March 30, 2009.<br />

Blessed are the dead, who die in the Lord.<br />

ELTON LEON STRICKLAND<br />

February 19, 1934 – January 9, 2009<br />

Elton Leon Strickland was born Feb. 19, 1934, around the Cokesbury Community in Harnett County, <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong>. He was<br />

the youngest son of Clarence and Nora Strickland and was the fi fth of six children. His father Clarence was a hard working man,<br />

supporting his family by farming and working as a barber. His mother Nora was a housewife devoted to her husband and children.<br />

He had three older brothers (Harvey, Cecil and Waddell) one older sister (Tula), and one younger sister (Shirley).<br />

Elton dropped out of high school in the 11th grade and went to work in order to buy a car and earn a living, however<br />

he did later go back to earn his GED. He worked many jobs, including being a shoe salesman at Ivey’s department store and<br />

salesman at <strong>Carolina</strong> Tractor Company. His friend, Tom Yeargan, introduced him to his sister, Kate Agnes,<br />

who later became his wife to whom he was married from 1956 to 1959. He and Kate had a daughter named Karen Diane, born<br />

April 5, 1957.<br />

Before he entered the ministry Elton worked with the Raleigh police force and also worked as a security guard part-time at<br />

Dorothea Dix Hospital. It was at this hospital he met Sue Patricia Bowen, working there during her psychiatric rotation for her degree in nursing. They were<br />

married Sept. 17, 1961, at South Point Methodist Church in Belmont, <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong>, by Pastor William Kerr, who later became his friend and mentor. They later<br />

had two sons; Mark Kerr born Sept. 11, 1964, and Michael James born on Oct. 5, 1966. They divorced in 1990 after 29 years of marriage.<br />

It was around 1961, that he heard and answered his call into the ministry, and with the guidance of his mentor, decided to go to college to study the Bible and<br />

religion. He attended Gardner-Webb College and received his Associate of Arts degree, on June 11, 1966. Elton then continued at Gardner-Webb to receive his<br />

Bachelor of Arts degree on May 17, 1971, completing the conference Course of Study at Duke University the same year. Elton was licensed to preach in 1962,<br />

and in 1969 was accepted into the conference as an Associate Member. In 1972, he became a member in full connection with the <strong>Conference</strong> and became<br />

elder.<br />

During his years in the pastorate, he served the following appointments: 1964-67, Clover Hill UMC, Gastonia District; 1967-71, Henrietta and Providence<br />

UMC’s, Marion District; 1971-73, Mitchell-Yancey Parish (Bakersville, Red Hill, Tipton Hill, Deaton Bend and Bethlehem UMC’s), Marion District; 1973-77,<br />

Bethesda and Smyre UMC’s, Gastonia District; 1977-81, Trinity UMC, Gastonia District; 1981-83, Trinity and Lowell UMC’s, Gastonia District; 1983-87 Asbury<br />

UMC, Gastonia District; 1987-89 Lake Norman (Salem and Fairfi eld UMC’s), Charlotte District; 1989-90, Salem UMC, Charlotte District; 1990-92, Oak Summit<br />

UMC, Winston-Salem District; 1992-99, Prospect and Pleasant Hill UMC’s, Lexington District. In 1999, he retired to Cary, <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong>. In 2005 he moved<br />

to Washington, <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong>, to be near his daughter Karen, her husband George, and their two children, Wayne and Tonya. He happily resided in Beaufort<br />

County until his death on Jan. 9, 2009.<br />

Elton was known to his friends and his congregations as a kind man with a great sense of humor. He was known for his fellowship with his congregations as<br />

well as his attention to those who were sick. He volunteered as hospital chaplain at Gaston Memorial Hospital many times while living in the Gastonia District.<br />

He and his wife, Sue, hosted exchange students in their home on many occasions while they were in the United States to study English. Elton enjoyed the<br />

children in his churches and often said that the children’s sermon was his favorite part of worship.<br />

Near the end of his life, he spoke of two highlights in his ministry. The fi rst was when he had the opportunity to visit the Holy Land for two weeks, offering<br />

him the chance to walk the path that Jesus walked along the Via Dolorosa. He also had the opportunity to deliver a sermon at the Shepherd’s Fold to the<br />

other members in the group he was touring with in the Holy Land. A second highlight of which he spoke was the opportunity to perform the marriage of his<br />

granddaughter Tonya to her husband Alan Alligood. Offi ciating at the marriage of one of his grandchildren was an event he had hoped to experience.<br />

