Bio
b. 21 Aug 1950 Poplar Bluff Hospital
At two weeks old moved to Jonesboro Arkansas so dad could attend college. He also had to work when he wasn't in class, so mom did his homework. I saw some of the projects later in life and she got A's on some pretty complicated assignments that required significant research to complete. She never finished school but dad often remarked that she was the smartest person he ever knew. I asked if he meant woman and he corrected me and said no! The smartest person he ever knew.
When he became ill and went into the PB hospital they treated him for a bad heart. He transferred to Southeast Missouri Hospital in Cape Girardeau and they said his heart was very strong. It was his lungs that were failing. He ended up on 23 liters per hour and they had to use liquid oxygen to accomplish that. Since I lived nearby and was self-employed I adjusted my schedule so I could spend most of the day with him and nights until bedtime. That time spent with him was the most satisfying time I ever knew with him. He died peacefully with his hand in mine. It felt as though some of him passed to me through our hands. Just before he passed he tried to recite the lord's prayer. That impressed on me how important his faith was to him.
