Pappy was such a delightful gentleman whose love of his Lord was deep. From wherever he was sitting he always held out his hand to me motioning me to him and then put his arm around me to greet me. I suppose my fondest memory of him was when he sang in praise with that deep bass voice. I will miss him. But how I rejoice that he didn’t have to spend a long time in pain.
Simply Elegant Spathiphyllum was purchased for the family of William Marion “Pappy” Martaindale.
Pappy was the first person to greet us at church. He was sitting out side on a chair in front of the fellowship hall. He gave me a hug, the first of many, and welcomed me and my family. He was such a sweet man and I loved listening to him sing. He had a beautiful bass voice. We will miss him so much. I know he is happy now that he is with Bonnie and they are singing in the angel choir.
