View all 17 ReflectionsTree Top. That's the nickname I've heard. I didn't remember anything about him, just memories of others told to me as stories. Of pulling over my mom when he saw her in town. Of a great basketball player. Devoted husband, father, and son. Pictures and stories I know, memories I don't. To the father I never knew. Your legacy lived though your parents, Jack and Tommie, and mine continues though them.
