R.D. Pete McCallie was one of a kind, His laugh would light up any room and if you ever met him you would never forget his wonderful personality, He was my uncle and I loved him dearly. Pete as he was known to family & friends was a welder and in his younger days worked on several pipelines, I worked with him in and around Wetumka and about daylight every morning he wasn't hard to find just go to the Ranch-O-Tel cafe and follow the laughter and there he would be surrounded by all the waitresses and others having a merry old time. Pete was the fifth of five children born to Ross Denton Sr. & Ida Belle Grissom McCallie, Pete was the grandson of John Henry & Martha Ann Long McCallie and Samuel Elexander & Julia Ann Kent Grissom, Also great grandson of William T. & Mary Ann Hanks McCallie and Joseph Augustus & Elizabeth Brock Grissom.
