Medford was a classmate and good friend. During the summer of 1952 I was a construction ironworker in Dallas and roomed with him and Earl Ray. In the fall I moved on to a job in Oklahoma.
I do remember back, a time Medford took his uncle?, Chet,? (handicapped) and I for a ride down to the Neches river. We sat on the high bank overlooking the river and ate sardines and crackers. 
Those were good years. I was also born in 1933.

Donna and Larry, 
Praying for peace in your heart as you navigate these days. May your Dad rest in peace ❤️

Uncle Medford was not only my uncle but also my baseball coach. I played 1st and Jeffrey played 2nd. Being 12 was probably one of the best times in my life. I always respected Medford not only because he was stern, which he was, but because he knew what boys needed to understand about right and wrong. He was a great man and will be missed by many. I know I will miss him and 2 of his 3 boys.

We are so saddened to hear of Medford’s passing. Will and I enjoyed sitting in front of Alice and Medford at church. Medford always had a funny squirrel story! Rest In Peace dear friend, you will be missed. Betty and Will Christian

Alice, Donna, and Larry,
When I moved to Normandy Estates in 2000, Alice and Medford would be out in the early morning walking while I was out jogging. We crossed paths many times. They were special neighbors and friends. I always enjoyed visiting with them when they were out in their yard. They loved being outdoors and tending to their garden and landscape plants. They let me pick figs from their huge fig tree in the backyard.  Medford had an ongoing battle with squirrels in his pecan tree. I think he finally gave up and let the squirrels have the pecans. Medford will be greatly missed in our neighborhood and at church. I always liked to see his little grin/smile! Rest in peace Medford. My prayers are with the family as they grieve.

I am so sorry to hear of Uncle Medford's passing. He was always my favorite.  Heaven gained a great Angel. Prayers for comfort, strength and wisdom during this difficult time.
