Bobby and Sandra, How fortunate you were to have your dad this long....still does not make us ready to give them up. I know his service will bring lots of friends and loved ones together and you will enjoy each other as you reminisce old times and memories. God Bless You.

When our girls were little, they would be in Elaine and DA's backyard playing and they would always watch over the fence for "Mr Boat's" hat so they could talk to him. Our girls are grown and married but still refer to him as Mr Boat. They loved him as we did. He will be missed.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you all .Your father will be missed by all. Enjoyed visiting with him at the seniors hall .God Bless you in your time of loss

Sorry to read about the passing of your Dad. I remember we lived next door to him when our son was a toddler. He was such a nice man. I know you will miss him. It is hard to loose a parent no matter how old we are when it happens. He lived a long and wonderful life.

Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.
