Monticello, AR Sunday, December 16, 2012 The life of Joseph "Joe" Preddy is one of the most Jolly, Fellow Friendly person ever to Grace Wilmar and Drew County, Arkansas. He was a spectacular Secular Man with attributes and charisma that every entity on a daily basis need & soul posses. He was a believer in Jesus Christ and believed in the attributes required for Salvation for we often spoke of them and repentance, confession and the blessing to be alive after living an exclusive secular life and yet the opportunity to confess Jesus Christ as his personal Saviour. Yes Joe was a Jolly Secular Man, majority of his life, yet in due season his exclusive life by his decision ad Christ acceptance thereof, he received the Baptism of the Holy Spirit and yet his greatest attribute was his love for the Brothers and Sisters and his Family.Big Joe Preddy we will miss Him.
