My PaPa did many things in his life, he loved music and could play the Fiddle, the Mandolin, the Guitar, he could even could play spoons and blow into his cupped hands and make music.
When first married he farmed land in Crosby , Lubbock and Hockley counties of Tx.
In the 1940's he moved to Ropesville, Tx and built a car garage, He was involved in auto racing, and loved to "tinker" with anything with a motor. He went to the "shop" everyday up until just before his death. He is missed everyday, by many. |
