Barbara Oldfield
I am the ONLY Daughter in law Albert (RED) Oldfield had. I must say, most of the time he referred to me as "HON", I took this in a derogatory way for the longest, I didn't think he cared enough about me to even remember my name, then, as the years went on, I realized he called all three of his Daughters, and myself that. It wasn't an insult, but an honor.
He was a hard working man, never slowed down. I guess you could say he worked himself to his grave. He retired from ICX FREIGHTLINER in Dallas Texas. But, he didn't retire from working. He would often times get upset at my husband because he wouldn't get up before the sun did, and like he himself did, to start working. Oh, they did have their fighting moments for sure.
He couldn't see well at all, he was legally blind, but this did not stop him from reading his bible, granted, it was with a magnifying glass and a large halogen lamp, but, he read it. When he could no longer see well enough to read it, he listened to it on tapes. He knew his Bible, and it was not a strange event for him to argue with the sunday school teacher, or even the Preacher.
I just wanted to add this little bit about my Father in law, he was a good, kind hearted, hard working Christian. May he rest in peace! I love you Pop.
