Chub lived his life on what we know as Rosedale road. As you look back over one’s life time you ask the question - what did this person do to make his life worthwhile, what was done?

Chub, was a friend to everyone and would do most anything to help you. The friendship and good will certainly made his life worthwhile, leaving those that knew him with fond memories.

Chub, worked in the trucking business most of his working years mainly involved with chicken litter at Townsends. We will remember in several ways:
(a) Under the big maple tree where he spent several summers times.
(b) The big grin with the “Hello there-how are you?”
(c) His friendship
(d) His red pick-up.
(e) The house alongside of the road with white siding, pink shutters and a big “hello, how are you?” All over it C.A. symbol of friendship.
Someone still lives in this house a very nice person-stop by and say “hello” spend a few minutes under the old maple tree-think about the old times.

Daddy we will miss you more than words can ever say. We will meet again some day, farewell until then.
