RA was such a kind, gentle soul. He was a wonderful step father to me for the last 19 years sharing his love for God, fishing and building things. He was with me when I lost my husband Ken last year and was such a blessing to all that knew him. Most of all, he loved my mother with an agape love and for that I am eternally grateful. I know that I’ll see him again when I reach heaven.
RA was certainly a joy to know. I could sit for hours and listen to the precious stories he would tell us about how the two of you met ad fell in love. And you playing beautiful music and singing. He will be missed. I pray the comfort that only God can give will fill your heart with peace and comfort in the days ahead. We love you Rose 🙏💞🙏

RA will be missed because of all the love everyone had for him. Loved to sit and listen to the stories he and Rose told. We all miss you at Greenstreet. Rose may God give you peace and comfort.
When you met RA you knew him; you automatically liked him. He was a wonderful brother-in-law to Joe and I plus all of our family. He and Rose were a pair, if you saw one you saw the other. They loved each other dearly. Most of all he was a Godly man.
Leon, Tom, & Cindy are praying for & thinking of you.
We love you, Pops. You brought so much joy into our lives, and we’ll miss you forever.

R.A. was a wonderful volunteer at Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist. His gentle spirit and big heart will be remembered. Our patients and staff loved seeing him and love hearing Rose play the piano in the Cancer Center. Our hearts go out to Rose and the family. You are in our thoughts and prayers!
RA was married to my aunt Sandy (Andy’s mom), some years ago. I still called him my uncle RA, & loved him so much. He was good to me and my brother & sister growing up. I remember he slipped me a hundred dollar bill when I graduated! I will miss this precious man!
I will miss RA and his sweet smile and hug at church. He was kind, gentle and shared Jesus everywhere he went. He was always so proud of sweet Rose and the ministry they served together at the Cancer Center at Wake Forest Baptist. Forever he should be remembered for his patience and gentleness. The world is truly less not having him here with us 💞. Love you Rose!
Words can not express the heartache upon RA’s passing. With his outpouring of love he was not only a friend and neighbor but quickly became a family member of 20 years. He will be forever missed, the world was a better place with him in it. I know he will watch over us from heaven. Our love goes out to his love, Rose.
RA loved the Lord and worked hard when we were building Central Baptist Church. Donna, our first child, stayed with Andy for years when they were growing up. They were best friends growing up. I worked with RA at Burlington Furniture. He was a wonderful man. He was so kind to everyone he met. He will be truly missed by all. I know Heaven gained another angel. Rose and the family will be in our prayers.
I’m so sorry for the loss of RA on this earth, but I know he is with his Heavenly Father now. RA was such a kind and beautiful soul and made this world a better place to be. His smile and friendliness radiated to those around him. My parents loved him and talked about him often; I know he was a good friend and brother-in-law to them; they have shared so many memories with me these past few days; they are already terribly missing their friend. My kids, husband, and I loved him and enjoyed seeing him and Rose when we come to town; I know he was fond of my bunch as well. He had such a kind heart. He and Rose were a pair—always together and often trying to bring a little joy to the lives of those in need of some. He will be missed greatly. May precious memories comfort Rose and his family in the days to come. I know RA is watching from above with that wonderful smile of his! Prayers and courage to all that are mourning his loss. We love you Aunt Rose and our prayers and thoughts are with you and the rest RA’s family.
To RA, family meant everything, and he gave his family is entire heart….such a humble, kind-hearted, generous and loving soul, he always made everyone feel welcome. He had a calmness that made everything feel a little lighter, a little more grounded, and he was constantly helping, listening, and encouraging others in ways that really mattered. One of RA’s most remarkable qualities was his humility, having no desire for praise or recognition. What gave him joy was seeing others thrive—basically just helping out wherever and whenever he could, fixing what was broken, and offering a steady presence in times of stress. If you needed him, he was there—no fuss, no drama, just quietly showing up time and time again… he simply gave from the heart. To know him was to love him…he will surely be missed.
I am so sorry to hear of the passing of R.A. I have known him since I was 19 years old. He and my husband were best friends. He was the type of person that when you first meet, you know you have a friend forever. Rose, my prayers are with you and the family.
Heaven received a wonderful angel. R A was such a great man. Always the same, and such a great Papaw to Gabe and Nat.
