After college, Tiny served in the United States Army.

Patti and family,
I'm very sorry to hear of your loss. Tiny was a neat guy and a friend that I will never forget. We always had a good time kidding around with each other when we'd get together at my shop or at his. You will all be in my prayers.

Your life truly touched others. Without you I wouldn't have known what it was to have a father. Thank you for loving me. I miss you everyday. Your "little man" misses his papa just as much. I look forward to the day we can all be together again.
