Honoring Paw Paw

My Paw Paw was one of the funniest men I’ve ever known. With the biggest heart and a head full of jokes, he instantly brightened any room he was in. He is so very missed, but I know he wants to be remembered for the love and laughter he brought throughout his life. Please take a moment to share a story, joke, or any kind words about him. Let’s honor Paw Paw <3 Annie Dabbs, Richard’s granddaughter
