Preston was one of the finest people I ever met.

He showed me how I could fix my air conditioning unit myself, by helping to get a new fan motor during lunch one day... then encouraging me to replace it myself (which I did successfully).

He was always was uplifting to talk with. I appreciated his words during a trying period at work. My family and I enjoy hotwater from the unit Preston installed at our house (with help from his family).

I often marvelled at the long drive he had everyday (sometimes hours a day driving to and from work)... he always just tossed it off to quiet time and time he spend talking with family, like his son... which he enjoyed so much; he said he wouldn't miss it for the world.



We'll miss you Preston.

We were very sad to hear about our cousin Preston’s passing. We know he is in a wonderful place, in heaven and in our hearts. He always cared about others and was concerned about doing the right thing. We will miss his wonderful smile and his ability to make others comfortable...as he always put others first. God bless him and before long we will all be there singing and rejoicing together.
