To the McMahan Family,
Jessie and I were sad to learn about ‘Tuppy’s’ passing.
Please know that all of you are in our thoughts and prayers.
Ricky, your daddy was a good man and I always enjoyed being around him. He was firm in his belief in God and he was always willing to share it with anyone who would listen.
Please know that God will give you the strength to get through these difficult days ahead.
God bless you all,
Tommy and Jessie Koontz
Ricky, I’m so sorry to hear about Tub. He was a nice man and I have some good memories of him when we were all running around the old neighborhood. I will be thinking about you and your family. Love, Deb Moss Cole
I was saddened last evening to learn from Mom that Tup had passed. He was an inspiration to all who knew him and a truly wonderful man. He was certainly a role model to people like me while I was growing up. My wife, Carol, joins me in sending our deepest, heartfelt sympathy to the entire family.
