I know you all miss him dearly. So many memories of the past 22 plus years. We lost touch after Pixie and Ms Adams passed away but I always remember the times sitting in the kitchen with all of them and discussing the daily affairs. God bless them all.
He was a great man I have many childhood memories with him. I’m so sorry Uncle Tim and family.
May you find peace in all of the wonderful memories and cherished joys you had with this special dad/grandfather/great. Many blessings and heartfelt thoughts. Fred and Dana Burns
