A legacy

May 24, 1923...this sweetheart of a man was born...

He was raised on the farm...

He loved sports, playing basketball for Trinity University...

He was a member of the Merchant Marines from 1942-47...
Then he met the love of his life... JoAnn...On December 31, 1951, he sent this 'check' to ...
Now how sweet is this?

I can't speak for all his sons, but I know the kindness, the gentleness, and the love of this man, certainly made an impact on his middle son, my guy...

and for that, I'm eternally grateful.

December 18, 2008, he left us... we're incredibly saddened, but we're all better from the impact, from the legacy, he left on each of us.
