I remember when me and Alyssa were younger and we used to stay with April and Pappy a lot. I remember getting into trouble for wrestling with Boo in the yard even though it was his idea. Those were the times when I know we definitely got annoying. Eventually, we all grew up and I’m sure he thought it was over… until it wasn’t. Recently, they let me move in with them and some of you can imagine how that went. It was a lot of fun living with them and getting even more on there nerves then we did as kids. Though I do believe that that’s what family does. Pappy was kind and he always did what he could for his family. I’m so thankful they offered me a place and cleared me out a room and I’ll never forget what it was like to live with them and have all the fun nights we had. I love you Pappy and we are all going to miss you so much.

Earskin was in my class of second graders. He was a teacher's dream student. It was blessing to have crossed paths with him several times in his adult life also. A very good natured and friendly guy.

i didn’t have very long to get to know him, but the little of 2 years i was able to get to know him i was very thankful for. everytime i would come over he would talk with me and always treated me like family, i saw him as another grandfather; i wish i had more time to really be around him, but the little time i did i realized he was a honest, down to earth amazing guy. he was the center of every gathering and no matter who you was, he would treat you with respect, and would talk up a conversation any time you wanted to. he will always be such a good role model, and a great man:

My fondness memory of Peanut became a life changing event for myself and my wife to be , unknown at that time to the both of us. Peanut along with a few more people, including to my son, Jeremy,had been trying to arrange a meeting for me and Donna who I had never meet before in my life. We were both reluctant to meet again unknown to the both of us. After regular prodding we both finally agreed to meet. The meeting was to be at the Wagon Wheel in Bridgeport. I arrived first and then Donna came in and we were introduced and after an informal meeting. We both later told each other later that we both felt a very strong connection to each other.We exchanged phone numbers, which I found out later Donna never did that. Donna said she had to go due to agreeing to be the designated driver for her son, Garry who was part of the ones trying to arrange for us to meet and his wife. As she left I thought to myself that I would never hear from her again. Peanut came over to me and said did you know that you were given the thumbs up. I responded that I had no ideal that had occurred. After that initial meeting we later became engaged and later married to each other and a wonderful life and marriage developed. Along with our marriage a lifelong Friendship developed between Peanut and April and Donna and myself. As we later became friends Peanut and April always, no matter where they lived had our picture on their refrigerator.Many fond memories have been enjoyed during our life since that initial and brief meeting. Peanut is and always will be in our hearts. Thank you for coming into our lives and so sad that the time was way to short. You will and are truly missed.
