His family sat in the front pews, and fellow congregants hugged them and wept."He was so well known, he made himself known," the Rev.
Shayne Duvall said. "This community is mourning. We’re trying to wrap our heads around it."Rose petals lay at the entrance of the Old National Bank on April 11, 2023 in Louisville, Kentucky.
