Ed, Ron, Deb and Gene I’m sorry to hear about your Dad passing. He was the best hayride driver ever….not his fault Ricky Banks fell off and got ran over by the wagon! I don’t think Ricky felt it anyway, he got up and climbed back on. Many great campfires too. How fast the years roll by, but those memories last a life time and beyond. Your Dad and Mom had a good life here on Earth, now they’re together with our Lord for eternity. I hope this brings you peace. Take care.

Am very sorry for your loss. In looking at his pictures he reminds me of the actor, the late Walter Brennan. I didn’t know him, nor have I ever met him, but am sure he had the good sense of humor that his sister Nyla Merrill has. Hugs to family and friends.

Sorry for the families loss. He was always a joy to talk to. He sure enjoyed his cabin in the woods.
