Papaw and I had the same birthday ( may13th) 60 years apart. We both loved sharing our birthdays, we thought it was great sharing a birthday! I can’t just pick and choose memories on here, as there are so many. Growing up we went there for all the holidays, they will not be the same. He was there when I was born and helped calm me down after I got out of the hospital.
I always enjoyed the talks with him. He would talk for hours about life. I took pride in listening to him talk and how he achieved his goals. He is a part in the goals I have and how I’m going about achieving them. He told me several times how he built his houses and the path he took. I took all that to heart, it is what put me on the path I’m on in building my own house. I could go on for hours. He was a great man, I couldn’t be more proud to be able to call him my grandpa!
