My Dad was always the first one to help with burial cost in the event that no insurance was the case. Now we find ourselves in need of the kindness he showed all his life.

I will never forget how he became RatDaddy, nor the look on his face when he held both of his grandbabies. He would always say to Tiff, come here Grand Daddy's Rat. Well she couldn't talk, but as soon as she started talking, he became Rat Daddy! That look when she called him Rat Daddy was unforgettable! It stuck with him! Both grandbabies (Tiffanii & James) called him Rat Daddy!

The Best Daddy Ever!
So many stories to tell, but one that stands out is one that happened on percy priest Lake. He pulled up by a boat that had the biggest engine on it, and shot the largest rooster tail, and started a conversation with the driver. It soon turned into a 300 dollar bet that they couldn't sling, his daughter "me" off a intertube. Oh glory? I knew I'd better hold on for dear life! Needless to say...he won that bet. He was always spur of the moment, and you never knew where he was going, but you could always bank on a fun time! I will love him forever and miss him each second of the day.
