1927 - 2009

My papaw passed away early in the morning of April 19th. He was on Hospice for two months, and we knew that unfortunately this day would come, but nothing ever prepares for the loss of someone so special and loved.

He was my mother's, (Gail authorID 30229),father, and the only grandparent that I had left, on either side. This has really rocked us, because he was foundation of our family and such an awesome inspiration to us all. He not only served this family well, he also served our country well. He served 2 years of active duty when he was 17 years old in the Navy in Korea. After being honorably discharged, he went back to High School, receiving a diploma, and then graduated college.

After his school years, he enlisted in the Army and served 4 years active duty, and that was during the years that my mother and my uncle were born. After his service in the Army, he finished out his career in the National Guard, retiring in 1990.

His work field, was a supervisor at the Reynold's Metals Company. Where he worked for 30 years retiring in 1996.

He was active in bowling and golfing, the majority of his life, until 2 years ago

Everyone that has ever met my papaw; loved him. He had no enemies, and was very blessed with a multitude of friends, that thought of him as family. He never met a person that he couldn't get along with, and was one of the best joke tellers I have ever met. He had a sparkle for life, and a light in his heart, so bright, that people were just drawn to him.

We as a family, feel blessed, that he was able to attend the 2007 Alabama get together, and was able to meet and make friends with many USMers. He told us, that every single person he met there, was very nice, and friendly to him, which he so much appreciated. He was looking forward to being able to attend this year's Alabama Get together, but now, he will be watching us all from above.

My grandfather, was more of a father to me, than my own father. I will miss him so much. We will miss him so much.

We love you Papaw. Thank you for blessing our lives

Thank you all for reading. Any prayers, thoughts, chants, or whatever your belief structure entails, is much appreciated for us during this time. Especially for my mom and my uncle.

*hugs* I love you all

Date: 4/20/2009 9:07:00 AM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 28190    Thank you so much, everyone, from the bottom of our hearts. Our hearts are breaking, and we really feel a void, but we do know that he is without pain now, and probably up there with my grandmother, smiling down on us all. It's very hard for me to even type this message, and was one of the hardest posts I've ever had to make. I'm sorry if it sounds choppy, I kept stopping to cry. I just hope it honors him, because he deserves the honor. He was really that special.

God, I miss him so much I know mom does too. She's trying to keep together right now, and handle everything, but I know she's just, there are no words, for how she feels, that adequately describe it.

Thank you, to each one of you. Ya'll are like family to me and mom. Ya'll have been there through just about everything we've gone through. I can't put into words how thankful we are to have such amazing friends. Hug your loved ones a little tighter, for us, tonight. I love you all, thank you.

*hugs*

~Amanda
