I can't believe its been 12 years
I remember so many things, most that you'd probably have me forget but I wouldn't change anything... except not spending more time together.
You got married to Julie and had an unbelievable life. All those places and all those kids, I should've expected that. Even though we didnt live near each other I kept up through Richard.
I even got married too, well not the person I hoped it would be, but I heard she eventually found happiness and I'm glad for that.
Second time around I found a beautiful young French girl that was just mentally deranged enough to marry me and we've been together for 36 years. Roselyne knows more about you than some of your relatives do, I talked about old times as if they had happened yesterday. When I get started about late nite adventures to everywhere. Impromptu trips to Florida, Georgia, South & North Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky, through Illinois to Missouri so we could sell the car and ride the train home. The Florida & Mississippi storms and shrimp boat gets the most attention, and probably the most embellishment. People want to know when the book is coming out... FOREST GUMP 2
But you know all of that, I still talk to you about things almost everyday...
Bubba I miss a you a lot and I miss the old times a lot but I've got a lot. Wife that hasn't fed me anti freeze yet, a sweet daughter and three pretty wonderful grandchildren. It sure seems like this old age thing came up awfully quick but I can't complain. I haven't missed a birthday yet, hope you enjoy the cheap pink champagne not filtered through my kidneys as promised. I often wonder if I would have received unfiltered as well.
I LOVE YOU MAN and I'll see you in March!

I have lost my best friend, my dear beautiful brother Kenny. I want everyone to know that he was such a precious gift to all who knew him. Often I have wondered what my purpose in life is?,maybe some of you have to .I have come to the conclusion that my brother's purpose was to teach me how to live.. ..In all his suffering he lived each and every moment to the fullest.. there were so many times when we, his family did not think he could possibly go on another second and surely he would not make it through the night , however our HOLY FATHER gave us more wonderful, glorious TIME!!!,and KENNY LIVED... He asked me about a year ago if I wanted to go to Montana? He knew I had I always wanted to see the open plains and to go fishing in those beautiful streams that I have only viewed on the travel channel. I said Kenny ,"When are you going?" He said when Julie gets off for vacation,maybe two or three weeks .I said, "Well you know I want to go,I"ll think about it". Kenny was very sick at the time and I remember thinking well, he may not get to go on this trip.I was also keeping my grandchildren at the time and my chances of getting to go were slim,but I could still dream! During the next few weeks Kenny would call and ask me "Are you going with me?" I never really gave him an answer ,I realize now that I was trying not to let me are him down...One Thursday morning I called to check on Kenny like I often did,and there wasn't any answer at his house. In a panic,(many times I feared that he would die) I called my mother. "Mama , "Have you seen Kenny this morning?" She said "He and Julie left yesterdy for MONTANA ".I could not believe it, my brother had gone and left me. I quickly hung up and dailed his cell number. He answered in one or two rings,"Kenny ,Where are you?" "You left me!" He started laughing ,"I"m in Kansas on my way to Montana. I repeated ,but you left me. He said "I told you I was going (still laughing of course) and I replied, " but you left me." I could always make my brother laugh and boy did he laugh... Kenny called me several times during his trip and he would tell me of the beauty and of the many different kinds of foods he and Julie would eat along the way.He loved to eat and to cook ,you never went hungry at Kenny's house,nor did you lack for anything else.Kenny was a giver! I really can't remember how long Kenny and Julie stayed gone on their trip out West,but I do remember him telling me that when he arrived in Montana that he ate some kind of sandwich and turned right around and headed home,and we laughed...Kenny lived.....and I learned through his life how to!

My dear dad was admired by many and touched the lives and hearts of so many people. He mad an impact in alot of lives and now god needs him there in heaven. His work is done here and he is not suffering anymore .He loved everyone even if you were a homeless man walking down the street. He knew that you was just another piece of gods puzzle. So therefor if you needed food, clothes, money are anything he would give it to you but not before telling you how much jesus loves you.We will all miss him dearly and not a day will go by that he will not be remembered.
we love you daddy!!! We will see you in heaven have fun up there!

For almost 35 years I haven't been able to look at a roof, hear about a hurricane, watch two dogs running, or even think of a trip to Columbus, GA without thinking of you my friend... and never will.
Say "HI" to your daddy for me... I love ya.

I have counted very few men as true friends. Now one of the best has gone to be with the Best. The LORD rejoices in the death of His saints. Kenny has laid his burden down. Robert Hazmark Deville LA
