Glenn Reginal Jernigan, 82. He will be
remembered by some for his years in the
state House and the state Senate. Or sitting
on the fifth or six-row pew every Sunday at
Highland Presbyterian Church, his Bible by
his side. And remembered, too, as standing
close by in a soft rain at a mother's service
on December 21, 2009, at the little, white
church up Moore County way. September
3, 2021.
Allen Rudolph Green Jr., 86. A Massey Hill
boy tried and true. September 20, 2021.
William Lawrence "Larry" Cheek, 85.
"Hey, honey, you gotta read Larry Cheek."
September 30, 2021.
Rev. Arnold Pope. From the pulpit to the
high school and college classrooms to
officiating in the basketball arenas and the
football fields to the Grandfather Mountain
Highland Games to the N.C. Weightlifting
Hall of Fame, he was an everyman.
September 30, 2021.
Donald Lionel Melvin, 86. He talked so
often of heaven and what a day he knew
that would be. October 11, 2021.
William Edward "Billy" Highsmith,
75. From the annual Knights of Pythias
Cumberland Lodge No. 5 Cajun Fish Fry
to helping Friends of the Cancer Center

Wilkes Road; helping men and women
find new lives, he was there to "make a
difference." October 12, 2021.
Harold Kinnon Warren, 93. The longtime
Pine Forest High School principal who
found joy in watching students succeed in
academics and athletics or whatever their

friends and the outdoors. November 12,

JoAnn Johnson Hodges, 81. She never

person that when you meet her once, you
would never forget her, nor would she
forget you. November 22, 2021.

remember. They called him "Hay Street
Howie." December 2, 2021.
