A memory of dad by Kenley: I remember I went to the store with dad. Grandpa Lee was in town and had asked dad to get him a can of Copenhagen. Dad was hesitant but agreed. We were in Christine Laws’s line, and when she saw that dad was buying a can of Copenhagen, she about fainted. Dad commented, “I told grandpa he should come to buy his own Copenhagen.” About that time we hear, I heard that Ken and dad looked up and it was Aunt Verda, then we hear, I am here to Ken it was Aunt Barbara Certonio. Dad was so embarrassed!
Memory by Natalie: One-time, dad was getting ready to go to church. He had put some chapstick on and did not know it had some color to it. His lips were dry, so he used a lot of it. Fortunately, before dad got out of the house, mom noticed that dad had something pink smeared all over his lips. He looked a little bit like the Joker on Batman, so mom started laughing. When dad looked in the mirror, he started laughing and stated he had put on some cherry chapstick and had no idea it would color his lips! How funny. Good thing he did not leave the house this way!
Memory by Beverly: One-time dad was giving the Priesthood lesson at church, he quoted Hartman Rector Jr., but instead of saying Hartman Rector, he said Hartman Rectum, whoops!!!!
Memory by Saralee: One evening, dad went to go turn the water off in the garden and noticed a skunk was eating the cat food by the gate, so dad thought he could scare it away. The skunk puffed up and hissed and did like a charge at him. This scared grandpa so much he let out a high pitched scream!
