IF THIS WORN LEATHER HAT COULD TALK....It would tell you a million stories about....
- Fishing for crappy in its favorite boat, “Keepin’ It Cool”, on its favorite lake, Lake Cypress Springs in East Texas with his son.....
- The many days it spent at UTSW.......
- The times it was run over by an 800-pound wheelchair...
- How it rode shotgun in a 40’ diesel motorhome and a burgundy Goldwing Trike while seeing this beautiful country....
- How it proudly celebrated his brother Doug, the Briskaterian
- How it was worn by Bella and Brie’s Grandpa each time they saw him....
- How it traveled each year to the top of Pikes Peak on a motorcycle trike....
- How it rested on the head of its sleeping owner in the electronics department of Wal-Mart after he mistakenly took his nighttime pills in the morning....
- How it persevered through hot summers and protected through the cold winters...
- And....how it quietly attended the funeral of its owner in his wheelchair.
Although the head it covered and protected for many years has gone on to a better place, the worn leather hat still lives.....in our home.....framed and seen every day as a reminder of the friend it was to a man who endured great obstacles.
You will never be forgotten, Chuck. We Love You.
Happy Birthday!
