The Ashby kids have a very fond memory of our uncle. For those of you who do not know, he composed a song entitled "The Garbage Truck" and would sing it at gatherings or upon request. It is a lifetime memory we will cherish in our hearts. Rest in peace. Lovingly your nieces (Yvonne Coates, Tammy Ashby, Tina Ashby and Sherry Shepperd)
