Paw-Paw...the world without you...man. Condolences to the entire family, to Heather and Marty, our blessings are sent. To Paw-Paw, man, I hope your smiling upstairs. The house will be different without you. You not around in your favorite chair while in front of the TV, you will be missed dearly. The talks we had when I came by for a visit with my homie-Marty-Mar, about news, sports, Hampton...and family, they were good, they were good. I salute you Paw-Paw, a good man, good fella yout were. I appreciate the time I got to know you and be around you. Man, sad that you are gone, but always know you are in a better place, where your pain is no longer.

Going miss Paw Paw, house is going to feel a little empty without him when i visit. Loved listening to his stories and him yell at the TV, treated me like family from the word go. Helped raise a great friend and brother of mine and Lord knows he had to had the patience of a saint with Marty but he turned out all right so whatever Paw Paw helped do it worked. Thinking of the whole family right now, even the ones i haven't met. Listing myself as family because I'm sure Paw Paw wouldn't of had it any other way.

I was lucky enough to get to meet "Paw-Paw" just a few years ago. He was a kind, gentle soul with a great sense of humor. I know he will be missed greatly by both friends and family. Rest in peace sweet man. I will never forget you!
