  13. Michael R. Jennings says:
    There are not enough nice things I can say about my friend P. T. A friend to me for as long as I have known him, there was never a time that he was not friendly and upbeat. If P. T. was having a bad day you would never know it from him. He would stop by the office on duty as a deputy sheriff, or I would see him at the Courthouse or in a County Commission Meeting, and he was always the same friendly supportive person. He will be missed and remembered by all of us and not just in the next few days. The world needs more people like P. T.
