I have nothing but fond memories of Uncle Tubby. He was always happy (humming a tune) unless he was fussing at Aunt Daisy because it was "time to go!" She was never finished talking when he was ready to go home from an event. He gave me my first nickname as far as I know...Cojack :)
He always had a story to tell - usually about fishing; and I'm not sure what he loved the most: fishing or his sweets! I will always smile when I think of him and I hope the rest of his family will, too. I believe it's what he would have wanted...

My heart is broken at the news of the passing of one of the worlds kindest persons. His love for me was never ending and I am forever thankful for the time I was a part of his life. Ms. Daisy, love and light to you. Billy and Penny, may the memories of your Dad bring you joyful smiles and comfort. Heather, Christopher, Kayla, Sarah and Kimberly, hold close to your heart the love that your PawPaw gave to you all. Of all the things in life he loved the most, his Grand-children were at the top of the list. I love you all. God Speed.
