10-8 there Good News...

Yep..it's been awhile since I posted....duh.

My Uncle, who is married to my mom's sister died the other day.
Some folks called him JM and some called him Moon. My Aunt gave him this nickname
when they were dating because she said he could reach the moon. He was about 6'4".
Some say she labeled him Moon because of his height, I think it was because he promised her
the moon if she wanted it. He was JM to most.

He was a pulpwooder, charcoal burner, sheet-rocker, builder, contractor, shade-tree mechanic and other trades.
He drove trucks around here hauling pulpwood, when they loaded it by hand and with machinery. He drove them all across this great nation. His handle was "Good News".
He always had a joke or story to tell. You could hear him laugh from 3 hollers over or over a crowd. He liked a good old slobber-knocker college football game.
Alabama was his favorite, and anybody that played Auburn.
You would be hard pressed to find anybody that knew more Auburn, Florida, Texas, LSU or any University jokes and not repeat himself. Laughter was his best medicine.


But mostly he was a Husband, Father, Papa, Uncle, cousin, brother and many other titles.
Mostly he was a fair and Honest man. So hard to find now a day.
A God fearing Loving man of, I believe no equal.
He will be Greatly missed. I am privileged to have known him.
The Moon has set for the final time, We will miss you JM...
