Johnny and I worked wih Wilburn years ago at Burlington Industries in Bristol, Tennessee. Johnny hunted with him all over the hills out here in the Benhams area and we have been neighbors these 8 Yeats. What a fine Christian man he was. We will miss seeing him on the side porch of his house and seeing tomatoes ripen on that round table. He was one of a kind and he will never be replaced. Barbara and Johnny Barker
