TRIBUTE TO PAPAW

By great-granddaughter MacKenna Copeland, age 9 yrs.

He was a brother of four, a husband, a dad, a granddad, and a great-granddad and a blessing to the family. He loved to wood work. He spent a lot of time with his grandkids and great-grandkids. And he liked to travel in his motorhome and enjoy God's creation. He is loved very much and will be missed very much.
