To my old friend and mentor for many years, "Tap-root", you will be missed. My earliest memory of RA, being able to hear him, coming up the road on that 9600 FORD tractor even before you could see him. All the hunts, you teaching me how to prep the kills and those Monday night dinners will never be forgotten.. Good-bye old friend!!!

I am going to really miss you, RA. That dry sense of humor will never be matched by anyone. We love you very much. I know you are drinking Sundrop in Heaven! Ava & Isabelle still are saying prayers for you - only now they are asking that you are having a good time in Heaven. We know you are. Love you - Jeff, April, Ava, Isabelle, & Seth
