Hard to believe it's been ten years. We don't get to Caddo as often as we'd like these days, especially since both my cousins that lived on the lake have passed, too. But we were fortunate enough to be able to spend a couple of days on Taylor Island recently to introduce Bob's siblings and their spouses to the lake we hold so dearly. (We stayed in one of Dottie's cottages, and imagine our surprise (and delight) to walk in and discover a painted portrait over the mantel of none other than...Apple!!!) Aaron took us on a wonderful tour of the lake, and we can't be on Caddo without wonderful images and memories of Apple coming to mind. Caddo and Apple are synonymous. One of Caddo's true "colorful characters!" And he would be so proud of Aaron for the life he has carved, carrying on his dad's legacy and educating people on the wonder that is Caddo. Miss you, Friend! Love from Bob and Sharon Piechnik

Aaron, I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I haven't seen you for years but think of you often.

Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal.

Aaron A.-I am so sad that such a great man has gone on. He was such a big part of my childhood and I have many many great memories that I will cherish for the rest of my life.
