HE WAS AND ALWAYS HAS BEEN A HARD WORKER ALL HIS LIFE ... HE WAS A HUSBAND, FATHER,GRANDFATHER, A BROTHER .... THE KIND OF NEIGHBOR YOU WOULD WANT CAUSE HE MINDED HIS OWN BUSINESS !!! PA COULD BE A TOUGH COOKIE TO CRACK AT TIMES NEVER REALLY SHOWING MUCH EMOTION AT TIMES .... HOWEVER SAD BUT TRUE DURING HIS LAST FEW MONTHES I THINK WE ALL GOT THE CHANCE TO SEE THE SOFTER SIDE OF PA !! HE ENJOYED SOME OF THE SIMPLE THINGS IN LIFE .... CHEWING TOBACO ( I THINK WE ALL WERE GLAD TO SEE HIM LET THAT HABIT GO , LOL ) ICE CREAM ( STRAWBERRY TO BE INFACT ) HE LOVES BLACKBERRY JELLY...) PLANTING AND PICKING TOMATOES , AND ALSO CANNING THEM AS WELL .

HIS SUNDAY NEWSPAPER !! HE ENJOYED HIS BACON & EGGS AND COFFEE IN THE MORNING . JAW BACON .... MOLASSES ... BUTTERMILK . HANGING OUT DOWNSTAIRS DOING HIS OWN THING ... BURNING HIS FIREWOOD... WATCHING THE NEWS ( THREE TIMES A DAY ON TIME ...AND 60 MINUTES EVERY SUNDAY ) SPORTS ... THE COLTS & NASCAR ( ONE OF MY FAVE MEMORIES WITH HIM IM SURE IT IS FOR UNCLE TIM AS WELL ) CHASING THE SQUIRRELS OUT OF HIS PEAR TREE ( OR PLAYING AROUND WITH OLE "" SQUAKY THE SQUIRREL "") I KNOW THE LIST COULD GO ON ....AND ON ..... AND WE ALL HAVE MEMORIES AND STORIES TO TELL OF HOW MUCH WE LOVED HIM , PA LIVED A GOOD LIFE ... HAD IT ROUGH HE WORKED VERY HARD FOR EVERY DOLLAR HE EVER MADE . RAISED 7 KIDS ALONG WITH NANNY ....
