He retired from Gifford Hill as their head diesel mechanic in 1992. Deb helped everyone that was in need. Whether it would be someone needing a wheelchair, walker, etc. he still has a big supply in his shed! He spent numerous hours as a deacon of First Baptist Church, whether he was driving his family and friends to doctor appointments or visiting hospitals and his little ladies that he was a deacon to. Deb was the most Godly man you could ever meet. He lived his life for the Lord daily. Deb's retirement didn't last long as he started working for John Collin's, that owned numerous properties in village south MHP in 1994 and if that wasn't enough he started his 2nd job in 2002 managing Jim Mentzel's rental property at Village South MHP. He finally retired at 90 years old. When he wasn't helping others, he took plenty of time for family fun, being one of Deb's children if he didn't have us on 8 wheels in the Roller Rink we were on 2 wheels riding motorcycles. He lived his life to the fullest and collected a few other children along the way. He loved Molly Ayers, Chad Jones, Robert Harris, Toni Cook, Jim Mentzel and Brother Rick Davis as his very own and their families. Deb has left his legacy and anyone that knew him already knows his passion for the Lord. He taught many people what life is really about. He will be missed but he's in Heaven and I his daughter that he nicknamed Henry at birth have a feeling that Perry Aday's was sitting at the Gates of Heaven in the Golf cart waiting on his golfing buddy!
