Mr. Driver was one of the greatest men I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. I enjoyed our many talks of God and his encouragement in my faith. He always made me smile and I enjoyed each time he visited the office. Ms. Shirley, you are in my thoughts and prayers. Much love, Karen Strickland ANderson

He was a very kind and loving man. I only met him a handful of times but he was always a wonderful witness for Jesus and truly loved all his family. He was a loving uncle to my cousin Laura Driver Ross and I know she will miss him deeply. I’m so sorry for your loss. Praying peace and comfort for your family.

Mr. Driver was our weatherman, our historian, bought countless World's Finest chocolate almonds, and was never without a smile! His love for Jesus was a true testimony and his character and integrity was like no other. We will miss you, Mr. Driver! We are praying for Mrs. Shirley and all of your family!
