Family meant everything and more to him. Lots of smiles and laughs always filled the room when he was present. He was not only a father to his kids but also to any that didn’t have a father in their life. Everyone looked up to him and he was the glue that held us all together. It’s not goodbye, it’s see you later, Paw.
Kirksey Funeral Home of Morganton has the honor of serving the family.
