My Grandfather was the kindest, gentlest man I have ever known. All anyone had to do was was know him to love him. I look back on all the moments I have shared with him over the years and I can't help but feel so blessed to have had this wonderful man in my life to love and care for me.

Gail, Tracy, Theresa and Todd, I loved your Daddy so very much, and your Moma as well. I lost my Daddy when I was 26. I've always looked up to your Dad and knew I could go to he and your dear Moma for spiritual advice or when I just needed a little help to "take the next step". I can't tell you the times when they would come to the Church Office for a visit .... I always had a box of Kleenex, and knew to set it out when they were coming because we would all wind up crying before the visit ended. Those are moments I will treasure in my heart forever. I'm so sorry for your (our) loss, but I know without a shadow of doubt that he is totally healed and walking on the streets of gold. I believe he would say to us, press on toward the mark, don't give up, keep God first in our lives and he will see us again some day. I love you all and you are in my prayers. His passing is truly our loss and Heaven's gain

My dad has been an amazing father to me. Daddy has been my hero. When I was younger I used to ask God for a husband like my daddy. My dad has always shown amazing love to my mom and all of us children. Many times in my life daddy has shown his silly side like when my dear friend Linda White came to visit the very first time at the house my daddy and I ended up wrestling in the floor totally embarrassing my mom. Linda just laughed because it made her feel like she was at home and part of the family. Daddy and mom has always opened their home to many many people to come and share a meal as well as sharing the love of God with them. Never have I seen such amazing examples of unconditional love like my parents have shown. I can only hope that I show that same love to people that I encounter. 
Just recently we was talking and laughing about one time that I was in a car accident while in college. I called my daddy of course to come to my rescue. He told me he was on his way to come and get me of course. Daddy called mom and told her that I had been in an accident and mom told dad to come and get her. My dad responded to her no I am going to get Tracy and we will see you when I get back. To this day mom has not forgiven him for leaving her behind. Whenever I needed help I have always called on my daddy to help me with everything. It has been my joy and pleasure to say that I have always felt loved and cared for no matter what by my daddy. On Christmas Eve morning I woke up and felt like I needed to call daddy, so I did and we had a wonderful conversation. Daddy told me how much he loved and missed my mom. He really was so concerned that she be taken care of while she was in the hospital and rehab. Dad was also so glad that he had gotten to see her and talk to her while she was in st. Elizabeth hospital with her. It meant the world to him that my brother Todd took him down to see mom in the hospital. I had told dad that I was not going to be able to come to Texas until mid January, and he said he understood. Dad then told me that if he did not see me then he would meet me in the air. Dad and I was always been close and it has always been a joy to be able to sneak away at least once a week and eat lunch with just me and daddy while I lived in Corpus Christi with mom and dad. I could always talk to my dad for advice about anything. The angels in heaven have welcomed daddy and are rejoicing with him coming home.
