his stay in the hospital for the last month.  He friend and stepson, Rick, and
his family were there during the last two nights.

winter you would find them somewhere fishing, laughing and telling stories.  He
also loved hunting and fishing with his grandson, Rickey.  The three were very
close.  He loved playing euchre with Rose and John Snyder, Carmen and Bruce,
Rick and Rickey and niece Murlene.

Polly married Ada June Jones on Oct. 15, 1996.  He is survived by his wife, Ada;

and Lee; brother-in-law William O’Bryant; nephews Arnold Carter and Douglas
Badder; and niece Judy Ott.
