Cindy, Nancy & Butch,
I was sorry to learn of your father’s passing. Though a number of years have passed since our C. B. radio gang used to hang out, I always remember those days fondly. One memory I have of your dad is him laying on a lounge chair with a hat covering his eyes and J. C. (Frog) decided to toss a firecracker over in your dad’s direction to wake him up. We thought he’d be startled and chase us. Instead he simply lifted his hat, looked our way as he shook his head then put the hat back over his eyes as if to let us know It hadn’t phased him in the least. May fond memories of your dad bring you comfort.

Nancy, Butch and Cindy,
I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I have many fond memories of your Mom and Dad, and of being your baby sitter. your Mom helped me to learn to drive and I will always the time I went to a demolition derby with Butch and your Dad. I often think of those fun times.
I know your Dad will be missed so much, and he will always be in your thoughts, as my father is always in mine.
my prayers are with your families during this time.
Love you all
