We will remember Mr. Wingard in our prayers -- I remember how he came to my rescue when the wter heater sprung a leak -- and I didn\\\'t quite know what was happening -- he turned something off -- and told me what I needed to do about getting it repaired. Both Mr and Mrs Wingard were always very pleasnt neighbors.
