All of Franklin County has been saddened to learn of the death of Mike Rowe. He was an energetic, fine man who was well respected and well liked in the county. His easy-going manner was an asset--not only in his business but in his day-to-day involvement with other people. He will be sorely missed. May God bless his family and provide them with His peace which is so necessary to face such a trial as this.
