The family will receive friends from 12-1, Thursday, March 8, 2018, at Currie-Jefferson Funeral Home, Hwy 150 in Hoover. Following the visitation, Marge Roate will officiate a brief graveside service at 1 PM in Jefferson Memorial Gardens, South.
Such a handsome man...our oldest cousin...I remember meeting his three sweet girls... wish there had been more times together. Best wishes to you all in this time of loss.

Sweet cousins I am so sorry for your loss. I remember the first time I saw your Dad -- he was the tallest man I had ever seen. My heart goes out to you. Kelly
