His joy was his family, and he never failed to expound on their abilities and accomplishments like the proud Dad and Papaw he was. Gaylen was self employed and an avid antique car collector and never passed up the chance to "wheel and deal" for what he considered a bargain. The Bible says in Roman 14:7-8 that "For none of us lives to himself and no one dies to himself. For if we live, we live to the Lord and if we die, we die to the Lord. Therefore, whether we live or die, we are the Lord's."

Again, the family requests your presence, not to mourn, but to rejoice in the memories of a life well lived and a heart that loved well. Prayers are healing, so if you will, whisper one for the family in the coming days. Rollins Funeral Home in Kenova is assisting the family.
