Anyone who knew Tate has a special memory of him. I have many, but this is my personal favorite and one that exemplifies his personality! A few years ago he insisted on driving me to Roswell Hospital after a round of treatment. I left him in the waiting room while I visited the doctor. The clinic was crowded with several dozen people. When I returned to the waiting room he had "worked" the room, spoken to everyone there in the room, knew why they were there (visitor or patient), where they worked, their political leanings, and where they lived. When we left, they all knew his name and said good bye like they were long lost friends. We walked out of the room with me shaking my head and him just smiling! That was the kind of guy he was.
We were each lucky to be able to call him husband, dad, son, brother, neighbor, and friend! He will be remembered and will be missed.
Take care my friend until we meet again!!
