He was a dedicated employee of NAFCO for 37 years and was a faithful member of Nebo Cumberland Presbyterian Church for 70+ years. Mr. Putman enjoyed cutting his grass, keeping it groomed like a golf course and Alabama football. He also had a special eye for shiny cars and fancy cigars. You could see him often smoking a cigar on his porch and shining his car. His pastime of late was sharing old memories with friends and was always up for a good joke and some laughter.
