From your daughters, Daddy: Thank you for the love and memories we have, the knowledge of where you are now and all that you have shared of your love of life and wisdom in living it well. You taught us so well how to treat others as we wanted to be treated, to never give up but to know there's always a way through any challenge, that love can be shown in so many different small ways, to love the things that God has made here, how to make something grow well in a garden, how to be patient and how to have a sense of humor about life. You did life well, and taught us how to do likewise! Thank you.
From your grandchildren: Thank you first of all for your abounding love and attention to EACH of us in a unique and special way. Thank you for teaching us to "respect our parents," for showing us how to build things and make traps, for teaching us how to swing on a grapevine in the woods, for your patience as we grew, and your pride in us as we got older, for listening to our hurting hearts as well as our celebrations, for your stories you told us and for all the wisdom you passed along. You set a grand example for us to follow. You were everything a Pepaw could possibly be and we all love you dearly.
From all of us: You were the anchor of our family....you were our hero!!!
