Dear Darlene and Family, Our families have shared many great moments and memories over the years. Whether traveling, camping, square dancing, playing cards, dominos, eating pizza or riding motor cycles with Dub, in his Eagle red and white cowboy boots or coming in half frozen from mountian climbs in the sleet and rain in Colorado. He loved visiting around a camp fire or driving to Krebs to eat Italian, he even let Skip drag him all over the country side from one auction to another. Dub was always game. If memory serves, those two had a competition about who's truck was the best, Dub's Chevrolet or Skips Ford. Seems there was a trailer hitch cover, with an emblem attached, that, "Showed Up", in the others ones hitch several times over one camping season.We enjoyed hearing Dub tell about his youth growing up on the farm in southern Oklahoma, now home to the Braum's Dairy. Stories of his time spent with OTSACO, or when he'd laugh that being the Milk Man at Central High School meant he'd get hot cookie, for his effort. He was just rubbing it in because Skip taught there and he did not get a hot cookie from the kitchen staff. Remember Dub's pleasure at having ice cream each evening. I remember he enjoyed cakes, pies and watermelon, equally. I laughted and told him once, "You could take the boy out of the country, but not the country out of the boy". He got a kick out of that one.Dub enjoyed his daughters, granddaughters and the great grand children's zeal for life gave him much pleasure in the last few years. He told stories about this one or that one and what they did to make him laugh.You will be sadly missed Mr. Dubber Du, by you family and your many friends, too! God Bless you my friend and support your Family in this time of sorry. Pattie Gay-Sittler and Family
