I appreciate all the kind words and offers of condolences since my Papaw went Home.
I never heard him tell a joke, but he always had a certain wit about him. He used to tell people to look at his dog, a particular black Lab if I remember, and say “now tell me if that dog doesn’t look just like Burt Reynolds?” I believe he actually thought it did. I never saw the resemblance aside from the mustache and dark hair.
He had a way with people too. Even though he was a little old feeble man he still had the strength to lift you up when you needed it. He was a good man who left a legacy of an actual good Christian example and all that entails. His light shone 24/7.
Things I do my best to emulate.
Hundreds came to pay their respects, quite a statement in a rural Alabama county of only a few thousand.
He’ll be missed.
