Kenneth Gordon Macgregor
Kenneth Gordon Macgregor was 74 when he passed away on October 30, 2007. He was born in Lyndhurst, Ohio on December 20, 1932 to John and Virginia Macgregor. Five years later his sister Sandra arrived. He had a happy family life. When he was 18 the Korean War was going on. He joined the Navy and was assigned to the submarine service, thus starting his life-long love with the ocean. While stationed in Boston he met and fell in love with a beautiful Italian girl named Irma Rosemarie LaBella. He absolutely loved sitting in the East Boston kitchen of Irma’s parent’s home learning how to cook Italian food and speak Italian. Ken asked Irma to marry him and they were wed August 3, 1952.
After his time in the Navy he worked several jobs to find the one that satisfied him best, and then decided to study to become an Electronics Engineer, which became a career he excelled at until his retirement.
Ken had two daughters, Sharon Lynn and Cynthia, and much to his children’s dismay, moved his family several times, finally settling in a suburb of Boston, MA.
He was a wonderful husband and father and took delight in family pursuits such as camping, hiking and skiing. He built a photography lab in the basement for Cynthia and supported Sharon’s love of art and horseback riding.
For himself his interests were wide; he loved languages, especially Italian, Hebrew and Egyptian and continued his study of these subjects all of his life. He was particularly fascinated by Egyptian culture and history and was fortunate to have his work give him an exceptional opportunity to travel to Egypt to see the objects he so loved.
He also loved the ocean and boating, and, in fact, lived aboard with Irma for over 10 years traveling the intra-coastal waterway from Boston to Florida to the Bahamas and back.
Ken was creative and loved to paint, carve and work with wood, garden, and cook. Always a man of learning, he truly knew a little about every subject.
In the past 15 years Ken and Irma worked together building their family business where his roles were Finance Manager and Graphic Designer.
Most recently Ken and Irma moved once again to be near family, and Ken had the opportunity to reconnect with his beloved grandchildren, Carlee Aislynn and Rianna Rose, both of whom he was extremely proud of for their academic success and loving nature.
Ken can be best described as an intelligent, honest, compassionate and thoughtful man who loved his family dearly. Ken will be missed and remembered forever in our hearts along with the unknown recipient(s) who have his loving, living gift.
Love always,
Sharon, Cynthia, Wayne, Dick, Carlee and Rianna
I wish your soul to rest in peace.
Adieu my dear heart – Irma

Lawrence Manley
My loved one will always have a place in my heart for he has blessed me with many years of love and happiness. He was a very giving person, and even offering the precious gift of sight to someone makes me feel proud that he has been my husband for 15 wonderful years. The opportunity to remember and honor him in the month of April is especially touching as April is his birthday month.
He was a very special and unique person who loved life greatly and touched the lives of many people. He encountered many struggles during his 61 years, but he always kept overcoming. I shall always feel humbled by the fact that he ever came into my life and changed it so greatly for the better.
Peggy Joyce Marsh
Peggy Joyce Marsh, with a bright smile every day, was a kind and gentle soul. She had a way with people that touched hearts everywhere. She was creative and free spirited throughout life. Peggy never complained or showed pain but instead used her illness as a strength. Although she was strong, her patience and selflessness were her best assets. Peggy kept her family, Shanika (daughter), and seven grandchildren, Melissa (19), Treon (14), Terrence (12), Trinity (6), Symieon (5), Cevion (4) and Cevyn (2) strong. We love her but the Lord loves her more and she now resides with him.
Gilbert “Gib” Martin
Gib was born September 13, 1990 and is our first child. He is also a first grandson and first nephew to both sides of our family. As an infant and youngster, Gib was incredibly happy. He laughed all the time. Gib maintained an upbeat, positive attitude through much of his youth. We always felt that Gib possessed wisdom beyond his years. He could talk with adults as easily as he could kids his own age – offering advice and positive encouragement whenever needed. He was baptized in 2003 at the age of 12. Gib grew to be a good and faithful friend to many people including me. In fact, most of his classmates and acquaintances have said that Gib was very best at being a friend. I can’t recall one time that Gib ever put himself before anyone else. It was just in his nature to see that those around him were taken care of before he did anything for himself. I could not be more pleased or proud of a child than I am of Gib.
