Dear Rebecca and family,
We are so saddened to hear of Nolans passing. Zilla and I enjoyed breakfast with Wayne the
last day of the Pigeon Forge reunion. We talked of many things, -Hof, years gone by, his joy
of family and boating, his wanting to have us visit to share in this joy of his. And just under the surface
quiet and serious side of “Creek” was his zest for living and his love of family and his life. The pure joy shined through! We will hold that
in our memory, thoughts and prayers for each of you. God Bless you.
Rick & Brenda Creekmore says
