His footsteps are hard to follow but a goal to pursue. Only now do I realize how much he taught me simply by the way he lived. He loved life, his family, his friends, and his God. More valuable than goal were these things he gave. A stranger he never met. During his early years he worked at various retail businesses: bread salesman, retail grocery stand, retailing tomatoes hauled from Florida, and farming on the side. About 1948 he started the Killo Exterminating Company and remained there until his death in 1970. He served as a deacon and Sunday School teacher in the Pleasant Plains Baptist Church, Matthews, NC, and was on the Indian Trail, NC school board for several years. He was a Mason and a Shriner. The large number of people who attended his funeral were a testimony to his life. My dad and I were standing and talking to each other when he fell dead of a heart attack at my feet. It was an experience I shall never forget. I thank God for the Dad that He chose for me.
