I smile each time I remember Uncle Pud. All 3 Haskins sons served in the military, and we (Sam Jr's) family had two tours where we were relatively close in proximity; San Antonio and England. Were able to see more of Pud and Aunt Jo's crew. Love to the family and prayers for them as well. I'm happy that all of Sam (Sr) and Ruth's children are reunited.

Dad- Oh the memories that have just come flooding back... You were so good to us. Garrett and Peyton were so lucky to have a grandpa like you! You taught them many things and vacation just wasn't vacation without them(BIG SMILE). You loved the Lord and Mom so much. She was your queen. I am sad that you aren't here anymore for Mom but am glad you are no longer suffering. You fought hard! I'll cherish the memories and can't wait to see you again someday. I love you.

Curtis(Hutch) was someone who never met a friend. His smile&laughter was very contaigious. I had the pleasure of working w/him @Engineers, along with the other "guys". He was always willing to share his vast information about work and willingly help in anyway he could. I will always remember him with fondness, working with him and being a friend. My love to Jo, knowing you has been dear.
