  Tawni Sipple 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.

  Ginger Buchanan 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!

  Kim Barnhart 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.

  Gene and Janet Money 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.

  Dawn Case 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.

  Paula R. Stump Moffitt 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.

  Brenda Smith 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.

  Marvin F. Owen It's March 30 and I had strong thoughts of R.A. today, so I looked him up and found this most saddening news. Before I left for the Air Force in 1969, I became good friends with RA. I worked for him in a little gas station on HWY 8. More like a buddy than a boss. I took care of his race car, cleaning it after those muddy nights in Concord. Got my first buzz hanging with him one Saturday night. Got my first speeding ticket coming back from Ocean Drive spring break. Great times and he was the greatest guy. It's been well over 50 years, but those memories are just as fresh as yesterday. Rest in peace, boss. Marvin Owen
