Robert was my grandfather. We had a very close relationship. I recall as a child I would always sleep in his room with him when visiting. He had a leather couch which I used for a bed. He had an old pick-up truck which I will never forget, bouncing around on the bench seat, the way it smelled, and grandpa shifting the truck as we went along (it shifted on the column) and I was fascinated by it. Every Saturday he would take me into Talbotton for a haircut. We would stop on the way back home to buy worms for fishing and then to a little general store up at the corner on the highway to buy candy and some bbs (pellets) for my bb gun. My memories of him are very dear to me.
