Your father was always gentle to us and went to different events at Little Rock Association of the Deaf (LRAD) and Arkansas Association of the Deaf (AAD) to be a part of the Deaf Community for many years. We shall miss him and think of his family from now on.
He will be missed, I’m one of his nieces. Wish I could be there, but I live in San Antonio, Texas. My Heart, Prayers, and Love go to my cousin Belle
Hugs and Prayers to you Belle, and your family. We love you, and are thinking of you.
