So sorry to hear this. Bill Smith told me recently in email that Jumper was having health problems. I sent an email to Dot and jumper but did not get a reply.
What a fun guy he was. And yes O.B., his golf was questionable at best. He, I, Dot and Pat played a round of golf in South Alabama a few years back. As a lot of people know, Pat can play better than I and and Dot was better that Jumper so we really didn't have a chance. I birdied the 17th hole to draw us even in the match and then proceeded to make an 8 or 9 on the 18th to lose the match. Jumper rode me like a mule the rest of the afternoon. I just didn't have the heart to remind him that he had not won a single hole all day. And, I still had to buy dinner that night.
Colorful and fun is a great description of the guy. I will certainly miss his emails. Please send pat and I the home address so we can communicate appropriately.
