Grandaddy, although we lived so far away, we still felt very close. I have many happy childhood memories of swimming in the lake behind your Georgia home and exploring in the woods. I remember my sister Terrie, as a baby, biting into the plastic fruit Grandma kept on the kitchen table. I can still see the tiny teeth marks on the apple! We loved visiting you in Jackson, also. You would always have some type of homemade toy or your famous "hillbilly" wallet to show us! We are all truly blessed to have known you! You were such a kind and gentle man. We will miss you greatly. Tell Grandma we said "Hi"!
