How do you sum up a man’s life in a paragraph? He was instantly loved by anyone that met him. He was a rock, a pillar to his family. A son of a sharecropper, a self-made man, and the most positive man on this earth. What a gift! To be positive in any circumstance. A quiet man that could say that one sentence that made sense. He was a devoted husband, father, and grandfather that will be missed beyond measure.
The family will gather for a graveside service to honor his love, devotion, and gentle soul.
