Miss Shirley, you Hook, and the kids were always like family to me and my family. Please accept our deepest and most sincere condolences and know we are grieving with y'all. Even though he was a wild one sometimes, he had a heart as big as the whole universe and would do what he could to help his family and fellow human. He always talked about when y'all first bought the house across the street and Nannie brought him and Anthony a glass of ice water because they were cleaning the yard and it was 100 degrees. Between that and him and grandpa running the dirt roads with barry standing up in the front seat between them I don't know which was his favorite memory. That's why y'all will always be part of our family. Love y'all and sending hugs! Traci, Rick, Barry, Ricky, and Cari from Fruitland Avenue. I hope y'all see this
