I had the privilege of being a team mate with "H" for 5 years. I always admired his humor and his competitive spirit. He will sadly be missed on the ball field and in life, but always remembered with joy and a smile.

Dear Sandy, Crystal and Family,
My deepest sympathy to you all. I have such fond memories of playing softball on the VA team with you both and Farmer let me know "fingernails" had no place on the field, lol...from then on I became a pro baller!!! Farmers humor will be greatly missed! May your memories bring you comfort as they have me. God Bless you all.
