I remember when we were kids growing up. You were the adventurous one. No to you was, I’m doing this because I want to see if I can. The four kids would have to walk to church. About halfway there you would go your way and meet up with us girls on the way home. You were really good at wood stuff. That was a talent. You were never one to sit around so it must have been hard the last few years of your life. You were a great Uncle to your nieces and nephews and for that I am grateful. Safe journey and God Bless.
