My memories with Diane. Such a beautiful family. He will always be in my heart. God bless you all.
They say the road to Hell is paved with good intentions! I’ve put down a lot of road! I’m going to have on my tombstone “He was gonna ……” . I’ve been going to get in touch with Cash for too many years.
Especially when he had the last problem, but one thing after another got in the way. Cash and I go back to 14th St Elementary School. Many memories! We were classmates till he found out that he could make a living working with wood. He has done work for me and we had a lot of good conversations!. I had a problem when I found out that he was making crates for the Joy, what with all his talent! He was a nice guy and I feel lucky that I knew him.
My sympathies to the family. He is out of his miseries and he will be well remembered!

So very sorry for your family’s loss. I remember my father speaking highly of his work as their paths crossed in the construction/roofing business. May your many fond memories help you through this time.
Remembering your wonderful father and wishing you comfort and peace.