Elton truly loved his work in the church and was a true believer in God’s grace. I think that Amazing Grace was one of his favorite songs because of the<br />

strength in the words of its message:<br />

“Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound<br />

That saved a wretch like me....<br />

I once was lost but now am found,<br />

Was blind, but now, I see.”<br />

Elton went to continue his ministry in heaven, Jan. 9, 2009. His body was laid to rest Jan. 12, 2009, at Pamlico Memorial Gardens in Washington, <strong>North</strong><br />

<strong>Carolina</strong>. Elton is survived by his children Mark, Michael, Karen, and her husband George, their son Wayne, daughter Tonya, and her husband Alan. Elton’s only<br />

living siblings are his brother, Cecil, of Raleigh, <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong>, and his sister Shirley of Apex, <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong>. Elton’s memory will live on in our hearts, as well as<br />

the laughter of our voices and in the lessons and wisdom that he passed on to everyone.<br />

DORIS EVELYN CLINARD WEDDINGTON<br />

April 14, 1926 – March 23, 2009<br />

….but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow<br />

weary, they will walk and not be faint. (Isaiah 40:31) Doris Weddington spread her wings and began her homeward fl ight on<br />

Thursday, March 12, 2009 when, as the result of a fall, she suffered a fractured skull. For 11 days her family and members of Park<br />

Ave. UMW (formerly Jones Memorial) prayerfully kept vigil as she began soaring away. Each day her wings grew more weary, and<br />

so it was on Monday, March 23, 2009, the voices of family and friends were lifted in song and praise as she folded her wings and<br />

landed at the Church Triumphant!<br />

Doris Evelyn Clinard Weddington was born to Fred Hamner and Margaret Jester Clinard on April 14, 1926, in High Point,<br />

Guilford County, <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong>. She was raised in a practicing Christian family of strong faith. One of fi ve children, Doris enjoyed<br />

the camaraderie of two sisters and two brothers, Margaret, Opal, Horace, and Ralph. They held membership and were regular<br />

attendees of Hickory Grove Wesleyan Methodist Church in High Point. It was there at the very young age of eight that Doris


324<br />

<strong>Western</strong> <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong> <strong>Conference</strong><br />

accepted Christ and committed her life to Him.<br />

The family relocated to the Mooresville, <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong>, area in 1935 where they became members of Prospect Presbyterian Church in Rowan County. As a<br />

teenager, while participating in a church social hayride, Doris met Walter David Weddington. Walter was also a member of Prospect Presbyterian Church, but the<br />

two had never socialized together. Afterward, they became a twosome and dated for three to four years prior to their marriage at Prospect Presbyterian Church<br />

on Sept. 30, 1945. Doris and Walter were blessed with two children, son Walter David, Jr. on Aug. 6, 1949, and daughter Margaret Elizabeth on May 24, 1957.<br />

Doris graduated from Central High School in Mooresville, <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong>, in 1942, as salutatorian. She had a voracious appetite for education, but it was not<br />

until the children were no longer very young that she resumed her education in 1961, studying Psychology at Queens College in Charlotte, <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong>. Doris<br />

entered UNC Charlotte in 1962 and graduated in 1966 as a member of the University’s fi rst graduating class, earning a B.A. in English with minors in French and<br />

education, graduating with a 4.0 grade point average. Subsequently, Doris was awarded a Fulbright Scholarship and during 1966-1967 did graduate work in<br />

English Drama at the University of London, England.<br />

During the year 1967–1968, Doris taught English at Independence High School in Charlotte. Subsequently, from 1968–1972, she was Instructor in<br />

Communication Skills and Director of Communications Laboratory at CPCC, Charlotte.<br />

Returning her focus to education, during the years 1972-1975, Doris attended the University of Texas’ doctoral program, earning her Ph.D. in Educational<br />

Administration with a focus on Community Colleges. While she was studying at UT, during 1973, Doris served as an <strong>Administrative</strong> Intern at Greenville Technical<br />

College, Greenville, South <strong>Carolina</strong>.<br />

After earning her PhD, Doris was employed from 1976-1978 as Assistant Dean for Staff and Instructional Development at CVTC in Hickory, <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong>;<br />

the following year she was Dean of Personnel and Administration at Rowan Technical College in Salisbury, <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong>. During her fi ve years tenure as<br />

Remediation Specialist at <strong>North</strong> Rowan High School, Spencer, <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong>, Doris took graduate courses in Curriculum and School Law at UNC-Greensboro.<br />

