I hear Uncle T.C. singing "Mockingbird Hill" in the early morning times after spending the night at "the Mansion". What a wonderful man he was! Those fishing sprees when the family would gather in April at Granny's house are some of my fondest memories as a child. The truth is I don't believe I ever beat him in a game of 42! So many memories of a Godly man...may all of his family find God's comfort at this time...

I was saddened to read of the passing of T.C. We were in high school at the same time at Woden and I have seen him many times since at reunions. My condolences to family and other friends.
