Pawpaw I wish you were still here so you could meet Carsyn, when he gets older he’s gonna know so much about you, I wish Carsyn had the opportunity to grow up with you and know you as “the gum man” we love you pawpaw.  

Dewey I love you like you was my real dad. I'm going to miss the days we picked at each other. How you use to call me flintstone. Tell me when I need to cut grass then say ah the grass is fine even though it was knee high. I'm going to miss you and it's going to be hard without you around but, day I will see you again.

My uncle Drewey a hard working man. He was a great husband to Barbara and his four children. Uncle Drewey had a hard life growing up but he overcame a lot to become the man he was. He was loved by many 

Love you Uncle Drewey
Pam

I will always cherish the memories I have spending time with you  when were we kids coming to your house for the summer and building things in the backyard.   You used to love to tinker and fix things and I loved to help.  I learned a lot from watching and helping you out over the years and will miss those opportunities.

Nobody can ask for a better grandfather to have in their family.  I am grateful my children were able to get to know you and spend time with you as well.  They always knew you by the bubblegum man.  :  )  

I wish I could have spent more time with you.  You will always be in our hearts and thoughts.  We will continue to help take care of maw maw for you so you can rest in peace.  I hope one day that we will meet again.

Love always,

Chad



Pawpaw I will miss you asking me if I want gum or a cookie out of the cookie jar. You were the best great pawpaw a girl could ask for. You always knew how to make everyone laugh and smile. I can’t wait to see you again when the time comes. I love you. Rest In Peace❤️

Pawpaw, there are so many favorite memories I have of you growing up. I always loved how proud you were of your family. I used to love coming over to spend the night as a kid and spending time with y’all. When our parents were too busy to bring us, all we had to do was call you. You always wanted your family to be happy and see us smile. I used to love to stay over there with all the cousins while our parents worked and couldn’t wait for my Pawpaw to come home. You always wanted to capture all the memories on the video camera and show us the memories anytime we visited.  I loved to sit around and hear your favorite stories of us as kids.  I can remember you bringing me to softball games and my high school graduation practice when my parents couldn’t. I just remember how proud you were of me and how I felt the same way about my Pawpaw! I am so glad that my kids also got to experience your love as well! You loved all your great grand babies just the same way. I am going to miss you so much! It is just not going to be the same without you. I know you are making all the angels smile up there! I will see you again and can’t wait for a big hug! I love you Pawpaw! 

Pawpaw, you will be forever missed. Some of my favorite memories with you were watching your eyes light up when me and daddy would come over sunday morning to visit. The first thing you would always do is pull out that old VHS tape of my birthday at the gymnastics studio. You and mawmaw were the ones that I always watched my girl with.  As I got older and trying to learn how to navigate my adult years, I didnt get to spend the time with you that I should have. If I could have just one more day, I'd tell you all about my life plans, watch my girl on repeat and I'd never say no to that piece of gum in your pocket. I love you pawpaw, and I'll see you again one day on the other side of the stars. 

There isn’t any one thing I can say about pawpaw that will say how much I love him or how much I will miss him, but between him and mawmaw they would always make you smile. Whether it was pawpaw walking around the family functions with his video camera or how mawmaw and him would be opening up birthday cards and then splitting whatever they got in half afterwards. You would have never guessed he was 83 because if you were working on something, you can bet he would be right there with you trying to help. I always thought it was funny to me because anytime pawpaw was around he either had chewing gum or some candy. I love you and I will always miss you pawpaw.

I could have not of asked God for a better Paw Paw than you . I will never forget the memories of you walking around with your video camera or asking if you we wanted a piece of gum , and you know how all of us grandkids loved the gum. I am going to miss when we would come down to visit and you and maw maw would have banana popsicles waiting . I am also going to miss your voice saying Love you hun as we go to leave . I am going to miss watching you and maw maw would bicker back and forth about the little things , because I know we were all thinking we hoped to love someone so much one day. I love you and am going to miss you more than you can imagine , until we meet again❤️ XOXO

Daddy I’m going to miss all the times we spent together. Just spending time on the porch talking about the good old days. You were our rock, you loved to talk about things you done at work and the trips we made together. It’s never going to be the same on those road trips. I know you’re with the angels now but, I still think your going to walk in at anytime. I miss hearing those old westerns and you laughing. It will never be the same. Daddy I love you and will miss you forever. 

