There are no words to describe the dear love I had for Tank, whom I first met as Chubby in 1955 when he came to West End Elementary School! He was a gentle Teddy Bear and we shared many good times. He took such good care of his parents, loved Betty with all her heart, Michelle was his loving little girl and was so proud of his grandchildren! He has earned his wings! Go fly high my dear friend!! You fought a good fight and now it is time to rest. I shall never forget you. Blessings, peace, love and understanding to Betty, Michelle And all the family. Betsy

I have known Tank since we were in Mrs. Hardy's first grade class together. He was a sweet boy then and grew up to be a good man. He chose wisely when he married Betty, and he loved his family. He has earned a special place in Heaven..,.Peace and rest to you my friend

I'm so sorry to hear of Tank's passing. He was always such a nice guy and a pleasure to be around. Even though I've been away from the area almost 23 years, his name still brings a smile to my face. I'm sure he will be missed in the community and by his many friends. God welcomed him with open arms.

I'll be out of town working, so I can't get to the memorial service. But I will have him on my mind and in my heart. He was there for me when others were ready to let go. He was a good man, an awesome bank manager in my eyes , and I considered him a friend. The world could use more like him, and thiscommunity will miss him.

I always remember seeing him when I played junior golf and high school golf with his grandson, Jacob. He was such a nice man and always had a smile and a laugh. I also remember him coming to Kenbridge Auto Parts when I was working there and he was always a friendly face to greet and talk with. May God be with his family.
