Sorry to hear about your Dad. I have fond memories of all of us when I came over to my uncle Hack and aunt Clara's house to see them and Jean. He was a fine man and you and your families will be in my thoughts and prayers.

The world will have a little less humor now, but the fish will be safer.
Many great memories of hundreds of visits to the barbershop. Thanks for serving us well for so many generations.
May the family find peace and comfort in James' heavenly reward and a lifetime of wonderful memories.
