[ESF] Dean LaForce

[Harold Comings]

Good Afternoon ESFers et Al,
 
Judy received this word from a good friend earlier today.
 
Dean LaForce, member of First Baptist in Johnson City, is in critical
condition at, I believe, Wilson Hospital in Johnson City. He has struggled
physically over the past several years and, now, is in Intensive Care and
Isolation. Only his wife, Shirley, is allowed to visit him. Pain is great
and medication reduces his blood pressure drastically. 
 
Dean was my first pastor in a Baptist Church after I was saved. He was also
a spiritual mentor to me between the ages of seventeen and twenty-four. One
of the nicest compliments I ever received (second hand) was when I heard
that someone who had known him in Seminary said that I acted enough like him
to be my son. God used him, among other things, to overcome shyness and dare
to interact better with people. (Some would say he was successful on the
shyness part, anyway.) Remember Dean and Shirley in your prayers. Also,
their sons Todd and Joel. 
 
Harold
