Bobby, Billy and Brian and family. Our sincere condolences go out to all of you. Speedy will surely be missed. Every conversation I ever had with him ended in laughter. He had such a gift of wit and humor. Uncle Speedy was only one month older than me and was more like a cousin. I have so many great memories of trips to kentucky as a child and all the tricks he pulled on me. God Bless you all!

Billy, Bobby & Bryan! The world won't be the same without your dad. Although it seemed like we were a world away we loved him dearly and have so many wonderful memories of him. He was always a big kid at heart and I will never forget the summer vacations we spent in Kentucky "bugging" Uncle Speedy. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you.
