Another long time Crediton resident passed on,, One who worked long hard hours,, yet always found the time to hit the donut shops and socialize and then grab his scratch tickets to try his luck. He always had a smile,, and a story,,, and always had time to talk.. I know that he missed Phyllis after she passed,, life would never be the same after she was gone. Just knowing that the two of them are back together, with Vickie by their sides, makes my heart happy. So sorry to Darlene and Darren,, it is such a huge loss when you lose your father.. I know he always enjoyed the time he spent with you and the grandkids. Phyllis used to talk about how much he loved the time spent with you all. Please know you are in my thoughts,, hugs being sent your way..
