GREAT MEN: Who Do You Admire?

[Ferd]

In no particular order

Robert Trapani
A man of wisdom and kindness that has been a long time friend of my mom and dad. He has spoken so much truth into my life. A true Prince among us.
George Glass Sr.
If you don’t know who this is, well, you need to find out. One of the greatest men of God ever. Period. His GC sermon “He has exalted his Word above His Name” should be a must listen to every preacher in Pentecost.
TF Tenney
Graduated from High School with my dad. I remember going to Youth Camp as a young kid and hiding from him until I “Got right with God”…. The man can simply look into your soul.
V. A. Guidroz
If ever there was a man who understood what it means to “do the right thing” it is V.A. Guidroz. He is my bishop and confidant and a man of great wisdom. Doing “it” right, has been his greatest lesson. (and if you think Thad can play a Hammond, you need to hear Sister Guidroz play!)
Tom Coppell
My youth pastor when I was a kid. TC meant more to me than he will ever know. Just a great guy.

Robert Trapani is my sister's father in law. She is married to Anthony Trapani. Robert is a great man of God, one of those under appreciated men in the UPCI.

VA Guidroz - I have his tape in my hand and will listhen to it again this week.

The title: 'The Awesome Anguishing call of a lonely God!

I got to talk with him one on one in Sept 1980.

He spent 3 days getting to talk with him one on one after church in Oak Creek, WI.

I asked him to pray over me.

He remembered my dad.

he did not just say a prayer he and I went into Pastor Frank Tamel's office that was in pastor Tamel's house.

Bro Guidroz prayed with me for over an hour..

He must have been almost 80 at the time....

Great man of God....

Thank you.

"Buddy" stuck but I always called him "Arlen."

Did you know that our own "Big-Larry used to be the Song Leader there 25 or more years ago?

You respect DORA?

HA!


j/k Dora...

Yeah I know 'em all. Her mother Wanda and all her siblings and their children. I even knew her Grandfather's people in Louisiana. I especially knew her Great uncle, V.A. Guidroz's brother who lived in New Orleans.

Knew 'em all.
