Terry, So soory to read about your fathers death. Nice to know that you are back in the Franklin area. Norm and Burdell
Glenn and I visited often at the Caring Place when I was there visiting my mother in the room next to his. I enjoyed talking to him so much. I know that you will miss him.
Terry, I am very sorry about your loss. You may not remember me, I was a year behind you in school. I knew your dad from the Caring Place. Him and I would talk for hours about motorcycles, and I would show him pics of mine. He and my father Hilton Albert were friends and later became room mates at the Caring Place. I have told many of my friends in Houston about your dad and his love of his family and motorcycles. He will be fondly remembered by all.