I'm so glad I got to see you not to long ago. I will always cherish precous memories. I love and miss you uncle Drewey.❤

Uncle Drewey I feel so grateful to have had you in my life, so many happy childhood memories, so many I could go on and on, I will always cherish each and every one, such a good man, now an angel, always happy and a joy to be around, I am thankful I got to spend a little time with you a couple of weeks ago to tell you I love you one more time, I will see you again one day in heaven, you will always be in my heart. I love you...R.I.P.

Pawpaw I’m gonna miss you so much, I gonna miss you always talking about the time I walked through the house when I was little eating an apple, and all the times you’d play the harmonica for me. It’s not going to be the same without you here but you were an amazing man and someone I will always admire, I love you pawpaw I wish I could tell you that one last time.

Uncle Drewey , how you will be missed by so many. You left all who knew you with such great memories. You loved music I remember you could play that harmonica we all loved to listen. I knew when I seen my uncle coming I was getting me some chewing gum.  Never had to worry if the television went out cause you could repair them too, never a dull moment when you was around and that's the way I like to live too. I'm gonna say goodbye for now but one day we will meet in heaven and I will expect that chewing gum. I love you Uncle Drewey.

It breaks my heart to be writing a condolence for Mr.Durham I known him since I was a kid me and Susan grew up together went to school together, used to spend the night at there home, a lot of fond memories Drewey and Barbara were always so kind to me... sending my love and prayers to his family... 

Growing up Dad was always joking around with us kids.   He would tell us a story and of course we believed every word.   Go tell others then it would get back around to him and he would say I was just kidding.   When my daughter Cristina was about 7 years old or so she turned the tables on him and got him back.   I think the first time one of us had gotten a joke on him.    We are going to miss you Dad being funny and playing jokes on us.   My Dad was known by all of the little ones for having gum.   My niece Angela told me a story about when her sons was going to visit Dad and they stated  "That is the gum man".   My Dad always had a pack of chewing gum in his pocket and always asked who ever he was with " Do you want some gum?".   Dad I know you are in heaven asking everyone if they want gum and playing jokes on them.  Until we see you again.   We love you more than we can ever say.

Daddy, I know that you are already in heaven tinkering away.  You were the best dad in the world and I’m going to miss you so much.  You were always kind, patient and loving to us all.  I love you.  You are home and free of pain.

I could not ask for a better Pawpaw. You were our rock! Loved taking trips to the store as you played with radio instead of driving. Had to ask him if I needed to drive as we went around Red Top because he was all over the road. How I wish I could hear you tell me how much you get a kick out of the girls. Wish I would have taken more pictures. Love you Pawpaw. I’ll see you again some day. Fly high we will be here for Mawmaw always. I miss you! 

Dad we will miss you so very much. He was such a good man. He never met a stranger and even if someone did him wrong, I never heard him say anything bad about them. He loved all of his family and extended family. He was a forgiving man. We love you so much Daddy. You left an awesome legacy!   My Mom and Dad were married for 60 years April 10, 2019. They were each others best friends. We will take care of mom and help her through this time.     Until we see you again in heaven.  Rest in peace Daddy. Love, Love you so very much.  I will miss you saying  "I love you too hun".  

I always think of Drewey at the house and watching me work on something and saying "I'm a shade tree mechanic myself."  I'm going to miss that. God bless a good man. Good family man and great Father In Law!

So glad we were able to take my Dad and Mom on this trip.  Spent some quality time that I will always cherish.  We had so much fun.

I'm sure that Daddy was thinking "I can take a better picture", he loved nothing more than to make memories, document them with a camera and then show them off!

Which I could have a few more walks with this sweet man!


Prayers for the family  aunt sue  all the kids grandchildren and great grands. He will be missed I can see him passing gum to all the angels.i love you uncle Drewey  fly high and see you on the other side.  Jo Ann
