hey dad (bud),
i look back through the years and remember the time at one of my football games. i looked up and saw you standing on the sidelines it really made me feel great then as time went on we had hit and miss contact through the years i know you had your life to live and i had mine. i remember the times we used to meet out at eaglecreek lookout when you were on this side of town i enjoyed all the talks we had and catching up on each others lives then after that we didnt get together except for a phone call here and there then i heard later on your health was getting bad i made up my mind that i had to come and see you and help you as much as i could and i am so glad i did. i got to know you again and it was great you got to meet your grandson even though your health was bad kyle and i, enjoyed the last year we had with you we enjoyed going out to eat with you and all the driving around, i know you really enjoyed that and i am so sorry we didnt get the chance to take you back home to see the mountains in you hometown in west Virginia and were so glad your not suffering anymore. i did the best i could to make you comfortable and im sorry if you ever thought it wasnt enough. we love you more than you know and always will, i know you love skipper more than anything, dont worry he will be fine. get some rest bud
love your son and grandson Earl and Kyle

Bunk, We all love you and you will be greatly missed by your family and friends
I remember our boating trip to Lake Monroe as a child and how much fun we all had. Mom thought for sure she would never see you again when you fell overboard. Lol... it was a bad storm and kinda scary. Love, Delma Ann.
