I know it's been several years since his passing, but I remember Mr. Stovall when I was a little girl. My Great-Aunt Francis worked with him at the hardware store. I would always love going into the store, hanging out with them whenever I was visiting my Great-Aunt and always hanging around the storefront during the parkland festival. Having all those memories, I was saddened when I learned that the hardware store was no longer there and now finding out that Mr.Stovall has passed. May he be resting in peace.
