The very best classmate you could ask for.......great guy! Tennis yes, but he could put your lights out on the roundball court....as he did with me, more than once. RIP Pudge.

Hi Mary-Austin, I am so sorry to hear of your Dads passing. I pray you and your family will have peace and comfort during this difficult time. David and Rita Heatherly

Jane and Family,
We are deeply saddened by the news of Pudges death. I was a classmate of Pudge at Wofford and enjoyed his friendship. Our ranks are thinning. Like Richard Lowry, Charles Holley, and others, Pudge was one of the good guys. Our thoughts and prayers, in Christ, are with you all, during this time of sorrow.

Worked with Pudge at Milliken and EQM. Had some good times! Jane, Mary Austin, and Willie know that I am thinking of ya'll during this difficult time. Peace be with you and may he rest in peace.

I worked with Pudge at Milliken many years ago. Knew Jane and the girls. We had a lot of good times at Milliken. All the ladies in the photo worked with Pudge, as well in Human Resources (Personnel). Im on the far right standing. Jane, Im sending hugs and praying for the Tate family.