Leonard “Len” Gary Martin, Jr.
Leonard, Jr. (Len as he was called by family and loved ones) was born on March 9, 1972 in Rockingham County, NC.
From an early age he was a jokester who could keep everyone laughing no matter what the situation. He was fun loving and cared for all people, particularly the downtrodden. Even as a young boy in school, he would frequently come home, burdened that some child in his class did not have the money to go on a field trip. We would always manage to find the resources to help out, and Len was always so happy for us to do so.
He was an excellent student and made almost straight A’s at Lincoln Elementary in Ruffin, NC. He later moved on to high school at Rockingham County High where he participated in the sports program. He excelled in softball and enjoyed the sport with our church, Happy Home, and also with the recreation league in Reidsville.
Len went on to graduate from East Carolina University in Greenville, NC, where he majored in biology. They were fun-filled years where he made several good friends. After graduation he came to work with the family business of rental property where he learned every aspect of the rental world – plumbing, electrical, carpentry, etc. He was a joy to be associated with and accomplished much for our family business.
Len has two small sons, Daniel Layne, age 8, and Brandon Luke, age 3. They are so much like their dad that his memory will live on through them. We are so honored to have them in our lives.
In addition to two fine sons, Len leaves behind two wonderful sisters, Kimberly Gauldin and Wendy Williamson, and also five nieces and nephews. His grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Page, are alive and reside in the Oregon Hill community, along with his mom and dad, Gail and Leonard Martin.
About two years ago Len received salvation at a small church in Eden, NC – True Hope where Mark Wright is the pastor. His love for God was apparent at that time and we were honored to attend his baptismal on July 17, 2005. This was certainly an answer to our prayers.
Len has truly been missed by all of us, but even in death so much good has come about and we can only praise God. His death has touched so many people that we are sure lives will be changed for the better.
It was a pleasure for my family to honor some needy person with the eyes of our son and we pray for the continued efforts of the Eye Bank.
Wendell Martin
This is Stephanie Throckmorton, Wendell Martin's sister. I am 15 years old. To me, Wendell was my best friend; we did everything together. He was my role model. I would get Wendell up in the morning to get ready to go to school, and he would yell at me to leave him alone. But I would keep on getting on his nerves, and he would eventually get up and get ready. Wendell and I went to South Stokes High School in Stokes County. He was in the 11th and I was in the 10th. You can tell that he failed a couple of times, but he was smarter than anyone I know, especially at math. He was a genius at math. He loved every style of music - rap, country, rock, heavy metal, etc. Wendell was the happiest person I ever met; well at least I thought. Wendell was the kind of person who would make everybody else happy before he would himself. I loved Wendell so much; it was so hard to lose him, but I know that he is in a better place. I thank all of you for all of your support.
Gloria Luray Parker Maruskin
The loss of a loved one is sad. Gloria was loved by all and there are a lot of sad people. Gloria is gone, but many people’s lives are better because of her. All agree she was always happy. Gloria had a glow about her. I am blessed to have been with her for 25 years. Going through all those years of photos, I could feel and see the glow. I guess Gloria was a good name for her.
As a young girl she was nicknamed Tiny. It stuck with her. She was one beautiful Tiny Baby.
Tiny was a God and country girl. Animals and plants loved her. She grew a lot of beautiful plants and flowers. She could fish, too. She loved to go to the Gulf Stream; picked a mean blue crab. A great camper; knew how to handle herself in a boat. Great cook; NASCAR fan; didn’t hunt but won at Turkey Shoots. Loved Elvis. She loved having a good time with family and friends. My Best Friend and Wonderful Wife.
Tiny Baby used her beautiful eyes to stimulate her brain. She loved to read – mostly thousands of romance novels. Aside from the love, she also pictured and learned of the places the stories took place. She did every puzzle the newspaper offered. She knew sight is precious. Thank you, Sugar. We all miss you and will always love you.
Timothy “Tim” Mash
October 14, 1962 – July 31, 2007
Tim was a very loving and caring person. He left behind many friends and family that miss him very much. We cherish the memories we shared.
Tim will always be in our hearts and he would not want us to be sad.
He served in the US Marines, loved to fish and was a NASCAR fan. His favorite driver was Dale Earnhardt #3.
