RIP poppa so many child hood memories like playing in the gully and capturing snakes going to the willow pond and getting shot at going to the park and swim until we get tired. We would eat at the snack bar and then dance until there was no grass on the ground. We would shot marbles spin tops play peg with a stake knife and play cards for a penny about thirteen players. We try to go in blues paradise but we wasn't old enough. We then just ordered fry chicken from Batiste. I can go on and on all you did was made us laugh. My mom loved when you would help my brother clean the stove top. One thing I can say about you, you don't owe the world nothing, get your rest PAPA.

May peace and comfort be with you and your family at this difficult time. Sheriff bobby J Guidroz
