I can only offer my sincerest condolences to the Pugh family for your loss. When I return to Cleveland, MS, to visit, I look for the huge oak tree that was in the Pugh front yard. One time in later years, I did find John at a cattle auction in Canton. We didn't talk much, he was so concentrating on the auction. Doesn't matter now. May he Rest In Peace and perpetuity, sitting and talking with Jesus.