It gives me comfort to know that he gave the gift of sight to someone by being a donor.
God bless and keep you till we meet in Heaven.
Russell Mason
My husband Russ was my very best friend. I miss so much the love of this wonderful man who loved me more than anything else. He would so often say to me, “You can’t possibly know how very much I love you.” I grew to love and respect him more and more each day. When he had convictions about something, he stood firm even if he had to stand alone. He was not trying to be popular, but was trying to do what he felt was based on the Bible.
He was one who could come up with a solution for any problem that I had; whether it was how to motivate my students about a science lesson, plan a family get together or anything that was important to me. If I was concerned about something, he took it on as if it was the most important thing to him at that moment.
His work required him to travel rather frequently, but he would still talk to me on the phone several times every day. At 9:30 every night he would call to talk about the day and always reminded me to lock the doors and turn on the alarm. He never failed to do this no matter where he was. I truly felt very loved and cared for.
I know without a doubt that the wisdom that he had came from God, because I saw him draw closer and closer to the Lord as the years went by. As a matter of fact, when he passed away he fell to the floor at the corner of our bed, which is where he knelt to pray every morning before he went to work. He had such love and compassion for other people, which he showed wherever we were. When he stayed in a motel he would always leave a Gideon Bible opened to a passage he had been reading so the maid would have to pick up the Bible to make the bed.
I didn’t realize how much I depended on Russ and needed him until he was gone. As a Christian, I know that Russ is in heaven with Jesus and I’m looking forward to being with him again. Because of Russ’ going to his heavenly home, heaven has become so much sweeter to me.
I am very proud to have been his wife.
Chad Michael May
Chad was an exceptionally responsible 19-year-old young man. He lived life to the fullest. He worked hard and played hard. Chad loved baseball all his life, so much so that he coached his own little league team. The children loved and respected him. He also enjoyed 4-wheeling, duck hunting and motorcycle riding. Chad had a new interest before he passed on; he planned to join the Army. A couple of weeks before he died, he tried parachuting. Chad always reached out to help people whenever he could. Everyone who knew him loved him. We all miss him very much! Chad left us with many treasured memories. We are very proud of Chad’s decision he made while still alive to be an organ donor. Even after he was killed in a motorcycle accident, he continues to help others through organ donation. He will be forever in our hearts!
Timothy McCart
Tim was born in Toronto, OH on February 2, 1965. He grew up being a loving son, brother and friend. He moved to North Carolina in November, 1989 to start a new life. I met him in November, 1993 at a part time job and fell madly in love with his warm smile, loving ways, and sparkling personality. He played and loved to watch football, especially Notre Dame and the Pittsburgh Steelers. He was always the "grill master", "Mr. Fireworks", the prankster and my all-time best friend. Tim touched everyone he ever met and made everyone smile and full of laughter. He was our gentle giant and in his words, my protector. He loved my two boys as if they were his own, and they loved him deeply as a father. We lost our eldest son tragically in February 2005, and I could never have made it through that without him. He loved his dogs (especially his Buddy) and his hairless Sphinx cats. We got married on March 13, 1995 and were inseparable until the day I tragically lost my soul mate on Dec. 26, 2007. I am the luckiest woman in the world to have had such a loving husband in my life. God called him home and he's at peace now with our Lord watching down upon us every day. Tim will always be loved and missed deeply. We will be together again.
With all my love forever and always,
Your wife, Sekret
Herman J. McClary
June 27, 1944 – March 26, 2007
Herman was a motorcycle and classical car enthusiast. He was also an avid camper, known for his warm smile and pleasant personality.
Just Piddling
“I am just piddling,” were the words my good friend Herman would often say. He had gifted hands, a warm smile, a meek and kind spirit, was very reliable and quick to lend a helping hand.
He was always meeting friends, never met a stranger, always willing to help others and most of all, he was a hard worker in the Lord’s church. His words were, “Stop giving excuses and get the job done.” Idle was not a word to describe this gentle giant who went out of his way to help others.
Early to bed and even earlier to rise. He accomplished more than most in any given day. A quiet, steady worker with the talent to fix just about anything from cars, trucks, equipment, machinery and even when cooking endlessly on his big red grill. Always laboring but never a charge or a bill.
Among the Piddlers he was one of the best and now the Master has called him home to rest. May you rest in peace, my good friend.

