Gil Massey - a great man of God

This Monday, the angels in heaven welcomed another soul home, Gil Massey of Arcade was Duffield's caretaker and maintenance man for the past 12 years. He was a wonderful man of God, and loved to take care of the camp. He taught the staff members how to properly plunge a toilet, how to drive the tractor, and he never tolerated misuse of paper products. Though he didn't have much direct contact with the campers, Gil helped out the ministry in his own way, and made life at camp that much easier for everyone there. Gil passed away due to complications with cancer, something he had been struggling with for the past few years. A service is being planned for early March, with more details to come.
