You was the greatest man in my life. You was more than a Grandfather you was MY DAD. I will always remember our trips to Ky and stopping at that truck stop where you would try to “sell” me to pay for our meals. I always knew you was kidding. You taught me about love and respect. and how to honor ones family! I cant say i dont want you back because I would love to swing on the porch swing with you and grandma again! The memories will help me until I come home to be with you again! I love you so very much Papaw!
