Runt,as we all knew him, was a wonderful grandfather to my grandchildren, Randon Watson. Cordair Cook, Sharley Cook and was always there if they needed him for any reason. They all could call on him for advice on any situation. If I they ever called on him for anything he was always willing to give advice and help in any situation.
I appreciated all he did for his wonderful wife Olivia and all she did for him. He will be missed as I often called him and listened to his advice especially since I suddenly lost my husband not too long ago. I was not able to be with his family at the hospital when he passed but I know it was hard as I had to say farewell to my sweet husband at the same hospital four years ago ago. May God watch over Olivia, his precious sons and daughter and the many Grandchildren he leaves behind.
