Mr. Rabon and I met in an unusual way, my uhual truck was parked on his grass across from the Newkirk Apartments. While in search of the trucks driver I came outside and we engaged in a serious conversation. After he forgave me for parking on his grass, he discovered that I was clergy and asked for prayer. I was delighted to pray for him and to encourage his soul. My grandmother and I became concerned for him when he no longer was seen visibly out and about. I am only too sorry that I am now learning of his passing, and I pray that his soul has found that undiscovered land, a home built by God, eternal in the heavens. Sleep well sir and may his memory and hard work never be forgotten.
