I’m sorry I am not able to be there. I have many memories with Marion. Either at the plumbing shop, my grandparents house or at the deer lease. He will be greatly missed . My condolences to the family. May he rest in peace.

I loved cooking for Paw Paw. He was so gracious even if he didn't like some things he never complained. He loved when I brought him hog head sauce. He was a wonderful friend . After I left I missed him a lot! Rest well now old friend!
