You will be missed.thank you for all you did in my 51 years.I know your with mom now and playing cards with the guys. Love you always.
Luther, jr a great family man. I remember when you, Betty Jo, and Calvin used to come to see us in Lawrenceville and while Betty was visiting with my mother, my father, you, and sometimes Calvin would sneak off and get large chocolate milkshakes from the local drugstore in town. Shared alot of family memories and made new ones during those visits. My dad Samuel and my mother Eloise always enjoyed getting together with you and now you are all together again. With love, the Major family
