My daddy was nicknamed "Dub" which everyone called him. He worked at the Enka plant for a living. He had 4 children: Patty, Joe and June by their mother Louise Moore Taylor and Ricky whose mother was "Little Hazel" Dehart Taylor. Daddy was always playing jokes on people. He was a victim of Parkinson's disease and very sadly died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. We loved him.
