My father “Big Ray” spent a lot of time in the kitchen. Here he is shaving. At the time this picture was captured daddy weighted about 140 pounds. During his healthier times he weight 240 pounds. And was six feet four inches tall.

Daddy as he got on in age had to use a walker. You never think of your parents getting old. But they do, if they have the blessing of the Universe.

Big Ray holding on to the steel support as he walks backwards down his front steps.

My father in his living room eating some food. In this picture he is bent over looking real weak. When my father was younger he weighted 225 and stood 6’4″.

“Big Ray” 2001 this was his last year on the planet, One day I went to see him. I asked how was he feeling he said “not good and what are you going to do about It?”

My father in the dining room of his house he was really getting tried at this point. I grew to really love him. I miss “Big Ray”.

When daddy got clean, he was a cool dresser. I notice I now dress some what like him. For a long time I wore a jeff, but I recently started letting my hair grow back..

“Big Ray” about to get in his car before he showed any signs of dementia.

“Big Ray dressed to go to his sister’s funeral.

My father in his kitchen. Daddy cooked well. One of the problems I had early on is finding a caregiver whose food daddy enjoy eating.
