He was a wonderful caring husband, father of five and foster father to many whom he helped during his life. He was a giving man and someone who certainly made a difference in ways unimaginable. Service to the United States in the Navy was something he was so very proud of. We miss him terribly but we all know..he's in a Higher place now. Thank you all for capturing his spirit. <br>Sharon-Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1586080509912068029.post-64230524622259516652009-08-13T14:03:42.639-07:002009-08-13T14:03:42.639-07:00Today I learned my foster father, Peanut is gone. ...Today I learned my foster father, Peanut is gone. I was lucky enough to be taken in by Peanut, Merle and family when I was 14. I am saddened for Peanut's family to hear of his death. His effervescent personality brought joy to those around him. The unconditional love provided to me during my years with the Bingler family not only turned my life around but help shape who I am today. I am grateful I had the opportunity to tell Peanut and Merle what a difference they made to me.<br>Love to the family, <br>Vicki Lucas MyersVickihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10462613842759723351noreply@blogger.com
