I have very fond memories of going over to Rooster’s house with my dad(Pappy) Jim Boyd when I was a kid Pappy, Rooster and Fat Boy used to have quite a time cutting up and fiddling with cars ect.. and I would get to spend time with his daughters. Rooster was a very good man who would help anybody any way he could I know he will be greatly missed by his loved ones, but I bet him and Pappy are having quite a reunion upstairs. My love and prayers go out to all his family and loved ones.
