RIP Mr. Jennings Osborn

 Unfortunately, I only met Jennings Osborn once, but he's not easily forgotten. He was a very down to earth person that really enjoyed making others happy. For years, I took my kids by his house on Cantrell Road to look at the lights-even when traffic was bad and his neighbors were complaining-but it was such a sight to see. Later, he sponsored the "Every Man's BBQ" down on the river-and it was something to see too. Lots of great people having a good time all because one man like to see others happy. So tonight when I get home around 2 am I'm turning on my Christmas lights in his honor and I know if I look up he'll be smiling.
