Funerals/Memoriams
He was known for his quick wit, his infectious smile, and his kind and compassionate spirit.
His proudest moment was recording a hole-in-one at the Babe Zaharias golf course. It was also on the golf course where he met and fell in love with Carla Coonce and in 2008, they were married in Lake City, Florida. To- gether they united in a love that exemplified the words of John (4:7) “Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God.”

The family also wishes to extend our sincere thanks to Dr. Henry Gallo, Dr. Phillip Atigra, LifePath Hospice, the Blunt and Curry Funeral Home and the clergy, vestry and members of St. Andrew’s Episco- pal Church.

Local
Standoff At Funeral Home Ends Peacefully
Around 2 p.m., Tuesday, police responded to an East Tampa funeral home in reference to a barricaded man inside. They were also told that the man was armed.
When officers arrived at Aikens Funeral Home, 2708 E. Martin Luther King, Jr., they learned that the unidentified man was distraught and talked about harming himself.
The SWAT Team was activated and police communicated with the man for more than 90 minutes. The man then came out and was taken into custody.
After being taken into custody, the unidentified man was trans- ported to a local hospital for evalua- tion. There were no injuries as a result of the incident.
