Furnie, a man of few words, was compassionate, shy and quiet. He loved his family and his cup of coffee. Furnie enjoyed joking around and playing tricks and he loved for his wife to read him the bible. Their family had a close bond and he has left a void that can never be filled. He will be greatly missed.

The family will receive friends from 6-8 pm on Tuesday, October 24th at Bladen Gaskins Funeral Home in Elizabethtown. A funeral service will be held on Wednesday, October 25th at 3 pm at First Assembly of God Church in Bladenboro with Rev. Anthony Hardin officiating.
