My Daddy, Jake Gates Montgomery was born on January 31, 1916. Tomorrow is his 105th birthday!
He died on 27 May, 1979 at age 63, which is 4 years younger than I am now.
I was only 25 years old when he died so I have spent a lot more years without Daddy than with him yet he had a profound influence on the person I am today.
When he died Moma and Daddy had celebrated their 30th wedding anniversary a few months before. My mother was a widow for almost 30 years.
I look forward to seeing them both again.
