My father was the best man I've ever known and my best friend and the greatest gift of a substitute father I could have ever given my son. I miss him every minute of every day. I want to thank everyone who came out to the service and reception. We were grateful for your presence and your kind words in the guest book.

Thanks
Debbie (Daughter)

You were a friend for over 54 years. Although we never got together much during the past few years, I missed the time with you and Rhett Stewart. You were a great friend to anyone in need and you made many sacrifices. Now rest in peace and say hello to our many friends. Love and condolences to Lois and family.
