Ginny & Papa at Warren's 60th birthday party [June 2011}Papa was one of those men who never talked much, but he said a lot by the way he lived. He was someone I wanted as my own grandpa and I thank his grand kids for sharing him. I had the privilege of attending his funeral a week ago. As did a number of other people, and I think we all felt the same way-- like we were someone special to him. Together with Ginny, they have sure been quite a team. One of the speakers related them to the outside horses of a four-breasted team, constantly teaching and guiding people in the right direction.
He was a hard worker, worthy servant, faithful companion, and lived his dream as a cowboy.
I pondered a lot that day, and since, about the person I am and who I want to become. Papa was a giant of a man, someone we all could try a little harder to be like.
