September 2024 at the age of 82<\/a>.<\/p>\n“When (Eakin) saw he had all these books, he wanted to help out in a way,” Head said. “He didn’t have a lot of money, but he felt that this was a way that he could say thank you.” <\/p>\n
According to Head, several volunteers from the church spent over 80 hours combing through Eakin’s collection of books, some which were still in the original packaging. For her, Eakin’s collection of cookbooks is what stands out as his legacy. <\/p>\n
“The meal, to me, is sharing,” Head said. “So hopefully John’s legacy can be that you get one of these cookbooks and try some new recipes and you invite people over.” <\/p>\n
The church said that the proceeds received from the book sale this weekend will go towards replacing the church’s aging HVAC system.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Columbia hosted a community book sale this weekend\u00a0\u2014 but it wasn’t just any…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":316911,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[31],"tags":[1022,171,88004,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-316910","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-books","8":"tag-books","9":"tag-entertainment","10":"tag-midmissourinews","11":"tag-united-states","12":"tag-unitedstates","13":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115402919523224235","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/316910","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=316910"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/316910\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/316911"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=316910"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=316910"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=316910"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
