He Never Got the Father of the Year Award but He sure was the Apple of My Eye .

He Loved People and it Showed. He was a lot of Fun to be with . He just didn't Know How to be a Husband and a Father.
He had a Hard Life as a Boy Growing up.
He was a Hard Worker and Loved by Everyone who Knew Him. He never Met a Stranger That he didn't Make friends With. He was a buddy to Everyone
He would Give you the Shirt of His Back.
Shelby Ray is Just Like Him He Was a Buddy to Daddy and a Son After Shelby Got Grown they were Running Buddies.
As they say 2 Peas in a Pod.
He helped Aunt Bootie Ivey and the Grand Kids alot.
He went to the Dump and got Old Bikes and Repaired them and Painted them to Give to Doug Ivey i think it was and i think another one of them also.
Daddy could rig up anything and make it work.
I remember he rigged up a telephone one time from Dave's House To Glady's House so when they wanted to talk they could. Well all the Boys took after Him in that way. My Daddy was a Very Neat Person and a Good Looking Man.
I remember one time Him and i was coming home from Grandmaws in Leesville ,Texas and there was some Old Black Man he knew and Daddy told me Sister put you hand flat of the seat and keep them against him and me touching Both of us and watch this I gonna Give Him a Ride of His Life
He Will Never Forget I told Him Daddy Please don't Hurt Him He May Kill Us.
He Laughed and said No Sister He is a Good Man I said Maybe Not For Long.
Daddy Said i Know Him Well He is a Friend.
well Daddy had aHot Seat Rigged up in his Old Model T or Model A Ford I don't know the difference it had a Old Rummble Seat in Back.
Daddy was real long Legged He had a big Black Button on the Stearing Wheel and when he Hit it would Shock the two on the outside .
That poor Old Black Man was Screaming Mr.Rhoades You seat is Biten me, oh Mr.Rhoades, if i ever get out this car i will never ride with you again
all Daddy could do is Laugh.
But they were long time Friends .

Full of Life Till Cancer struck Him.
