Calvin Riley Payne III

best to all.

my condolences to your family Mr Payne you are the BBQ King! And you leave a legacy you will be missed.

I am saddened by your loss. We became "food friends" when we lived in Candleridge. He was a very humble and very nice man, surely to be missed.

So sorry for the family and friends loss. We are big fans of Cousin's, not just for the excellent food, but the friendly atmosphere. Thank you, Mr. Payne for a great business. When our location moved from 1709 to Heritage, we were sad. However, the new location is bigger and has indoor eating. We've never been treated like money, but rather like friends. Rest well and peaceful.

So sorry to hear of your loss..Your Dad was such a kind man .Prayers to the whole family.Nancy Dewitt Morrow and chilren

My prayers are with the family. Mr. Payne was a wonderful man and my family love eating at Cousin's because of the wonderful family atmosphere.

I always thought of Bootsie as Zayne Ann Payne's little brother. I rembember the day that Zayne Ann came to school and told us that there was a new baby at her house. Zayne Ann was a dear friend and her entire family was (and is) so wholesome and hospitable. She and Bootsie are certainly missed.

OUR PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU ALL.
CLIFF SORRY TO HEAR OF ABOUT CALVIN.
A CUSTOMER FOR MANY YEARS.

What a trip down memory lane for me reading all of these comments. I remember Boots and his family when they had a place in Lubbock in the late 1970s called Captain's Galley--great fried catfish!! A buddy and I would eat there 3 or 4 times a week. And when going through the line, visiting with Boots and his family would always make you feel very welcome and right at home. Restaurant owners could learn a lot from these guys.
