  1. PawPaw was the most amazing man I’ve had the honor of knowing; loving, kind, caring and always willing to lend a helping hand. Storytelling with PawPaw was the best time. He and his “Little Betty” together were an amazing couple with hearts of gold and a love for each other and their family and friends that was insurmountable. I’m so lucky to have been able to enjoy not only Christmas time at the tree farm but summer time with homemade ice cream. The only comfort in this time is knowing that he is with his Little Betty in paradise. Sharon, Stef and family, my heart goes out to you as you struggle through this journey. PawPaw, may you Rest In Peace, I will always be grateful that you touched my life. ❤️

  9. Dear Family, I know we’ll all miss Larry Morgan. I had the pleasure of working with him for many years with
    Western Electric. His knowledge of the telephone systems was amazing, there were no problems he could not
    find a fix for, I learned many things from him, both on the job and off the job in many different telephone offices
    all around NC, SC. He would help you with any problem on or off the job, he’ll be remember by all of us guys
    that worked with him.
