So sorry to hear about my cousin Hugh's passing. Wanda, the children and grandchildren have our sympathy. My dad, Hugh's 96 year old uncle Basil Lyon, told me a story about Hugh today. He said that Hugh had a rental house and the bath tub fell through the floor, so when he went to check out the damage he told the renter "Well now you have a sunken tub!" Daddy said he always thought that was such a clever remark, he still chuckled over it again today.

Pop Mattingly was like a Dad to me. His words and wisdom helped me grow into the man I am today. The family accepted me as one of their own and I will never forget the love and friendship that was extended to me. I am at a loss but know Pop is now teaching the angels about golf, WILDCAT sports and frog gigging. Love you Pop.Mike Korb
