He enjoyed hunting, fishing, gardening and backyard bar-b-ques, but his greatest joy was spending time with his grandchildren.

We will see Papa in every new bud and flower that blooms. We will hear his whispers in the wind and feel his smile on our cheeks as the sun shines on us and Papa watches over us. He will be missed deeply by this family and friends. The family extends a special thank you to Betty Ringer, Ryan Lee and the staff of Optimal Hospice. In lieu of flowers the family asks that donations be made to Bakersfield Optimal Hospice. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Return to Latimer County Archives: http://www.usgwarchives.net/ok/latimer/latimer.html
