He was the happiest person I knew. I will always remember his detication to anything and everything in his life. He read the bible everyday. He knew who he would see and where he was going everyday. His smile always gave him a perfect first, last and anywhere in between impression. I love him always and I'll never forget the saturday mornings I spent with him. -His Great Grandson Parker
