We are sorry for your loss
We always had a great time when Mr. E.O. was around. He would love to walk with us around his property and up to the pond. He always had a kind word and a pat on the head for our son Jesse. One of my favorite memories of him was watching his determination to peel and eat a boiled crawfish. We are proud to have called him a friend. His family will be in our thoughts and prayers.
So sorry to hear of your loss. May God Bless you.
