I worked for Ashton in Dallas Texas from 1985–1990. I was only 22 years old when I started working for Ashton, and I was amazed at how responsible he was only 5 years, my senior… he was my first real boss in a professional setting, and I did not realize the value of the lessons he was teaching me until much later in life. I could not agree more strongly with all the positive heartfelt testaments of his character. I did not know about his Christian faith back then, nor did I care, but now it all makes perfect sense, and I like everyone else who has commented here, I am grateful to God for Ashton and the way God used him for His good. I can only imagine how much Betts and his children must miss him. I appreciate his incredible patience and grace that he extended to me. I look forward to our reunion in Heaven, and to sharing old memories in the midst of God’s everlasting love.
