Dear Paul and Family,

I read about your father's passing in the paper, and just wanted to let you know I am thinking of you.  I wish I had known your dad; sounds like he was really a wonderful man.  It rubbed off, you know.

Love to all,
Julie Plowden Cocke

So sorry to hear of his passing. Our father worked with Mr Touchton at Skinner's Dairy and always spoke highly of him.

Mr. Touchton was not only my father's right hand in running Skinners' Dairy, he was his good friend.  Cody Skinner relied on Ellis in keeping the business going for almost 40 years.  He did it all, from answering the phone to throwing some cases of milk into the back of his wagon and taking on the job of delivery.  He was a great friend to all our dairy families.  Men from his generation are irreplaceable.

I met Brother and Sister Touchton in the late 1970's at Florida Bible Camp. I worked along side Sister Catherine at the "craft shack", he would walk down to visit us. They were both wonderful Christian examples, that showered their love to the children campers. Years Later I met up with him again at Taylor Home, we would visit, he always talked to me about his "sweet Catherine". I thank the Lord to have known them both.

It was not hard for Brother Touchton to be always kind and gentle with such a warm sincere smile if he was awake. I too like Donna S. was so pleased to know he was going to be doing the closing prayer. He always humbled himself before every one that he talked with and thanked our group repeatedly when we went over to hold services in Taylor Manor, He always thanked God for us that came there to hold worship service  together and prayed for us to be blessed. He will always and forever  be in our
hearts and minds as an Example of what a Christian can come to be trusting and following our Lord. I know the Wesconnett group that goes there this Sunday and Sunday's to come will miss him dearly. 
Although knowing  he's at rest now in Abraham's bosom, We can rejoice knowing he's is exactly where he has worked his whole life to get to. 
  Yes it just wasn't hard for him to be warm and Kind encouraging every one of us including all the residents there.

The one thing that I will always remember about Bro Touchton is the way he would Pray. He Prayed and tears streamed down my face. He literally talked to God. He was very Special.
