I held my father’s hand as he passed away a few hours ago, he was born the son of a very poor single mother in a coal camp in Harlan County Kentucky...after serving in the Navy during World War II he attended the University of Kentucky. In 1950 my father married his high school sweetheart and moved to Kingsport where he and my mother raised three children, myself and my two sisters. He had a good life and was a prosperous man who provided well for his family.
