Thanks Rod for the kind words and prayers with the passing of my Father-in-law. He knew Jesus as his Saviour and is with him today.
As you guys know, family is very important. Some of my best memories of Papa T is when, along with my Mother-in-law and wife's aunt, they would come over for a fish-fry. They would rather have crappie than any other fish. Papa T would eat a bunch of fillets and said he had all he could eat. It wouldn't be but a couple of minutes and you would see a fork going back to the platter for one more. He would always have a grin on his face. My only regret is that I have had a good mess in the freezer for the last two months and have not been able to get everyone together. I had one very large crappie fillet that had Papa T's name on it. We'll split it up and share it with everyone in his honor.
