Big Daddie, I love you. I love you so much. I know you will be watching all of us. I know will see you again, so Im not going to say goodbye. We love you, Moses J. Kuykendall, Krystle Pleasant-Kuykendall and Kyle P. Walton
He was the Grand Master of speed verbiage, intuitive logic, and personal drive. He always sought ways to improve things. . . I remember when he would purchase quarts of “Half/Half” and add it to homogenized milk to give it the correct flavor. That was MY uncle!
I learned much of my trade of tearing things apart in repairing them through you. And I always thought that’s why you called me “My Name”. Big Dad you will be greatly MISSED.You are always in mine and my families hearts. I LOVE YOU BIG DAD…
May Sandy and I offer our deepest sympathy to the family and friends of Talmen Tanner. He lived a long and eventful life. As a friend I found him to be a inventor and a life instructor.
Growing up, all of us (nieces and nephews) considered him not only a beloved uncle but also “our uncle who could fix anything”. His technical skill was surpassed by only his quick wit. He was dearly loved, and will be greatly missed, by all of us.
Uncle Talmen always made you think & each time you were around him you learned something new. He was a genius with a lightening quick wit and the enthusiam of a child. Being in uncle Talmen & aunt Geneva’s household was an exciting experience and I know that all the other nieces & nephews know exactly what I mean. There was never a dull moment. Uncle Talmen, thank you for all the wonderful memories & I thank God for you. With Love, W. Joe
We would like to express our heart-felt sympathy to all the Family. Connie & Charles, we are sorry we can not be with you during this time, however, we love you and want you to know that you are in our hearts. Remember, God is always in control & His will prevails.
