William Gary "Tex" Kole, III

Rest in peace my old friend. There was no one like you. Truly loved and truly missed. I just turned 60 so to most young folks I am considered wise. You had that aged wisdom when we were kids. Between the two of us we always knew the right thing to do. However doesn't mean we always did it right. Through our faith in Christ and standing on His promises it is a comfort to me and I hope to your family that you knew Jesus and are now with Him.

So sorry Ms Margaret, for your loss...

My heart goes out to you. God Bless

Rest in peace my friend. You will live forever in my heart. I remember so many wonderful things about us growing up together. You were always a good guy and a good friend. I know you are in a much better place, and it will be nice to see you again for all eternity. LaVera, I have you and your family in my prayers.

Tex you were always a kind and compassionate person to me and everyone that you came into contact with. I remember our school days with great memories of you. We had a blast in our Journalism class. I know it's been many years since I saw you but I will never forget you. I know you will leave a void in many hearts.

Tex, my thoughts of your passing have been hard to put in context. I guess the Almighty needed another Angel or in your case a heavenly clown. You were one of the jokesters of the class but you could make someone really believe the bull you dished out. But behind all that silly was the heart of Saint, a compassionate and caring person. You came to us in the second grade and had such a good influence on those around you. I can still see you writing upside down because you were left handed. I always thought that was funny. We were all disappointed when you couldn't make it to the 40th class reunion, but you said something came up and we all understood. But we were so sad we didn't get to see you. Rest among the Angels William Tex Kole III. I am a better person from having known you. You are a beautiful memory of my childhood that I will always embrace. To your family I offer my sincere condolences and sympathy.

Tex, you had the kindest heart when we were in school. And the few times that I got to see you as an adult it was clear that you were still the friend that you were in school. You had no judgement. You were witty and yet sincere. I wish you had made it to the 40th reunion of our Class. Fly high my friend!

Candy, we are so sorry for your loss. Praying for God's arms to surround you and comfort you.

Tex, It has been a pleasure having you as a friend for over 50 yrs. You will always have a special place in my heart.... I will miss you dearly my sweet friend! Always, Gina

Words can not explain what a tremendous privilege to have known a kind, sweet person as Tex .Prayers for all and God bless.

Love to you Candy. I didn't know Tex well but loved his kindness and heart. My heart goes out to his family

Tex you are like no one I've ever met! Fly high!

Tex my friend, I am blessed to have known you. Thanks for your kindness.

Tex, you were a great friend in school and we shared a lot of good times together. We were the class clowns of the class of 78 for West Hardin . I will truly miss your friendship. Rest in peace my friend.

You were such a sweet soul. We will miss you tremendously...

Worked with Tex many years ago at Park Place Hospital. My prayer are with the family.

I am sorry for your family's loss. I used to work the Tex at Park Place hospital in Port Arthur, Texas. May God wrap you in HIS loving arms and give you strength and comfort in the days ahead. Keeping you in prayer.

Jealous of the angels. Love you Tex. Love you Candy
