    We are saddened at your loss. Just know he will keep someone in line up there…or not, both of them are rascals. Our sympathy and prayers are with you all at this time. Angel wings, and Halo for him! Maybe a tiny set of horns.
    All our Love and Hugs!

    So many memories!!! We all know what a great husband, father, grandfather, great grandfather he has always been but I alone can speak on a brother role for him. He was beside being my brother he was my friend from the day I was born. I cherish my memories of growing up with him. I don’t ever remember being mad at him or he with me. Even when I was the little sister pain he had to take with him on Sat mornings to River Park Theater.
