GREGORY ALLEN TOWNSEND | Wallace Funeral Home - Huntington Herald Dispatch
Jan 23, 2022Greg is survived by his beloved wife, Angela “Angie” Townsend. He leaves two sons and their families, Travis (Jenna) Townsend of Milton, Adam (Rachel) Townsend; and his grandchildren, Noah, Liliosa and Charlie of Hurricane, W.Va.; and the mother of his two sons, Juanita (Sam) Webb of Hurricane, W.Va. He also leaves two brothers, one sister and their families: Tim Townsend of Milton, Todd (Jennifer) Townsend of Gallipolis, Ohio, Amy (Marc) Baquerizo of Raleigh, N.C.; and five stepdaughters, Tanisa Rowsey, Breanna New, Kierston Butcher, Mia Davis and Kylee Davis. Greg enjoyed time at his second home on the river at River’s Edge Scenic Campground, Glenwood, W.Va. He had many friends there and made great memories for his family and friends while sharing time at many breakfasts and cookouts with everyone. Greg’s motto was, “The more people, the more fun.” Although Greg was all about laughter, he also had a good business mind. He served as General Manager at Oakwood Homes for nearly four decades and loved placing people in homes that best suited them. His family is overwhelmed by the hundreds of comments they received and the love that has been expressed to them. Greg was all about helping others. It’s simply who he was and reflected his giving character. The lives of his family will be forever changed. He was their joy, happiness and the one that held the family together in good times and bad. To say he will be missed is such an understatement. Greg’s visitation will be Monday, January 24, 2022, at Wallace Funeral Home in Milton from 6 to 8 p.m. Funeral service will be on Tuesday, January 25, 2022, at 11 a.m. Officiating will be Greg’s co-worker and good friend, Pastor Rob Lemon.

Cirenaica Moreira in Havana. Featuring photography, installation work, and performance, Moreira’s exhibition Estas flores malsanas... (These Morbid Flowers...) takes inspiration from Charles Baudelaire’s Les fleurs du mal, biblical notions of sin, and a certain theatricality that, as Joel del Río wrote in Ciber Cuba, “borders on spectacle” [“…de cierta teatralidad vinculada al espectáculo…]. Presenting masculine beauty as an object of desire, Moreira undermines notions of machismo with the elán of a Tropicana chorus dancer. Through January 8 at Galería Servando.

And Rafael Villares. At Galería Artis 718 in Miramar, ECO brings together recent drawings, videos, and installation works in the artist’s series titled ECO. With landscape as its reference point, Villares’s work seeks out parallels and divergences across a range of contexts—the course of a river and the flow of an artery in the human body. At the symbolic level the works function as new linkages in a landscape that fluidly transforms from one elemental state to the next. On view through January 8.

Permanent homes for Detrás del muro artworks. Árbol de luz, Rafael Villares’s playful version of a city street light, is one of several sculptures finding permanent locations around the city. They were first seen last spring in Detrás del muro (Behind the Wall), the 12th Biennial’s massive public-art show along the Malecón. According to an article in Arte por excelencias, Detrás del muro organizer Juan Delgado named Proyecto Reality-Cubo Azul by Rachel Valdés, Delicatessen by Roberto Fabelo, and Primavera by Rafael M. San Juan among the works being relocated, in cooperation with the artists and the Office of the Historian of Havana.

The Purple Tulip: A family business generous with style
Dec 15, 2018The family-owned friendly florist, The Purple Tulip, has taken on a reddish hue as Christmas nears. Located at 5418 Stewart St, across from Milton High School, the shop has an abundance of poinsettias in the showroom with a few trees displaying trendy and classic decorations available for purchase such as sparkly snowmen, snowflakes and stars, and large lettered ornaments saying “Merry Christmas.”
Katherine Dalgleish owns the store with her sister and parents. She said The Purple Tulip has unique Christmas items. “What sets us apart from hobby stores is our custom pieces.” These include wreaths and garlands as well as centerpieces.
In addition to the arrangements in which The Purple Tulip specializes, the showroom generally includes house plants, gift items, “really good chocolate from Texas,” and handmade lotion, Dalgleish said. “I’m excited about our terrariums,” she added. The Purple Tulip does also, occasionally, have purple tulips, she said.
The Purple Tulip’s card says “flowers for every generation.” Dalgleish said “We don’t have one set style. We’re pretty broad.” She added the store delivers within Santa Rosa... http://www.srpressgazette.com/article/20151214/NEWS/151219582
