Memories & quotes:
(1) I remember him relaxing in his favorite chair on Sunday afternoons, in shirt & tie. Small & thin, soft spoken, smoking a cigar, chewing tobacco and spitting in his brass spittoon -- memory of grandson, Harold Balkcom, 12/30/2019.
(2) Whenever he went to a restaurant or cafeteria & had a choice of two vegetables, it was always a double order of asparagus; relayed to me by my mother -- memory of grandson, Warren (Steve) Balkcom, 09/22/2020.