She was promoted to Assistant Principal for Curriculum in 1985. Doris served one year in this position, retired from Public Education in 1986.<br />

Always having had a very strong Christian faith, Doris felt God’s call to ministry in 1985. She began taking courses in Biblical Hebrew and Greek at<br />

Southeastern Theological Seminary in Wake Forest, <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong>, becoming a candidate for ordained ministry in the Presbyterian Church. In 1985, she served<br />

as interim supply preacher at Sweetwater Presbyterian Church in Hickory, <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong>, and the next year, was Student Pastor at Cleveland Presbyterian<br />

Church in Cleveland, <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong>, while taking additional courses in Theology and Bible at Columbia Theological Seminary, Decatur, Georgia.<br />

Having encountered impediments to ministry in the Presbyterian Church, Doris resigned her candidacy and, on the advice of Rev. Steve Martin, Triplett UMC,<br />

Iredell County, <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong>, sought Ave.s for ministry within The United Methodist Church. In 1987, Doris and Walter transferred their church membership<br />

to Triplett UMC where she became Program Director and candidate for ordained ministry in the <strong>Western</strong> <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong> <strong>Conference</strong> of The United Methodist<br />

Church. In June 1988, she was assigned as Interim Pastor at Jones Memorial UMC, Mooresville, <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong>, and, after completing the one-year membership<br />

requirement in August, received her license to preach and was appointed as a full-time local pastor at JMUMC.<br />

During her ministry at JMUMC, Doris pursued theological studies at Duke University Divinity School, completing the Course of Study in 1991, and the<br />

Advanced Studies in 1992. Doris was ordained Deacon by the <strong>Western</strong> <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong> <strong>Conference</strong> of The United Methodist Church in 1992 and admitted to full<br />

connection and ordained Elder in 1996. She retired from active pastoral ministry at Jones Memorial UMC during an inspiring service in June 1996. During her<br />

eight-year ministry at Jones Memorial, Doris took vows from 90 new members and received 62 certifi cates of transfer.<br />

After retiring from the ministry, Doris served as Chaplain for Hospice and Palliative Care of Iredell County for fi ve years, four as Volunteer and one on Staff.<br />

As was true of her church family during her pastoral ministry, Doris was well loved by her Hospice family. Both testify that Doris made herself available as pastor<br />

to church members, Hospice patients and their family members, regardless of personal circumstances. She displayed a depth of understanding of the divine<br />

aspect of humanity and had a tremendous knowledge of the world.<br />

When her health began to fail, Doris relocated to the Churchill Assisted Living Residence in Mooresville, <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong>. Even then, she was dissatisfi ed not<br />

to be serving, so she developed a pastoral ministry, found space, and created a chapel, hand-made altar paraments and Chrismons for the Christmas Tree, and<br />

conducted worship on Sundays for the residents there.<br />

Doris is survived by her husband, Walter David Weddington; children, Rev. Walter David Weddington, Jr. and wife Wilma, of Newark, Delaware, and Margaret<br />

Elizabeth Weddington Grimm and husband Dave, of Reston, Virginia; brother Ralph Clinard of Hickory, sister Margaret Clinard Carrigan of Mooresville;<br />

grandchildren Margaret Mellnik and Sarah Mellnik Spencer; fi ve nieces and three nephews. Her parents, her brother, Horace Clinard, and her sister, Opal Clinard<br />

Elliott, preceded her in death.<br />

Funeral services were conducted for Doris on March 23, 2009, at Park Ave. UMC in Mooresville with Rev. H. R. “Buddy” Compton offi ciating, assisted by<br />

layperson, Debbie Connelly, who delivered a special eulogy. Doris Clinard Weddington was interred at Prospect Presbyterian Church Cemetery where she rests<br />

with other family members.<br />

Doris’ husband, Walter, said, “Ministry was the highlight of Doris’ life.” Those who were fortunate enough to be touched by her ministry echo his sentiments;<br />

acknowledge that she had a resilient zest for life, a voracious appetite for learning, and a warmth of caring, friendship, and love. Doris Clinard Weddington was a<br />

committed servant of God and a truly remarkable woman!<br />

JAMES WILLARD WHITE<br />

August 26, 1946 – January 21, 2009<br />

James Willard White was born Aug. 26, 1946, in Glen Alpine, <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong>. He was the son of Robert Romulus White and<br />

