i will miss your dad alot, as he gave me lots of great childhood memories that i think about often. He loved to act like he was pulling money out from behind your ear or would be there eating his peanuts. Or the memories of him and my dad (lloyd) going shopping christmas eve and then bringing them home for me and Brenda to wrap quickly to get under his tree.

I love your dad. Your parents were special people in my life. Your dad taught me to steel potatoes from his garden. He also taught me about worms soup. I loved your dad. He loved pulling my leg. We are praying for you all. Love Thelia Finley

Hey, Pood- I'm so sorry to hear of your dad's passing. I never knew him, but I can tell by knowing you, and by the other entires that he was a great friend to many, and a good father. Find comfort in your family and the memories you cherish.

My uncle was one of the greatest men I have ever known. He was a great dad, husband and friend to all. He and my aunt Barbara raised children that anyone would love to call their own. My uncle loved his family dearly. The best memories I have of him are the pranks and jokes he played on the people he loved-----he was the king! We are going to miss him so much. I find comfort knowing he will be with his dear wife again. I truly love you uncle Man.

To the Coleman Family,
We will always remember the great times we had with your family. Camping, Fishing, Hunting and all the fun times in the neighborhood. I will never forget the first time Lloyd met your Dad on your front hillside. He asked Lloyd if he wanted to have a beer with him and that started the wonderful friendship. It was a pleasure to have neighbors like you. There will never be another like your Dad. Hugs, Lloyd & Elaine
