Dee Ann's memories:

Daddy was a hard working man he provided very well for us. I could always tell what color paint he used that day, when he came to the dinner table, by the specks of paint on the rim of his ears. There were times I went on jobs with him I was his gopher. I got my work ethecs from him, he always said a job worth doing deserved your best. Daddy always took us to Tennessee to see his parents. He told us many stories of his growing up on the farm, and being there made those stories come alive. I think of Dyer as my second home. I thank my daddy for all the piano lessons he paid for and my love for all the hold hymns, which still give me great pleasure to play. I have 75 years of memories, far to many to write down. My favorite memory of daddy was when I was 6 years old. Daddy had to register with the Draft in Hutchinson, Kansas, my two sisters were sick, mother had to stay home with them, so Daddy took me with him on my first bus ride. I remember it was dark, Daddy took me by the hand, I remember thinking how big and strong his hands were. The bus was crowded and some people were standing, they all looked so sad, I asked Daddy "why are they sad"? He said "they are out of work" and he held my hand a little tighter as if to keep me safe. I will never forget the touch of my Daddy's hand.

Visitation will be Sunday, May 4th from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at the Bullock Colonial Chapel. Graveside services will be held at Crown Hill Cemetery Monday, May 5th at 11:00 a.m.
