Sorry for your loss Mary and family. Gordon was a pleasure to be around. I enjoyed the short time I got to be around him. I'm going to miss him doing deer and hogs for me. Danny & Judy Latham

Nanny, Pati, Angela, and Family.
We were so sorry to hear of Papaws passing. He was a great man and we loved him very much. We will never foget that wonderful smirk he would have when he would tell a hunting or fishing story, almost like he was living that moment again. Our heart breaks that he is no longer here, but rejoices in our faith that one day we will see him again. Heaven definitely got a very handy Angel this week.
