My granpa...his name was R.V. Hayes
Five years ago this week he went out into eternity
to be with our Lord after a long battle with Black-Lung
from working the coal mines of West Virginia.
The treasure he hunted was making folks laugh.
He was very sucessful at his hunt, for he was
always cracking jokes and always laughing himself.

We all miss you, Granpa.
We'll see you soon.

So sorry for your loss, we have a lot of 'Black lung' in this country also, (coal mining).
My Great -Great-Grandpa was named Hayes also.
Your memories of your 'good times' & laughter will not be forgotten.

I'm sorry, Levisdad. Your grandad was like mine, a West Virginia coal miner. Men like this are very special for what they do.

My condolences.

Your grandfather looked like he was full of life. My wifes grandfather worked in the coal mines in West Virginia also before he moved to California. His last name was Loving and he drank whiskey, smoked a pipe till he was 95 years old. The doctors told him to stop so he did and died at 105 years old in San Jose Ca. I guess when its your time its your time. God bless him.....aa