Annie Belle Powell White. He was raised on a farm in Burke County along with fi ve brothers and six sisters. As a child and young<br />

adult, James attended Glen Alpine Evangelical Methodist Church. Being very faithful Christians, James’ parents instilled in him a<br />

strong love for God and neighbor.<br />

After graduating from Glen Alpine High School in 1964, James attended John Wesley College, receiving his Bachelor of Theology<br />

degree in 1969. He then attended Asbury College in Kentucky receiving his Bachelor of Arts degree with a major in history and<br />

minor in English in 1971. After graduating from Asbury, James briefl y joined the staff of John Wesley College as a teacher. On July<br />

1, 1972, James married Linda Lou Guthrie of Danville, Virginia, who he had met earlier at John Wesley College when they were<br />

both students.<br />

Soon after, James became a local pastor of the Level Cross/New Hope charge in the <strong>Western</strong> <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong> <strong>Conference</strong> of The<br />

United Methodist Church from 1974 until 1976. From 1976 until 1977, James was the pastor of the Level Cross/Siloam UMC charge. During this<br />

appointment, James attended Wake Forest University and was awarded a Master of Anthropology degree in 1977. Feeling a strong calling<br />

upon their lives, James and Linda then served as missionaries with OMS International in Ecuador, South America, from 1978 until 1982. James served as the<br />

principal of the International School in Guayaquil, Ecuador during this time and Linda served as a teacher in that same school.<br />

After returning from Ecuador in 1982, James became a student pastor at Union Chapel UMC of the <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong> <strong>Conference</strong> in Kittrell, <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong>, while<br />

attending Duke University Divinity School in Durham, <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong>. He was ordained a Deacon in 1984, graduated from Duke Divinity school with a Master<br />

of Divinity degree in 1986, and ordained an elder in the <strong>Western</strong> <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong> <strong>Conference</strong> in 1988. James was appointed pastor of the Greer’s Chapel/Mt.<br />

Carmel UMC charge in Lexington, <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong> in 1986, and served that charge until 1991. He then was appointed to Bethesda UMC of Lexington in 1991,<br />

and served as senior pastor until 2005.<br />

While serving Bethesda, James began work on his Doctorate of Ministry Degree from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary and received that degree in 1997.<br />

While at Bethesda, James also joined the staff of Davidson County Community College on a part-time basis teaching anthropology and religion classes. In 2005,<br />

James was appointed to Skyland UMC of Asheville, <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong>. He served there until his health started to decline in 2007.

James was a very loving and supportive husband, father, and grandfather. He enjoyed fi shing, golfi ng, riding ATVs and anything shared with his family. He<br />

loved his home in Glen Alpine next to the Catawba River. He will be remembered most for his gift of teaching. Many people came to understand God’s grace and<br />

unconditional love because of James’ effective teaching from the pulpit, classroom, dinner table, and front porch rocking chair. The family of James White will be<br />

forever grateful for the opportunity to have shared life with James. To God be the glory and praise for the life of His faithful servant, James Willard White.<br />

LARRY DALE WILKINSON<br />

September 27, 1936 – February 4, 2008<br />

Larry Dale Wilkinson was born on Sept. 27, 1936, in Charlotte, <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong>, the son of Paul and Edna Wilkinson. He had one<br />

brother, Ivan Eugene Wilkinson, who predeceased him. He married Ann Gillis on July 20, 1957, and they celebrated their 50th<br />

anniversary a few months before his death. She continues to live in their home at Lake Junaluska, <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong>. Their children<br />

and grandchildren are son Eric Wilkinson, daughter-in-law Missy, and grandchildren Kyle and Sydney Wilkinson of Lincolnton,<br />

<strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong>; daughter Cindy Huskey, son-in-law Greg, and grandchildren Brent and Laura Ann Huskey of Hendersonville, <strong>North</strong><br />

<strong>Carolina</strong>; daughter Dale Ann Plyler, son-in-law Davey, and grandchildren Anna and Gracie Plyler of Monroe, <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong>.<br />

Larry graduated from West Mecklenburg High School in 1954. He earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from High Point College,<br />

a Master of Divinity degree from Duke University, a Master of Education degree from Wake Forest University, and a Doctor of<br />

Education degree from the University of <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong> in Greensboro.<br />

He served his entire ministry in the <strong>Western</strong> <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong> <strong>Conference</strong>, having been licensed to preach in 1954, ordained a<br />

deacon in 1959, and ordained an elder in 1961. His appointments were: West Charlotte/Faith (1955-57), Wade Charge in Wadesboro (1957-58), Oakdale in<br />

