Sympathy Extended to Families of Two OVEC Supporters

OVEC staff and board wishes to express our deepest sympathy to the family friends, and loved ones of two men who died recently – Roy Brett Senters, 42, and Jerel Blaine “Jerry” Adkins, 44, both of Huntington, WV, both associated with OVEC.

Brett died unexpectedly on March 15, 2006. A talented and passionate musician and lover of nature, Brett played at OVEC’s 2005 Treehuggers’ Ball. Our hearts go out especially to his loving wife, Lisa Cadle Senters, and all of Brett’s friends at the Parker/Porter Farm in Wayne County, WV.

Jerry, who died on March 22, 2006, owned and operator Rugged Resources Sporting Goods in Huntington. As an avid camper and hiker, he loved the outdoors. Jerry allowed OVEC to display our newsletter at his store – a generous gesture not typical of many merchants who view our work as too controversial. Our hearts go out especially to Daryl Adkins, his brother. Both of these young spirits truly will be missed.
