Uncle Paul was a fine man and diary man. One time her left me standing in a field because I was being a scardy cat with the cows! Or I remember bending the tongue of the wagon while getting up the hay. He never said a word d , just bent it back. Those are just good memories of being on the farm with him.RIP.
So sorry for your loss. Will keep you in my prayers.
I am so sorry to learn of the passing of Mr Saylor always remember him passing by on his tractor mowing hay behind our house sometimes he would stop and chat awhile.
Sometimes a cow might wonder over to pay a visit.
Kenney and Kathy I am so sorry to hear of Mr Saylor passing peace and love to your families.

I shall always remember Mr. Saylor by his ready grin, kindness and patience. As a kid he always took the time to answer the questions with a grin on his face! No matter how trivial. I can't be with you guys but I will hold you in my heart. Blessings.
