"Some called him Harold, most called him Buck, but I just called him Dad. He was a caring person who loved his family. We lived in Kahoka, Mo. many, many years ago but I still remember us jumping in the old International and driving into Keokuk to see Grandma and Grandpa Wilson, then we would make our way over to see Aunt Betty and who ever else was at home. I moved to Ga. to stay with my real Mom for a summer and never went back. Years past and I would often pick up the phone and call him to let him know that I was missing him and we would talk for a few minutes. I just wished I could have spent more time with him before GOD called him home. On April 27,2014 marks the nine years he has been gone and it still hurts as it did the day he passed. I love you Dad, Bill Mann"
