I called him the afternoon before the event. I wanted to remind him that he was my very special guest. The 92-year-old said, "I will be there as soon as I finish working out this colt." "Breaking a green colt in this 90-degree heat?" I asked. "Yes sir, I had to take a break though after four hours." I explained that I understood. I was mounted on a rank chestnut quarter horse (aka my ole red GMC pickup). I was headed to Brazoria County. I'm not sure if he got my feeble attempt at humor. Tomorrow, the legendary cowboy will return to the same auditorium. This event will happen on Wednesday, May 21, 2025, at the Brazoria County Fairgrounds. It's his funeral.
This is written for and dedicated to eleven people: my three sons (and their wives) and six grandchildren. They are the joy of my life. Anyone else who would care to listen in is welcome.
I've learned much from seeing the world through the eyes of my grandchildren, for you know, the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these. ~ Randy Willis
