When I think of the things you and mom did for us when we were kids, wow! I wouldn't be the person I am today without all the fun experiences and support. I know now how hard it is to be a father and a husband and it makes me respect you even more. I just wish you where were still here to talk to. I love you Dad!

When our granddaughter was young and we would be traveling in the car he would make up stories and considered developing them into a children's book.

However, it was all fiction and he was afraid children would believe them. One such story was how panty hose came to be invented.  Another was about turtles.  Another was how azaleas knew how to bloom all at the same time.  He had a great imagination.

He loved acting in DeSoto Little Theatre and had a fantastic memory that allowed him to remember long scripts.
