Tributes
"I can still hear your dad laugh when in Texas with Grandpa and Grandpa Fuls we all decided to go to Dairy Queen. Dad told Uncle Gary we wanted a Peanut Buster Parfait. BUT when Uncle Gary gets up to the window he orders a Peanut Parfait Buster. We all laughed so hard... except for the clerk taking the order. Dad will be missed ... All our love from Texas. "
