  8. Timmy, Nina & Pam so sorry for your loss. Was just showing my dad home movies the other day that he had not seen in many years of our families vacations together at Gorman Falls and also the hunting and fishing trips that he had with Perry and Truman. Dad had some good stories of their adventures together. Perry was one of a kind. Our prayers go out to each of you.

  9. Nina, Timmy, Pam and family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Our daddies were buddies from the time they were in ‘grade’ school as they called it back then. They have hunted together, fished together, and our families vacationed together. I’m so glad we can enjoy all those wonderful memories forever. We love y’all.

  10. So sorry to read about Mr. Hobbs' passing. Such a nice gentleman and a fine family. You are each in my prayers. May he rest in peace.
