Mark, Eddie and Jerri, I am so sorry about Uncle AC. He was such a good man! He was our only connection to the Autrey side of the family for most of my life. We always enjoyed him and Aunt Dollie's visiting. He was so humorous--but stern. :>) I am so glad I got to see him a couple of weeks ago at Linda's. He was so funny giving his little speech like a politician before he left. My thoughts and Prayers are with you all during this time of loss. May God bless you all with peace beyond all understanding. Love to you all! I forgot to sign my name the first time i posted this. Sorry. Jeff and Sharon Autrey Spears.

It was so nice to see Uncle AC at the Bar-B-Q in Clanton last week. He was so full of life, laughing and joking as he always did. It is hard to believe that he is no longer with us. He will always live on in our hearts. Sandra always spoke fondly of Uncle AC and Aunt Molly, and remembers all the good times spent with them when she was growing up. He reminded her so much of her Dad, S.K. Autrey. He will truely be missed..... With all our Love, Wayne Vickers and Sandra Autrey.

Mark, Eddie and Jerri, My deepest sympathy for the loss of your father. AC was such a good man. Even though I married in to the Autrey family, AC and Madell always treated me like family. I could always count on AC for a laugh. I will always be thankful that he tried to get the family together for reunions and other occasions. He has been a big part of my life and I will miss him terribly. I know he is in Gods arms now and back with the love of his life, your mother.