George Shannon McCrory
Shannon McCrory and wife Deborah were married for 29 years. They had two children, Joshua, 27 years old, and Meghan, 24 years old, and two grandchildren, Ethan McCrory, 5 years old, and Deacon McCrory, 2 years old. He also has a son, Douglas, 40 years old, from a previous marriage.
Shannon had no hobbies. He was a workaholic. He always worked in some part of construction. He built bridges for many years. Then in 1999 he started pumping concrete; that’s the job he had when he was killed.
He loved his family very much. His grandsons were the apples of his eye.
He was a Sunday school teacher at Riverside Baptist Church. He loved the Lord very much. In 1998 we sold our house in Mebane and bought 10 acres in Efland. He wanted to build a log house, so we bought a camper and lived in it for 2 1/2 years while we built the house. We have lots of stories to remember about building the house. We loved the time we spent together in the house. But I think the best for Shannon was after the house was finished, sitting on his porch. He loved to read. If you couldn’t find him, chances are he was on the porch with a book and a cup of coffee.
The thing I would like people to know about him is that he was a tall, lanky, soft-spoken, Southern gentleman. He would give you the shirt off his back. He would always give someone a second chance, no matter how bad they hurt him the first time.
He was the love of my life and I miss him dearly.
Charles Stephen McCullen
April 12, 1937 – May 3, 2006
Charles Stephen McCullen was born April 12, 1937 to Neil and Mary Massey McCullen. He had an older sister Gertrude Massey. Their father died when both were very young and they never knew his father. His mother remarried later in life, and Charles and his sister were raised by his stepfather Hubert “Tobe” Faircloth. The family grew to include five brothers, Danny Faircloth, Donald Faircloth, Ronnie Faircloth and Mike Faircloth; and one sister Ethel Faircloth.
Charles married Joyce Davis on November 3, 1955. Their first son, Charles Randy McCullen, was born January 26, 1957; then their second son, Denis James McCullen, was born July 24, 1959; and their daughter, Kimberly Joyce McCullen, was born January 6, 1961. Charles and Joyce were happily married 30 years until Joyce was diagnosed with breast cancer in July 1985 and lost her courageous battle on December 15, 1985. Charles never got over his wife’s death, and the next 21 years were filled with sorrow, disappointments and grief. Although there was a second marriage in 1987 for a few years, it was never the same and he experienced the pain of divorce.
His fondest days were with his wife and children when they spent time together camping and fishing, which were Charles’ two favorite pastimes. They enjoyed hooking up the camper and going to Arrowhead Campground at Salter Path, NC on weekends. In the days that his wife battled cancer, he was at her side every day. During this time, both began to attend Riverside FWB Church in Princeton, NC. Both accepted Christ as their personal savior. Charles had been a chain smoker, but the day he went into the church and accepted Christ, he never smoked again. He had the privilege of being baptized with his wife.
In 1992 he met a Christian friend, Josephine Narron, from Smithfield, NC. They both were divorced, but never married. Their passion was attending church together, singing in the choir and going out to dinner. They enjoyed each other’s Christian company for almost 15 years. They attended their beloved church, Branch Chapel FWB Church, Selma, NC, where everyone loved to hear Charles do his special solo renditions.
Charles had his first heart attack in 2000 when stents were put in. Although he had chest pains on occasion, he did fine until April 7, 2005. He was admitted to Wake Medical Center in Raleigh, NC for prostate cancer surgery which he was told was successful. However, he had a major heart attack a few days later while in the hospital after the cancer surgery and was in ICU in critical condition. He fought a good fight and came home on April 13, 2005. However, the next week he had another major heart attack at home and was transported back to Wake Med where he spent the remainder of the month in the hospital. He had to have stents put in for a second time. Then he was told his heart had received extensive damage and needed a defibrillator rather than a pacemaker. He had the defibrillator put in, thus began the decline of his health. He lost 30 pounds the month of April 2005. He was never able to return to his beloved work at Siemens in Wendell, NC.
