This past week NW Metro Atlanta Habitat lost two of their long-time volunteers. Charlie Choc (pictured left with his wife Donna) and Randy Hinton (pictured right) were promoted to the church eternal. Both men volunteered on our Construction Committee and served as “Grey Ghosts” on our build sites. Their “can do” spirit and easy going manner will be missed by all who worked with them. Our deepest sympathy goes out to their families.
