I enjoyed visiting Mr. Rankin and loved his stories about the riverboat life in Kentucky. He seemed to always have a smile and that little chuckle of a laugh he had would warm my heart. When he talked about his life and family, his eyes would sparkle. It was obvious he had enjoyed his life and was proud of his family. My prayers to his family and friends. I know this great man will be missed tremendously by many.