He was in and out of the hospital the rest of his life. His weight began to plummet. He had to be on a low-salt diet; thus he could no longer eat all the foods he loved. His beloved friend, Josephine, cooked and provided the proper diet he needed. In April 2006 Charles was in and out of the hospital every week. He lost his battle with heart and lung disease on May 3, 2006. He went from 190 pounds in April 2005 to 119 pounds at death. In addition to his three children and spouses, Randy and Marcia McCullen, Dennis and Wanda McCullen, and Kim and Mike Kiewert, he is survived by two grandsons, Stephen and Scott Kiewert. Charles was a very quiet, private man who loved life, family and God, and he fought to live it to the very end.
Anita Denise Scales McFadden
Anita Denise Scales McFadden was born October 20, 1956 to the late James and Alease Scales. She departed her earthly life on November 9, 2007 at Moses Cone Memorial Hospital.
She leaves her cherished memories to her 3 children – Adriane McFadden-Lash (married to Bobby Lash, Jr.) from Walnut Cove, NC; Rodgers Tyrell McFadden; Devan Blackstock (married to Will Blackstock) from Eden, NC. She also leaves her cherished memories to her grandbabies – Bobby Lash III; Hairston “Harry” Lash; and Aubrianna “Peanut Butter Baby” Lash. Also her memories are left to her baby brothers – Dwight “Ikey” Scales (Susan); Timothy “Tim” Scales (Louise); and Micheal “Mike” Scales (Phyllis).
Anita was a good woman. She loved to read science fiction and romance novels and watch soap operas. My mama loved life. She was a comedian. She made a joke out of every situation that may have come her way. My mama was known to many as “Nita” but known to her beloved grandbabies as “Grunt.” Mama’s favorite sayings were “It’s neither here or there” and “Don’t be persnickety!”
Anita was a graduate of Stoneville High School and later attended Rockingham Community College.
As for my mama, all I can say is that we will all miss her so very much. Everyone who has met my mama loved her personality.
David Christopher McGowan
David Christopher McGowan, age 37, died on Sunday, January 21, 2007 at New Hanover Regional Medical Center following a 15-month struggle with pancreatic cancer.
He was born on March 10, 1969 in Charlotte, NC and was the son of Barbara G. McGowan of Leland, and Calvin L. McGowan and wife, Diane, of Wrightsville Beach, NC. He was preceded in death by a brother Jimmy. He is survived by his sister Cheryl, his brother John and his daughter Brittany.
David graduated from Cape Fear Community College and was an electronics engineer by profession. His favorite pastimes included duck hunting and restoring vintage VW buses. He and his father had well over 2 dozen VW buses and “bugs.” David hoped to restore all of them, and was enrolled in the auto body restoration program at CFCC at the time of his death.
In David’s honor we established the David McGowan Memorial Scholarship Fund to provide scholarships to CFCC students who share David’s passion for automobile restoration.
David had a wonderful sense of humor and loved to recite favorite movie dialogue – National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation and Napoleon Dynamite were just two of many favorites. He had a passion for books and magazines and never threw one away.
He was an honest, kind and loving person. I am so proud to be his mother.

Jewel Church McInnis
July 3, 1936 – October 10, 2007
My wife, Jewel, was a woman who invested her life in others. She was a math teacher for 30 years at Ferndale Junior High and High Point Central High School in High Point.
Jewel was very proud of her two daughters. Patsy Cannon is an electrical engineer in Lynchburg, VA. Barbara C. Brown is a registered nurse in Spartanburg, SC. Barbara and her husband, Josh, made Jewel a proud grandmother of Nicholas, born July 27, 2007.
Jewel was devoted to her parents, Hazel and Ray Church of Wilkes County, and her brother Benny of Winston-Salem. Every holiday and many weekends were spent visiting her parents. Jewel’s mother was blinded by retinitis pigmentosa. In spite of her blindness for over 50 years, Jewel’s mom cooked, kept a garden, canned and froze vegetables and maintained a spotless home. It was because of her mom’s condition that we willingly made the donation of Jewel’s eyes.
Jewel died one week short of our 19th anniversary. Marrying Jewel was the best thing I ever did.

1951 – 2007
My father, my friend – around town he was known for being very handsome, having a head full of gray hair and a great smile! He was quiet most of the time, but if the conversation was good and interesting, you could not shut him up. He was a very inquisitive person. He also could act silly when he wanted to. I can hear and see him now making up crazy beats and dancing. He was a hard worker and always supplied for his family.
