My daddy, worked very hard in the mines at Eastover and Jericho mining Companies. He worked to support and raise his family of four kids and a wife after returning to Kentucky from Michigan. He drove a Scoop and Suttle Car and the guys on the inside nicknamed my dad "Shorty". I don't know all the guys he worked with but they know who they are. I miss him very much. 

Our dad attended Closplint Church of God on a regular basis, he was a great guitar player and with the Lords help he played very well. He played with Jay Sizemore, Dewey Goddard, Ruth Thomas, Nancy Stanton and Mary Posey, Bradley Doan and a few more that I can't recall their names.
