R.B. TREADAWAY........my father in law

How do you say goodbye to a wonderful Father in law, Grandpa, Husband, Dad and Best Friend?

R.B. ( Dad to us kids), was taken from us all too soon; we lost him to a blood clot in his lungs October 1st, 2010

When I first met him I confessed I didn't know how to "spit" properly; and since he was from Texas and a tobacco user I thought perhaps this might endear me to him more if he taught me how to "spit" ?  The incident that led up to my "confession" and made him chuckle with laughter was innocent enough......

I had been drinking a natural juice drink that had left
some after taste in my throat and rather than struggle
with the effects I chose to remove the offensive from my
throat.  Needless to say, my attempt was not well done
and the results left my soon to be husband in a fit of
laughter and almost falling down because of the hilarity
of it all!  When I saw him next I told him of my dilemma
and he said he'd take me out behind my dad's woodshed
and teach me how to "spit", I never did get that lesson.

But I did get so many more valuable ones from him in the short
5 years that I did get to spend with him and I will cherish the time
and the lessons.

The picture was taken the day my husband and I were married;
you can see the pure joy on his face because his son had found the
right woman and I had found the right man.

We will forever remember R.B. Treadaway.