His Favorites:
Movie - Duel
Soda – Coca-Cola
Food – Spaghetti
Sweets – Snickers/Orange Slices
Song – Silent Night by The Temptations
Shoe – Chuck Taylor’s

Jayla Denise McNair
Miss Jayla Denise McNair, newborn, passed away Tuesday, May 29, 2007.
Jayla went home today (10:29 pm – 11:58 pm) to a much better place. Our child is gone; we hardly remember her coming. A moment in time that was both the longest and shortest of our life.
Time to go on, Time to get on:
With life
With love
With a hole in our heart, but with joy
For that moment.
Jayla did not live her life in vain
Look how she touched us all.
That we may treasure the memory and the beauty of the gift “sight”.
We love you, Jayla Denise McNair
Until we meet again,
Daddy and Mommy
Betty Medlin
Betty Medlin stood for many things, believed in them with her whole self, and we should be reminded so that we may take these things and keep them and use them daily. If we do not honor her by learning from her, then we have destroyed one of her truest dreams to become a servant to her family and community. Betty believed in doing. She believed in putting her best foot forward and getting the job done. We look at her today and see the plans she had made for her life that were tragically interrupted, but we must also look past to all she had already accomplished. Not only had she put her own life in motion, she also nudged, pulled and sometimes physically forced many in the right direction.
Betty believed in helping others. Not only did she believe in this, she lived her life for this. She touched so many people in her years of service as mayor; she changed so many lives and she healed so many wounds simply by being herself. I know a multitude of people considered Betty their best friend.
We knew her as mother, grandmother and great-grandmother or to simply put it “Ma”. She gave to us, her children, a sense of pride and boldness to stand for what is right. She had many ways of showing her love, and as her daughters, we were fortunate to receive a mother’s love. Mom, you will forever be our best friend; your love will forever be in our hearts.
Bob Wayne Mendenhall
Bob, we loved you dearly.
You were a wonderful husband, father, father-in-law and grandfather, foot massager and fixer to every broken thing!
People loved you for your humor, much of which will be remembered. Also everyone you came in contact with were your friends, loving to talk with you because you were an interesting man with lots of knowledge on lots of subjects. You were always willing to give your helping hand and knowledge to help others when they asked for help.
We will remember our good times on the boat, flying the plane and our good times on vacations together.
Our love and God bless you,
Your family and friends
Lee Edward Miller
Lee Edward Miller died at the age of 70 on February 1, 2007. He was a native of Missouri, graduating from the University of Nebraska. He retired after 34 years with General Electric.
He was always involved in many community boards and activities. He traveled to Kosovo in 1999 on a humanitarian trip distributing food.
He enjoyed meeting people and sports, especially golf. He was a St. Louis Cardinals (baseball) fan.
Lee was loved and cherished by all and is survived by his wife, Mary Knox Miller; daughter, Elizabeth Miller Harnish; son-in-law, Eric Harnish; and grandchildren, Lindsay and Abigail; sons, Christopher James Miller and Kevin R. Miller; daughter-in-law Griselda Miller; and grandchild, Nicole.
He was special.
Joshua R. Mozingo
I will always remember the hugs and kisses he shared so freely; such a loving child that carried over into his adulthood. Josh would always walk up with a big smile and say, “Give me a hug, Dad!”
After high school Josh joined the Army and served his country faithfully in Iraq. He was an avid history buff (his favorite TV channel was the History Channel); he loved listening to music, and trips to the beach with family and friends. Josh and the entire Mozingo family enjoyed Friday night dinners together every week. Josh was a charmer and had a quick-witted sense of humor that endeared him to all who knew him.
He is so missed, but his enduring qualities and memories will never be forgotten.
Dad
Mildred Faye Murphy
Faye understood the importance of organ donation. As a teenager she was the recipient of a cornea. Often she would praise the young person who lost their life to donate the cornea to her. This gift allowed her to see beauty in the world most take for granted.
Ironically the scope of her vision was not limited to eyesight. She saw the beauty of friendship, sacrifice, pain and mostly the beauty of sharing these insights with others.
The perseverance of dedicated people such as your organization has provided special individuals the opportunity to share all types of beauty with average people like myself. Your work not only enriched Faye’s life, but mine as well.
