Although his tombstone and SSDI have his birth date as 1910, the Family Bible has his birthdate recorded as 1911, and I believe this to be the correct date. I think he changed his date when he started to work and just left it that way because he said he could retire a year earlier that way.
Uncle RC, my favorite uncle I would tell him, which he said wasn't much to say since he would point out that he was my only uncle.
We chased each other with squirt guns, much to my mother's chagrin, and he treated me royally by taking me along on his vacation to Florida in 1960. But that was the first time he ever burned in the Florida sun and he blamed it on me, so I never got invited along again after that!

-m2-09 Dec 1967, Anderson Co, Tennessee - Dorothy Josephine (Kinnamon) Grizzell (affectionally known as "Bill")
No known children, but he always treated the children of both his wives, Laura Belle & Bill, as his own.
