I would love to share a few memories about my Uncle Willie C, he loved to talk to you about going in the service, or college, we were also at a family reunion our last big one in Troy Alabama, and Uncle C had on a straw hat with a toothpick in his mouth, with a floor fan outside in the yard,The funniest thing in the world to me, my brother and I still laugh and joke about that visual of being country.

I love you Uncle C. You will always be in my heart and I’ll never forget that if we get out of line that you’re going to, “bring smoke” on us.

A blessing that brings me comfort and a that you are reuniting with so many family members. Hug them all for us.
