My Sweet Daddy by Darlene Dunagan Scruggs

My sweet daddy, L. C. Dunagan, Jr., would have been 94 years old today. Daddy died way too young at the age of 62. I have been without him for almost as many years as I had him in my life.
He was one of my favorite people on this earth and always will be. He was also one of the best people I have ever known! He always saw the good in others and taught me to do the same. He loved his family, he loved his friends, and he loved his country! He always had a joke to tell, a tune to whistle, and a smile on his face. He and his siblings had a great sense of humor and a great love for laughter. They passed that legacy down to each of their children. Today when the Dunagan's gather you can bet there will be a lot of laughter. We can laugh the loudest, the longest, and the hardest. I may have been without him a long time but I will never be without the lessons that he taught me, nor the love that he gave me, or the wisdom that I have because of the man that he was. Happy Birthday Daddy! Thanks for the memories!!
