"T.C. SISK"

About his family and friends and work,
He liked to reminisce -
So, his stories we will surely miss.
This husband, father, grandfather, & mechanic
Is only one of a family that could fill the Titanic -
Then with nephews and nieces and all
Their family reunion was surely a ball.
Early on, he was a somewhat mischievous lad;
Then, down to the coal mines with his Dad -
Even, deputy sheriff was his label once;
It's been clear all along that he was no dunce.
His son and first wife passed away;
But, he had a second wedding day -
So, with his daughter and second clan,
He has three kids grand that he has in his plan.
Through the years, many horses he would ride;
In the saddle and on the trail he seemed to glide.
And the grandsons playing game after game,
Seemed to add to his claim to fame.
All this and more has seemed too brisk
As we mourn the passing of T.C. Sisk.
