Dear Lucian Gassaway Family,
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry for your loss. I admired Lucian Gassaway in the way he would always try to find a way to help another person out. When I came to business in Poteau he told me "I want to help you be successful". When he was in better health and getting around pretty well he would come by and check on me regularly. I was amazed. He made me feel so good and I felt I had a friend in him. I just want you to know that he has left a lasting impression with me for the rest of my life. Their have been two people in my life that I would really like to be like and he is one of them. I wish you peace and comfort in this extremely hard time.
