If there was one thing Papaw loved more than his cup of coffee and jar of peanut butter, it was his family. His love for Nana was one of a kind, one love that will never fade away. With that love came some of his greatest blessings, his children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. As his family grew and the house got fuller, he made sure everyone had a seat, as long as it was not in his chair. No matter the gathering, Papaw always made sure to stop and give thanks to God for the family with which he was blessed.
