Dear Joan, Peggy, Ellen, and Families.
Your dad's passing is the end of an era in Colbert. You would have to travel far and wide to find another man with your dad's qualities. When I bought my first farm, where I have now lived for fifty years, it might as well have been his! He helped and guided me through every imaginable challenge from plowing and planting to electrical and plumbing. He loaned me his tractor and baler, and when I bought my own first tractor he towed me from Greenbluff to his garage to replace the flywheel. When my main porch caved in, he taught me how to pour and finish concrete and then taught me how to castrate my calves. There was nothing he couldn't do or hadn't done, and he was generous with his advice and help.
You are in my heart and on my mind as you grieve his loss. My hope is that fond memories will sustain you as you adjust to life without him.
Love,
Paddy Inman
