  2. If you gave him a bundle of fishing line all twisted up, he would untangle it. If you brought a young little great nephew to the beach house he would stand on the end of the pier in his sox and fish.
    Uncle Sam has always been more than Aunt Libby’s

  3. Dear Betsy, what a long and noble life your father lived! And now to be in the presence of our Lord. God bless you and your family as you mourn, miss and celebrate this precious life….your dear father! Barbara Bickers
