Grandpa Tic Tac

Yesterday we went to a funeral of our good friend Bro. Allred. We knew him from our previous ward in Clearfield. His wife passed away about 3 weeks before him. He was such a good example of a true diciple of Christ. He was always willing to help anyone in any way that he could. I worked with him a little when he was in the YM and I was in YW. He was called Grandpa Tic Tac because he always had tic tacs in his pocket after church to give to all the kids. He had lost an arm when he was 19 from cancer but he did not let that slow him down.

One good memorie I have of him is when we were moving he came over to help us load stuff into the truck. He was there for many hours helping with only one arm. He did not complain one bit just kept going and going. We will miss him but will remember the good memories!

What a sweet man. How great that he gets to join his wife so soon.

He was such a great man and I loved hearing all the stories you told about him from the funeral. He's with his wife and maybe he's already met Pres. Hinckley too. I hope so because Bro. Allred was good enough to meet the prophet.
