Uncle Blue Boy will be greatly missed by many. Terry Tarry

My dad exemplified what a true man should be. He walked the life of love, sharing,caring and helping people as much as he can. He was a yes man. We shared our dad with so many people. He left us in disbelief, dad its still hard to believe you are not here physically. But the memories and great times our family have of you will live on. I thank God for the most amazing dad that a daughter could ask for. You are perfect in my eyes. God gave you 82 years to complete your assignment...well done daddy. I will always celebrate you, I love you more!
Blueboy always had a smile and a kind word to share. I will definitely miss his presence. Antoinette Ball
