We extend our sincerest condolences to the family of Tim Wears.
Tim will be long remembered in our hearts and daily duties at PCC. He was truly dedicated to his job no matter the curves that came his way, and would laugh as hard the hundredth time listening to Jeff Foxworthy as the very first. His laughs were so full, they could be heard down the hallway or across the parking lot.
It's memories like these we can all hold dear, when the tears of sorrow well up in our hearts and eyes.
Our prayers and thoughts are with you in this difficult time.
Sincerest regards,
Pat and Carrie Spain