Jamestown (1958-61), Woodmont in Reidsville (1961-66), First in Valdese (1966-69), Maple Springs in Winston-Salem (1969-72), Christ in High Point (1972-<br />

76), First in Waynesville (1976-79), Superintendent of the <strong>North</strong> Wilkesboro District (1979-80), Superintendent of the Marion District (1980-84), Providence in<br />

Charlotte (1984-1990), Superintendent of the Gastonia District (1990-91), First in Gastonia (1991-95), and Superintendent of the Waynesville District (1995-<br />

2001). Retiring in 2001, he continued his ministry by working with Church Funding Associates as a Capital Campaign Director in numerous local churches.<br />

Our older son, who was in high school when Larry was our district superintendent, said upon hearing of Larry’s death: “His heart gave out, but the truth is that<br />

he was a man of a mighty heart!” And so he was! He had a mighty heart for his family. I do not know of another United Methodist preacher for whom family took<br />

a higher priority than they did for Larry. One of his long-time friends put it this way: “So many clergy, including John Wesley himself, devoted themselves so much<br />

to their public ministry that their immediate family felt neglected. Not so for Larry….” Those who knew him knew this about him.<br />

He had a mighty heart for the Church. No one loved the <strong>Western</strong> <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong> <strong>Conference</strong> more than did Larry Wilkinson. He lived with enthusiasm<br />

and joy in the center of its administrative and ministerial machinery. He knew how it was put together and how it worked. He served this conference in an<br />

almost unparalleled variety of ways: Chair of the Board of Ordained Ministry, Chair of the Health Insurance Committee of the Board of Pension and Health<br />

Benefi ts, founding pastor of two congregations that continue vital and strong today, pastor of both small membership congregations and some of the largest<br />

congregations in the conference, delegate to Jurisdictional and General <strong>Conference</strong>s from 1984 until his retirement, superintendent of four districts - and that<br />

does not complete the list. Again, as a friend wrote: “We wanted him to represent us in the high places of infl uence where denominational decisions are made….<br />

In that role, he served the <strong>Western</strong> <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong> <strong>Conference</strong> over a longer period of time and with higher honor and distinction than all but a small handful of<br />

his predecessors or peers.”<br />

In his varied roles in the conference, Larry nurtured persons in ministry in ways and numbers that exceed what any one person will ever know. The day<br />

following his death, I was in a gathering of conference clergy, and repeatedly throughout the afternoon, various ones of them came to me with the same kind of<br />

comments: “I would not be in the ministry were it not for Larry.” “He gave me my fi rst appointment.” “He helped me when I came through the Board of Ordained<br />

Ministry.” “He helped me with a fi nancial situation.” “He encouraged me when I was in a particular diffi culty.” “He helped me get into school.” There are clergy all<br />

over this annual conference who can name a particular time and place and circumstance when Larry was a pastor, mentor, friend, and means of encouragement<br />

and support to them.<br />

Larry had a mighty heart for the Gospel of Jesus Christ. He lived out of it and preached it for 46 years of active ministry, touching lives through worship and<br />

preaching, mission and outreach, counseling in times of trouble and grief, and guidance and direction in the formation of persons’ life and faith. His faith in<br />

Christ shaped and guided his own life, and that faith undergirded and directed him in his infl uence in the lives of others.<br />

Some persons know that when I was elected to the episcopacy in 1996, Larry was one of the elders who ushered me to the platform at Stuart Auditorium<br />

and presented me for my consecration to the episcopal offi ce. What an honor and privilege it was for me to be gathered with him and his family and other close<br />

friends as we ushered him to the threshold of his heavenly home on Feb. 4, 2008. He passed peacefully from this life to the next in the Haywood Regional<br />

Medical Center in Waynesville, <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong>. A Celebration of Faith and Life was held for him on Feb. 7, 2008, at First United Methodist Church in Waynesville,<br />

conducted by the Reverend Doctors W. Lyn Sorrells, Ernest R. Porter, J. Michael Leatherwood, J. Alexander Ward, and by Bishops Charlene P. Kammerer and<br />

J. Lawrence McCleskey. A grave side service was conducted on Feb. 8 at Forest Lawn West Cemetery in Charlotte, <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong>, by the Reverends William H.<br />

Osborne, Jr., James T. Trollinger, and Bishop J. Lawrence McCleskey.<br />

St. Augustine’s well-known words are fi tting: “Thou hast made us for thyself, O God, and our hearts are restless until they rest in thee.” So does Larry’s mighty<br />

heart now rest eternally in God. Thanks be to God for the life and ministry of Larry Wilkinson!<br />
