    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.
