The last year or so of his life was very troubled. I looked him up on Wikipedia and other sources. He had left his wife and had a very bad drinking problem. He had been drinking all night the night he died, and he was living with his girlfriend. I believe he had many financial problems too. I loved his artwork too. And my children loved it. I hope that he is in Heaven and that he now has peace with God. And I definitely pray for his wife and children. <br />I just couldn't read all the comments and not share the truth.<br />Linda S. from CanadaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1984956841131982891.post-82335837843485750542012-04-14T15:21:22.240-05:002012-04-14T15:21:22.240-05:00Dear Mrs. White,

I follow your blog and only knew of his passing by looking through my blog updates this morning...then I saw yours...<br /><br />Thank you for posting, very lovely. He is my favorite to this day. He wrote a book on marriage? I must read that! I remember when I was 12 one Christmas I unwrapped a gift and then jumped off the couch in excitement to show all what I received...It was a puzzle from one of his paintings...my favorite at the time!<br /><br />Very sad news indeed and he will be greatly missed. Prayers to him and his family!Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06897154366644829528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1984956841131982891.post-29220235993101691822012-04-07T10:49:48.115-05:002012-04-07T10:49:48.115-05:00I read about some of his life years ago--a beautif...I read about some of his life years ago--a beautiful testimony to the grace of God.Rhonda Devinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11030131207177257358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1984956841131982891.post-19367570324813982972012-04-07T09:26:40.564-05:002012-04-07T09:26:40.564-05:00He loved "light" !

The "light" he always used in each painting made it feel so warm and welcoming. <br /><br />I am sad to think that there will be no new pieces from him now that he is gone...but he did so many, that his work will live on for all to enjoy.<br /><br />I love that he shared his faith through art...and that he boldly told of his trust in Jesus. I love how he honored his wife and children too. I feel sad for them in their time of loss.<br /><br />Thanks for posting this.<br /><br />Linda @ Truthful TidbitsLindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17751356958497450109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1984956841131982891.post-14932372382652721662012-04-07T08:26:51.603-05:002012-04-07T08:26:51.603-05:00Dear Vicky,
