He always made me laugh. I knew he was a busy man but he took me and his son Andy to Memphis on my first road trip. It's one very special trip I will never forget. Love you Uncle Ewell!

When thinking of Ewell and the many contributions he made to the betterment of others, perhaps Matthew 25:23 describes his life best: "Well done My Good and Faithful Servant."
