I have a lot of fun memories of visiting Grandpa at the farm. I will never forget his humming at the table, welcoming kisses, football or news playing on the TV, truck rides around the pasture, and much more. He was a man of much respect.

I was a Border Patrol Agent in New Orleans 1967 and 1968. I regret to hear of Mr. Cupp's passing. He was always a gentleman and very nice man to work for.

I remember well the good advise and training you gave to me when I reported to Yuma Border Patrol station as a new graduate from the Border Patrol Academy in 1954. Your help was a great asset to me through a 30 year career for which I am most grateful.
