Our daddy was our hero
Our daddy was so strong.
He stood for what was right,
And knew when things were wrong.
Our Daddy was our leader,
On strings he taught us songs.
He's with us day and night,
Even though he's gone.
We talked of things that's come to pass,
He spoke of things to come,
He said there'll be a day
When his work on earth is done.
I didnt want to listen,
It was my biggest fear,
I sit behind this keyboard

You've gone home to glory
I know the trip was long
Waiting to see the ones you've lost
Now you are where you belong.
Tell everyone we send our love
And miss you all so much
Days are really empty now
Without your loving touch.
To all the children up in heaven
We never got to meet
Sing to them your "Papaw Song"
And bounce them on your knee.
Your sitting on the hand of God
I bet playing your guitar
Going on without you

I have lost the most kind-hearted man I have ever had the pleasure of knowing, my Daddy. Daddy, I miss you so much. You have meant the world to me. I could not have asked for a more loving and kind father. Daddy, you have been such an inspiration to me during my life. I will miss hearing your voice on the phone when I call home, you sitting in your favorite recliner watching Andy Griffith, hearing you sing the Pa Pa song to all the grandchildren. I could go on and on! Most of all, I...

I lost the dearest man in the world to me Sunday June 27th. My daddy, The Simple Man. A man of great integrity and wisdom, a man of many friends who loved him dearly, and he loved them all.Daddy,you would have been so proud.The chapel was full of your friends and family.But now you are in heaven. When I found out 3 weeks ago that you was going to die, my world crumbled. But I found the strength to take you and lay you at the foot of the cross. I prayed for Jesus to send the comforter to you...

Gail,
I am so sorry to hear about your father. I wanted to come and give you a great big hug but as you know we had a death in our family too. I just have to believe that we both have special angels watching over us now. I didn't know your father but he sounds like he was a wonderful father, husband, brother, and friend. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. May God bless you and give you strength during this difficult time.
