I first met Mr. McCoy "Pee Paw" last month. The love he had for his family and his sweet wife Jenny was unimaginable. I will never forget him or his lovely family. There was never a dull moment with Pee Paw, he was hilarious and quite a character. My thought and prayers are with you all.

Forever grateful for his kindness-he planted about 15 cast iron plants in my yard and I thought I lost them in hard freeze we had a couple years ago but lo and behold they came back-we May think he is gone but lo and behold we will see everyone again as promised!
