Farmer, soldier, master welder, pipefitter, carpenter, plumber, mechanic, hunter, fisherman, singer and musician. A sharpshooter, he was awarded a Purple Heart and the Bronze Star; served in the US Army in the Philippines and New Guinea. In 1968 he traveled with his family to the Holy Land, Italy, Greece and Israel. Was a great fan of the immortal Jimmie Rodgers. Daddy could do anything and make anything - but was unable to read beyond 6th grade level; he was denied an education due to poverty and I suspect he was dyslexic. He was my beloved father and died in my arms. Sleep sweetly through the long years, Daddy. Perhaps the Good Lord will grant that we meet again. In the meanwhile, I know He will let you in to see a Jimmie Rodgers performance and you won't need no dime.
In 2014 I visited Jimmie's museum and grave and buried your guitar pick with him. I left earth from your grave and brought some of his back to Texas for yours.
