Clusters, Momma's fried pies & her good home cooking. He told us once that he
was a simple man with simple ideas -- "Do right, be fair, do it right the
first time, don't lie, and love your people hard & fast." When asked if
he would do anything different in life, he thought a while and said, "Naw.
I'd do it all over again the same way. I've had a good life with your Momma
and you kids."
