Linda Storm wrote a sympathy message

“Enoch's mother lived next to my mother in law on Maple Street in Joplin. Ada suggested Enoch to officiate at our wedding on the coldest night in recorded Joplin history at that time: Dec. 21, 1949. He did a wonderful job though we all were shivering in the hall we were in. He even serenaded us with a Carpenters' song, "We've Only Just Begun." He seemed like a very nice man and made our wedding a special memory. May your memories make you smile and your faith give you hope.”
