My beloved father was the husband of Agnes Geddings Ardis and Bertie Vermelle Ardis Ardis Doverspike.
He was the father of Mary Lois Ardis; Larry Leroy Ardis Jr; a baby son who died along with his mother just after birth; Barbara Virginia Ardis Coker of Sumter; and Laura Ruth Ardis Rollinson of Camden.
Mr. Ardis was the owner and manager of Ardis Machine Shop, formerly on S. Main Street in Sumter, SC. A designer, engineer and builder of equipment; and, a beloved father.
He was a member of Pinewood Methodist Church from his childhood.
His favorite place to be? Santee, with his family... And, he always wore a tie even as he fished.
As was typical of this work-dedicated son, husband, and father, he suffered a massive stroke while standing on top of a piece of equipment he was creating. Although efforts were made to save his life, and he was taken to Tuomey Hospital and treated by Dr. White and Dr. Andrews, he died the next day.
A funeral service was held at Hurst Funeral Home on Main Street in Sumter, conducted by his pastor and friend, The Reverend E W Reynolds and Pastor C L Bammesburger of Salem Avenue Baptist Church.
I have missed him every day of my life since 1950. You will never know how many times I have wept at this loss and how deeply I have longed, throughout my life, to be able to sit beside him and talk about life and the decisions which have so often faced me. Someday, Daddy, someday!!!!!
