To know my Papaw was to love him. He was the best listener, always ready when you needed someone to talk to, and he gave the most wonderful advice. Papaw was steadfast in his faith, a pillar of strength and wisdom for our family. He loved his family and loved Granny wholeheartedly. He was witty, always ready with a clever remark or a joke. And oh, how he loved Skyline.

Papaw had a way of making everyone feel special and important. He had a gentle presence that brought comfort and peace to those around him. Whether he was sharing stories, offering guidance, or simply sitting quietly by your side, his presence was a gift. He taught us the importance of kindness, patience, faith, and love.

Papaw's life was a testament to the values he held dear—faith, family, and love. He showed us what it means to live a life of purpose and integrity. As we say goodbye, we celebrate the incredible man he was and the profound impact he had on all of us. His spirit will continue to guide us, and we will carry his love with us always.

I love you more - Samantha..
