I am very saddened to hear of Bing's passing. I worked with "Paw Paw" many years and he was one of the finest men I've had the pleasure of working with. God Bless the Laughlin family.

Just one of the many wonderful things in the world about my Uncle Bing was that he was the greatest bubble talker in the world. His light burned brightly while he was with us. May he watch over us and protect us from above. We will greatly miss him. 'I am the resurrection and the life,' says the Lord. 'Those who believe in me, even though they die, will live, and everyone who lives and believes in me will never die.' John 11.25-26

There are a few people I could always count on to make me laugh and give me something to think about. I always looked forward to talking and visiting with Bing. He was extremely proud of his family and grandchildren and I appreciated being kept up to date on all their accomplishments. I'm sure Bing's family has many wonderful memories of him and I know I will most certainly miss him. My prayers for the family and once again, he was REALLY funny and the world needs more of men like him.
