He believed a driver shouldn't have a new car for their first because it would probably be involved in an accident. He was right! Father really does know best!
Yes, that's the father-bride dance. No one could measure up to him in my eyes.

| Donald Wayne McCorkle | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| My father was a wonderful son, brother, husband, and father. He was a carpenter by trade, and a jack of all trades. He had many hobbies. He believed in the importance of family. He tried to always include the hobbies and family, which made for wonderful memories. We spent countless weekends camping on a sand bar, getting there by boat. When he went hunting, we were welcome to come, while riding 3-wheelers, talking on C.B. radios, and staying in a cabin. We spent countless hours bowling after block parties. He truly believed families were to spend time together, and that kept his children from getting in as much trouble as we could have. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| As I mentioned, he was a jack of all trades. In the above picture he is painting my first car. He believed a driver shouldn't have a new car for their first because it would probably be involved in an accident. He was right! Father really does know best! |

| The two pictures above were on my wedding night. It was the only time my dad wore a tuxedo. Yes, that's the father-bride dance. No one could measure up to him in my eyes. |

| The picture to the left was taken at the hospital after his first grandchild was born. He was proud to have a grandchild named after him. His name was Donald, and her middle name is Donna. He thought the world of her and spent several hours with her. The Lord called for him 2 1/2 months later. He now also has a grandson that he would have loved to play with. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
