We hold the highest respect for this man. Always enjoyed his stops by our ranch as it involved some very sincere thoughts and visits. He and Wilma were fine examples to all and will truly be missed.
Dear Nancy, Barb and Tim, I am sorry for the loss of your Dad. I remember him as a quiet, kind man and I pray you all will fill the emptiness in your hearts with the good memories of your dad. God be with you all. Bobbie
