Lee , Logan , David , Donnie, Your dad was always good to me, Being with you and your family is part of my furtherest memories of growing up.
I remember being in Ronoake Rapids, and the big house next to the elementary school in Sparta. There was always something to do with four boys around. Your Dad helped my Dad get things done when they were building houses,without your Dads input that would have been impossible.
Dad always had every confidence in Harry (Karo) McCall.

Lee, I am terribly sorry for your loss. Your father sounds to have been quite a man, including a veteran as is my father. Having lost my mother a few years back and having been lost without the help of the wonderful people of Hospice in her care especially through the final days, I share your appreciation for their unending support. I hope you know he is finally at peace and with his loving Lord. May God also be there now for you and your family to guide you in the coming days. My sincerest condolences. Sabrina Lightfoot, Franklinton, NC.
