Daddy and his tractor

I remember my caring Daddy. He was a soft-spoken, hard-working man. He loved his tractor even though he was not a farmer. He worked as long as I can remember driving a truck for the Commercial Ready Mix cement plant in Ahoskie. He used his tractor to help others with their gardens or smoothing their driveways and anything else he could do. The picture shows my daughter, who loved to ride with him. Misheala was 1 year old and is now 6 and in first grade this year. My dad, Dan Taylor, passed away in July of this year.
