So sorry for your loss. Prayers for all of the family during this hard time.
Kathy and family, We are so very sorry for the loss of your father, but know he is at peace now. Our love and prayers are with you always.
It’s been a honor and privilege to know this man. They don’t come any better. He will be greatly missed.
He was our Cowboy! A Cowboy to all of us, and loved by all of us! Bill Roberts, Jim Davenport, and Tom Staggs.
My husband Tom Staggs has talked about Cowboy for many years. Tom thought the world of him and enjoyed his company and his stories about his life. Your family is in our prayers as I understand that your Mother recently passed away, too.
I never met a man that work so hard for his family! My condolences to the family
