Hey Mrs. Praytor....thankyou for calling my Dad (Bill Tipton) to let him know of Mr. Praytor's passing......I was sorry to hear, as I still think of you all, as I last saw you in the early 70's. Dad has some great stories of your great times together.....even some stories about your trips to Las Vegas. Looked at the photo's.....you have a beautiful family, of course I remember Larry, Linda and Keith as just kids. Our condolences and thoughts....Cyndy and my Dad, Bill.
