Such a great man. I have known Big Travis most of my life. My latest memories were of him as Santa for our Crawford Breakfasts with Santa. So many pictures with so many happy kids on his knee and Mrs Clause (Mrs. Nancy) right next to him. Always great to be around. He will be missed. Praying for the family! Rest in Peace!
