Who cares where I worked? I am survived by my great friend, lover and wife, Pamela; Three great kids; Brian (Deb), Shantyl (Adam), and Joshua; two grandkids, Catie and Coleman; two sisters, Deb (Frank) and Nikki (Chris) and brother, Charlie. I was preceded in death by my parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins and Pee Wee. I loved to boat and fish. I will miss going to Table Rock Lake. Oh, wait! I can go any time now! No driving, gas, place to stay, no money to worry about…how fantastic! How could I forget my other kids, the four legged ones, Maggie, Max and Dolly. Well, that’s about it. Party hardy---have a lot of fun. No crying---just a lot of laughter, music, card playing, food and drink. Love you, see ya, bye! I’m out of here!
