One our fondest memories of Daddy was when grace was being said, which began with “Lord make us true and thankful” and ended with “for His namesake, Amen.”
Our Dad was an avid fisherman, coon hunter and gardener, hobbies he enjoyed so much; Our Daddy will be sorely missed. Dad was loved most by those who knew him best.
On a happy note, Daddy’s favorite saying at the end of a conversation was, “Well, that’s it then.”
