Granddaddy When God created Granddads, He had some things in mind. He had to be warm and strong, And funny, smart and kind. And brave and understanding too, all of these things combined. Of all of the Granddads on God’s great earth, I feel so blessed that you are mine. He was preceded in death by his son Dale Cowart, mother Lola Cowart, father Doyel Cowart, brother Gary Cowart, and sisters LaNell Ford, Velma Meeks, and Bobbie Jean Prestridge.
