My sympathy to your family in the loss of your beloved father. I will always remember him sitting on the porch, surrounded by his beagles, and all of the delicious vegetables he shared. He was a wonderful person and his legacy lives on in his loving and caring family.

My thoughts and Prayers go out to all, I know you will miss your daddy! I know he is with his Father now and having the time of his life. He was a wonderful Uncle to me and I'll never forget the TV ballgames it always amazed me how he knew all the players on both teams and he and Paulette would laugh, holler and cheer them on, and the ones down by the railroad tracks. I never saw him that he didn't have a Smile on his Face and the Love he had for his dogs. He will be missed by all that knew him. May God be with you and bless all at this time.
