The children and grandchildren had many good laughs about things the great-grandchildren got away with at Grandy’s house that they never could.  A.D. was a Godly example of what a good husband, Daddy, and Grandy should be and he will be greatly missed.

A.D. had a strong affection and love for his church.  The family asks that memorials be directed to the Lexington United Methodist Church Building Fund.
