Jason,
I am so sorry to hear of your Dad’s passing. I know how much you loved and respected him. Please know that I will be praying for you and your family during this difficult time.
Jason and the rest of the family our prayers are with you . Jason I just wanted to share a story that I remember of your dad. We were fishing a H.O.T. tournament over on Limestone and after the tournament Billy B. was having trouble with his trailer where the axle had flipped somehow and Billy was trying to flip it back. Everyone was standing around watching this and Billy was struggling and all of a sudden we hear this “Put some Sh__on it boy” , it was James. Everyone around there just fell out laughing . I don’t know if you remember that , I just wanted to share that with you .
Our prayers r with you Joyce, Travis and I will miss seeing yaw on the lake and James sweet voice..
May God grant you and the family peace.
