"Uncle Chubby", the first time I remember meeting you was at "DadRay's" farm. I was confused and called you "Daddy, Daddy", fifty years ago. The last time I was to meet you, I missed you. Sorry.



I look forward to seeing you in Heaven.



We send our deepest condolences to all. God has blessed us with knowing you and your family.
