Thank you for teaching me how to be a southern gentleman, Papa. Thank you for raising such a wonderful son and having that son raise me. You will forever weigh heavy in my heart but, the pain is gone and you're in a place now that's so great, it's beyond comparison. Make sure you say hey to Meme for me. I'm sure she missed you too. I love you, Henry Clay Walters, and there will not be a day that goes by that you won't cross my mind.
Rest in peace.

The most generous, loving, honest, gentle, soft spoken man there ever was. He taught me so many things these past 30 years that I will always remember and have used in my life. Henry Clay Walters was a giant among men. We will miss him immensely. We love you
