I took this picture about 2 weeks ago at a Christmas dinner. This is my papaw Bill. He went into a coma a day or so later and has been in the hospital since. He turned 88 a few days ago. He's been a musician, a miner, a junkyard owner, a landlord, an investor, a politician and one of my biggest fans. He lived a great life and has always inspired me. He died today. During that last Christmas dinner I found myself alone with him briefly.. and the last thing he said to me was "Where do you get them girls..." and he smiled and he laughed. I whispered the secrets into his ear and we had another laugh. He had battled for a few years and I'm relieved he went out in his sleep. Rest in Peace.

Now I got to find out how I'm gonna behave without him.... lol.

I've always had great experiences with both sets of grandparents. I am glad you posted and honored him in this manner. I have somehow gotten disconnected from HLC, even though I have been on Patreon since its inception. I'm from Indianapolis and was just in Bowling Green for three days. We make the trip at least once a year. Looking forward to HLC 2025. ~Mark

How the hell did I miss this? My sincere apologies for this post flying under my radar. It looks like Bill lived a full and eventful life. My the best of your memories with him help you cope with your loss. May the best of his values never be lost.

todd irwin

So sorry for your loss. It is always so hard to lose a loved one. I have never gotten over losing my parents. You just have to live each day the way you feel that they would. Some day I and you will get to see them again. God has his ways. Again so sorry for your loss. Keep a smile.on your face and always remember they are watching from above.

The Old Director

I just saw this! I'm not sure how I missed it. I'm so sorry for your loss. I can only hope that when I pass away someone will think enough of me to write something this nice. (Or, maybe they could do it before I die.) you have my deepest sympathy. I'm sure he will be missed.

mike williams

Prayers for Bill, you and family.

Rob

So sorry for your loss!
