Janice and family it was truly a blessing to share some of my time with you all while you were in Dandridge. Ras has always been a mentor to me and many others in our profession.  From the casual conversations to the time he and Doug Norman caught me rolling a yard in south Knoxville and made me clean it up!  Rest easy my friend I know you are in heaven!

Janice and Family,
I'm so sorry for your loss, RAS was a true friend. He was at the Masonic Temple for my 3rd degree and was at the funeral home in Maryville when my father passed. We will miss him.

We were so sad to learn of Ras' passing.  He was always a huge support to me as a principal in times of challenge. What a gentleman he was with such a wonderful smile.  He was a friend to many and we appreciated it.  Our prayers go out to his family.

Sending love and hugs and prayers today and in the days ahead.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.  He was such a wonderful man.

I'm so sorry to hear that Ras has passed on. I enjoyed his friendship and the good times we had together.  I'll miss the lunches we had together each month after he left Sheriff Department.
May God Bless him and Keep him.  God Bless You.

Sincerely,
Bob Root

Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this sad time. May God bless and comfort you with his love. Kermit & Marie Fox

Ras was much more than a boss too me. He was an example, mentor and friend. I owe much to him. I have met leaders and presidents none of which could hold a candle to "Ras". My family is praying for God to lighten your loss.

Dear Janice, Our hearts are heavy now but we know he is finally where he will not suffer anymore. We love him dearly and he will be sorely missed. JJ & Gale Johnson

Praying for Janice and the Family during this time of adjustment. This was our precious neighbor who always had the biggest smile every time you saw him. Don't we know that smile got even bigger when he saw the face of our Lord. What a good role model Ras was.  We love this Scruggs Family.                                                                                                                                        
                                                                     
                                                                              The Dunn Family

I worked at KPD 1974-2007.  I always knew Ras as cordial and a gentleman on every occasion. He was a fine man and officer and will be missed. My sincerest condolences and prayers for you all.

My deepest sympathy to family and friends. May your hearts find comfort in reading Matt 5:4 in this time of sorrow.

There are no words, my friend, just love and prayers and I hope you know that both are yours from me.  Been a while since the wedding!! Numbers 6:24-26.   Ginger

Ola and I are sorry to learn of "Ras's" passing, but are confident that we'll see him again.  Was grateful to God for allowing us to become friends with Janice and "Ras" during their time at Swannsylvania Baptist Church.  We offer our sympathy and prayers to the family.

May God place His arms around Ras' family. I worked with Ras for several years in the Knox County Schools and respected and admired him very much. He was a true friend and everyone loved him. He will be truly missed. He was a precious person!

Janice, I'm praying for you and your precious family.  God bless and comfort each of you.

Janice and family, I'm so sorry to learn of my good friend "Ras" passing.  Great man, I know he is enjoying heaven.  God Bless!!

I want to offer my sincere condolences to the family for your loss. I knew Ras as a KPD detective and School Security Chief when I worked for the Sheriff's Department. He was always smiling and joyful. He never failed to assist in any way could. He will be missed God bless your family may he give you comfort as you grieve for Ras.

I worked with "Ras" at the Knoxville Police Department from 1970 until 1977.  I have never worked with a finer Christian gentleman and am so thankful for his respect and helpfulness during my job there. He was one of the finest officers Knoxville was ever honored to have.  May GOD bring you peace and comfort during this difficult time.
