This was a man of great meaning to me growing up he was one of my favorite people I've had the pleasure of learning from and playing with as a kid. My ma maw ida loved him dearly. I remember when he turned 40 in keysville, Ga the put at sign up at farmers bridge Rd that said lordy lordy my baby's 40 pleas honk. I thought that was so cool..... He showed me to take corn flakes add a bit of sugar and a dash of vanilla flavor to it and OMG it was amazing I still eat my corn flakes the same. I love and miss you uncle Troy I know your strumming that guitar and mawmaw ida singing too no tears in heaven.
