My Papaw (Aron Roy Estes) passed away Thursday March 29. My Pawpaw was my Dad's Dad. He lived in Cave City on Matlock Rd my entire life. My Dad and his family lived in Kansas City when my Dad was going up, but they all moved to AR when my Dad was grown. Pawpaw was 88 years old when he passed away.
He loved wearing baseball caps particularly Arkansas hats (and now Vandy and Duke hats as well). He woke up very early every morning and went to bed shortly after Wheel of Fortune.
He loved his family. He was very close to both of his children. My Dad visited with him every day for as long as I can remember.
He will be greatly missed. He had a sweet sense of humor. Dad was always trying to get him to buy a hearing aid and last Christmas when Dad couldn't hear into the living from from the kitchen he said under his breath, "You need to get a hearing aid."
What a blessing to have spent my entire childhood with all four of my grandparents. We all loved my Papaw. Dane and I were blessed to be able to go home last weekend to celebrate his life with my family. It was wonderful to see my parents and hug my Dad.
