Sorry to hear of Junior's passing. Watching the memorial video sure brought back a lot of memories of Ruth, Paulette, Terry, Mark and Crickett,Junior and times on the river, and the farm. People grow apart in their own lives, but memories last forever. My condolences Bruce.

Bruce and Brenda and family. So sorry for the loss. Prater, as I always referred to him, had been a friend and coworker for 48 years. I will miss his friendship. May God hold you in his embrace during this sad time.
