To all the family of Mr. Warren Eakin, my condolences go out to you over the passing of Warren. He was my DE instructor at Blacksburg high school in the seventies. I thought so much of Warren and appreciated his gentle spirit, and he was a great teacher! I’m praying the Lord comforts you as you go through these days

To the Eakin family, I’m sad to hear about the passing of your father. I know that he was welcomed into Heaven by Lila, and they are together again. I will keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers. God Bless, Barbara
