Long ago, when Lacy was a baby and Tabigail was living (along with Apple) EK and I used to ride horses together once in a while. He always had the best stories to tell. He was an unforgetable character in our community and he will be missed. Prayers for the family. Robbie
EK and I go back for many, many years. EK was a energetic person and would do anything to help someone out. He loved his hunting and was a respected hunter. I have not seen EK for a couple of years, but will always remember him for the person he was and how he treated everyone he met. He was a truly good person and loved his family. Kemp Edwards
Seth, So sorry to hear about your Daddy. Your and your family are in our prayers. Love you Susan Denton

My condolences to you and the family during this difficult time. I will always remember Red as a man that could read the ways of nature and become one with it. I was passing by your house a couple of months ago and EK was at the mailbox. I stopped and talked with him for quite a while, reminiscing and discussing good memories. I am glad I got to talk with him. You have my prayers for strength and comfort as you get through this sad time!
Debbie, keeping you and the entire family in my thoughts, prayers, and meditations. gary brock
