Sorry to hear about Mr Cline passing. We were not in the area that much but when we were and attended the Shilo church at Rover we enjoyed his comments on the Bible. The family has our sympathy and prayers and know they will depend on God for their comfort.

I first met Mr. Cline while growing up in his old neighborhood in IL. His son Terry and I were best of friends. Mr. Cline was a very kind and thoughtful man to all of us kids in the neighborhood and had a wonderful sense of humor. Mr. Cline always treated me like a friend even though I was just a kid. He was the Best!
