MIDLAND, TEXAS - Floyd Miller, an elder at First Christian Church, remembers the Rev. Thomas Ray Bristol as "a good man" who sought to help people through their struggles.

"He was really an excellent person dealing with people who had problems," Miller said of the late pastor who was instrumental in founding what is now Samaritan Counseling Center of West Texas.

Bristol, who served as minister at First Christian Church from 1968 to 1973 and again from 1987 until his retirement in 1992, died Nov. 16 at his home in the Dallas area.
