Cline was raised in Jackson County, NC. His earliest memories goes back to the age of three, where he remembers helping his family move from one home to the next, carrying a sitting hen on her nest and watching his Grandfather Jeff Mathis, sharpen and shave with a straight razor using a tiny mirror hung from a little Hickory limb. Cline made alot of fond memories and lived a wonderful full life and praised our Lord for it. He loved to talk and share his Testimony. What a wonderful life he lived. Growing up in a large family thru the Great Depression was anything but easy. In those days everybody helped everyone, and everybody had to do their part for their families. Which led to many children not getting a schooling education. If you were expected to help out around home, the schoolhouse could wait. But even without a book taught knowledge, these children learned their own ways of education. Barely out of the fourth grade and two weeks into the fifth, and that was enough for Cline. He worked alongside his parents, brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles and cousins cutting acid wood with a crosscut saw. In the early 1940's, Cline and oldest brother Hayes, worked on the Army Base in Oak Ridge, TN, delivering ice, hand carried and chipped from 50lb blocks, into each small trailer that were personal housing for all military and civilian workers on the base. Cline said nobody had a clue what was really being built there. Only the higher ups there knew. In 1941, Cline received his draft noticed and reported, was redeemed physically fit but deferred for other purposes. It turns out he was already recognized as an employee of the US Army along with his brother Hayes because they were employed at the Oak Ridge Base. In late May 2010 Cline received a package in the mail from the US Army regarding the Cold War Patriots Act and the Manhattan Project. This act declared that all workers, military and civilian , that worked and served stateside during the building of the atomic bomb at the Oak Ridge facility and several more, were now recognized thru the Veteran Affairs and American Legion. Hayes passed in May 2010.
Cline was a self-employed roofer and builder and worked hard at it untill he finally retired at the age of 85. Cline loved everyone and never met a stranger and was always ready to help anyone. An avid outdoorsman, he loved to fish, plant a garden, dig ginseng, mow the yard and share memories. But his favorite thing was talking about Our Lord and sharing his testiment which led to many loved ones finding Jesus. His legacy lives on through us.
A memorial service will be held in late May and announced at a later date for Cline and Wanda as they wished.
A special Thank You to Carol Hoban and her staff at Frances Warde and the Hospice Staff we were blessed with, and our friends at Moody Connolly Funeral Home. May God bless you all!
