My parents were Jesse and Waymeth Heath. Staley and Dad were members of the Legion together and Sheryl and my younger siblings, Susan and David, and I were a part of the square dancing group when we were young. I even went on a long weekend trip to the lake with the family back then. What fun we had. Staley will be missed by all who knew him. Our prayers and thoughts are with his family.

I have known the Snook family all my life. So sad to hear of Staley’s passing. He was a good man from a good family. Our thoughts and prayers are with all his loved ones. He gave many hours of his time helping neighbors and devoting much time to supporting his home town. He will truly be missed.
