Wesley Keng, president of the Giddings Rotary Club, has sent us the following message:

 

It is with great sadness that I write to you today.  I just heard that Travis Sheffield passed away this morning at the rehab facility he was at in Lulling.  I will update you with details concerning services as soon as I have them.  Please pray for Ella during this difficult time.

 

Later details are:

Travis Sheffield's funeral will be at Oak Hill Cemetery in Smithville, Texas on Friday October 19, 2012 at 2:00 p.m.  It will be a graveside service.  If anyone wants to try and car pool to the service, please let me know and I will try to set something up.  If you would like to do something, Travis' family asks in lieu of flowers to please make a donation to the Rotary Foundation in his name.

 

Travis was a member of the Giddings club and a former member of the Smithville-Bastrop County club. He also was a former Assistant Governor for our La Grange club. Some of you will remember that Travis and Ella were at our hamburger party at John Wied's home.
