Girls: I am so sorry for your loss. Smokie was one great guy and had so many kind qualities. He and my husband, Ray were great friends along with Carol and we had some wonderful times together. They came to Knoxville many times to visit and we always enjoyed their company. May you all find peace in remembering your Dad, and all the fun times together. You will be in my prayers.

Cheryl, I am so sorry for your loss. The loss of a mother and father so close together is a lot. Your daddy was a very special person. His holiday cakes and pies will always be remembered from the good old days when you would bring some to work. He was a very sweet man. I know your parents will be greatly missed. You and your family will be in our prayers.
