I am so sorry for the loss of Andy Rist. I only know of him through his daughter Stacy, and she is a blessing.
I am amazed at the testimony of what GOD can do in a life. Taking a Marine, and making him a pastor of over 25 years. To GOD be the glory.

A childhood friend, ( best buddy), groomsman in my wedding 56 years ago. A Facebook chatter extraordinaire. It’s hard to age gracefully, when so many friends are passing, and you will be missed……
