My best friend. Pappy was a strong, stubborn man. He knew what he wanted in life, and he also knew his love for Jesus and made sure to share it with everyone. He loved hard, and he cared so much. Pappy lived a good life, and I know he’s up there having the time of his life. I love you pappy, rest easy.

Alan, you were a terrific father-in-law. You were like a second father to me. I will miss your quirky sense of humor, and the care and love you had for Betty. May you rejoice in Heaven.
