My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. I have fond memories of Ray and Opal from when I was a child growing up. Ray was always so sweet to me. He always had a joke to tell and was always a happy man. He will be greatly missed.

To my Grandfather. I love you so much. The time we spent together, sometimes many weeks out of the year when Dad would be on the road and you and I and Uncle Bob would get to the farm everyday. At the time it seemed like the worst thing in the world to go to them fields and look at the rows of tobacco that had no end to it. But, Grandpa, it was years later before I learned more about business from you than any college could ever teach me....I am a hard, hard worker because of you Grandpa. I love you and will never, ever forget you for everything you did for me. See you down the road. Love you so much, Randy

For my grandfather who I love so dearly, Thank you for teaching me what hard work was all about. And knowing the pay you may receive might not be equal to the work you put in.
I will never forget that little blonde girl you called Ellie may fallowing you down every row across the fields making sure to count my seeds just as you taught me to.
As I came upon a turtle that you clearly could not have seen. I asked you why you ran it over and you told me that's where were going to have the best bean plants great fertilizer you said. as I walk a little father thinking to my self, Isn't it fish not turtles that make great fertilizer. well I can say grandpa we had one heck of a great crop that year. Just as you did with family you raised one heck of a crop. I love you and tell my dad I love him to.
Your little Ellie May
