Andrew,
Your sons and I enjoyed a many a day in the driveway, playing in the sandbox, enjoy the life that was so simple back then. You were always there for us all. I really enjoyed growing up with you and your family as my neighbor. God Bless You, and May the Good Lord show you the Light that you shared with all of the community.

I really wish I would have known of his passing sooner, Papaw Duskie was very special to me. I'll never forget the memories...from searching for candy in his house, to the old truck he drove around, to the beach house where we played every summer. I don't go to Oak Island without thinking how fun my childhood was there. Great times, he will be missed.
