Mr Prator and his family were/are
wonderful people and always treated me great as a kid growing up! He took me and his Son to see my first Bob Dylan concert and I will always appreciate all they did!
He use to call me "Hat Man" as I wore a wool hat as a kid!
May Mr.Prator RIP along with his wife!
Hope all the rest of the Prators stay healthy and be blessed with the memories of a good father and a good man!
Ron, Lance, Traci and oh yeh.....
Vaughn....take care!
