death by three sisters Ruth, Naomi and Minnie Pearl and a brother Jack. He was a good hearted old coal
miner that loved getting up in the morning for a good cup of coffee. Then immediately getting into his car to
go for a ride. He would stop and see friends and brag about his tomatoes and could then go pick a four
leaf clover. At the age of 85 he had quite a ride and everyone knew him. He loved little kids, dogs and
cats. He loved Jesus and we’re sure he loves seeing him now. We love you and will see you soon, so we
can go for a ride and listen to Allen Jackson. Survivors include a brother Mickey Walls of Clear Fork; a
nephew Mickey (Kathy) Sutter of San Angelo, TX; a great niece Sarah Sutters of San Angelo, TX; and a
host of other loving family and friends. Memorial services will be held at 7:00 PM on Monday February 11,
