    I've known you since I was a young child,and you knew my family before then. I will always remember you as larger than life and for all of your stories. You were an excellent conversationalist and a very devoted husband,father and grandfather. There aren't many out there like you and I was blessed to know you.Things won't be the same hearing you holler my name across the street( being my neighbor for more than ten years) to come talk to you. You will be so greatly missed but your pain in this life is over and you are in peace.Much love to all-Linda,Katrenia,Kristi,Jeff,Julia and little Makayla and Jake.
