Our hearts and prayers go out to Shelby and the entire List family as you say goodbye to such an amazing man and family patriarch. We know how much he meant to all of you and are blessed we had the privilege to meet him and witness the incredible relationship he had with his children and grandchildren. Not only was he an amazing father figure in so many of your lives, but an American patriot who will never be forgotten for the sacrifices he made to our country. We love you all and are certainly thinking about you during this difficult time!

Wally Herb and families, so sorry to hear of your dads passing, he was the sweetest guy, We will miss him coming to the car wash a lot of afternoons to get his can of pop. I always told him he didn’t need to park across the street but he told me it was good exercise. Hugs and prayers.🙏🏻
