My Uncle HT was my mother's (Doris) favorite brother. She was always so happy when in came to Missouri. I'm sure you all will miss him dearly. I believe that mom and my dad Jesse, along with Aunts Betty, Lois and Viv along with Uncle Budge were there to welcome him with open arms and a table ready to play pitch. Rest in peace dear Uncle.
