Not sure what to say?

This is a bit late, but I attended Mr. Fath's estate sale long ago. It was one of the most impressive libraries that I have ever seen in a marvelous building! It was such a delight to see. I walked through the neighborhood today in the rare Texas snow and remembered how impressive it was.

I apreciate what Mr Fath did and tried to do for this state and nation.My condolences to his survivors.

Aside from the dominant political bent to your fabulous life, I most admired your love of Thomas Hart Benton's lithos and have a signed copy of your book. I loved reading your notes and introduction and it gave me an insight into a wonderfully complicated and intelligent man that I regret having never met personally, although I feel I knew something of you from your writing. It was someone I thought I would like. Thank you, Sir.

You led the fight. Even in the difficult years, you never gave up. You were always on the side of the people. You will be missed greatly by those who knew you.

Creekmore was a special friend to me and my brother,James. I recall with joy the many times we would see each other at Anderson's Coffee and Creekmore would always greet me with "How are you doing young fellow?"We and many others will miss his wisdom and great sense of humor.

Texas is a richer place for Creekmore's activism, wit and decency. He will be missed.

Thank you for your thoughtful political stances and passionate support of Democratic candidates.
