"Pappy" as he was
affectionately called by his family and friends, was a friend to all he came in
contact with. From his childhood to his
last hour he always manifested a sunny character. His last years were spent listening to his
radio of which he got all the church services he was able to dial. His great ambition was to drink deeper from
the fountain of God's love, so when his master called, "It is enough, come
up higher," he could sing with the Angels his favorite hymns, "On Jordan's
Stormy Banks," and "Home At Last."
The events of his entire life can best
be eulogized in these few words of the poet.
He lived in the house by the
side of the road,
And was a friend of man.
Then shall I reach that
happy place
And be forever blest,
Then shall I see my Father's
face
And in His bosom rest.
