I had the greatest, sweetest grandfather ever! I will miss him dearly and can never thank him for everything that he did for me. I know that he met many people in his days, he never wanted to stay still, and told a few jokes.
Thank you to everyone who has sent well wishes to our family! We have been truely blessed to have such a great support system in our community!
I love you Papa and miss you already!
Angela, Steven and Kimberlynn Parker

I am deeply sorry for your loss. Mr. Martin was a sweet, gracious man. He always greeted me with a warm smile and then tried to fix me something to eat (I should mention that he was a great cook as well). He will be greatly missed and I will cherish the memories I have of him for ever. I love you all and you are in my thoughts and prayers.
