"Listen to me good, now"...he would begin. "If you dip that chainsaw in the dirt, you gonna ruin the chain." Mr."D"and I spent many hours and days cutting, splitting and loading wood for our fireplaces. He was a hard worker and delegator/supervisor, encouraging both of us to get it done. He was a good family man with a loving wife and well bred children,especially a one Miss Gladys. We gonna miss Mr. "D" who sent up enough TIMBERS for his heavenly home. Rest in peace.
