JOHN DILLARD CARTE’S SHORT STORY

He was one of the best Truckers to ever get behind the wheel of a big rig and roll wheels on

the highway, one of his favorite sayings was “I ain’t been down that road before!” when he

crossed a new way. He was proud of what he did for a living. Good looking and very loving man in

his way. He always had a helping hand for those in need until he was physically unable. H is

greatest love was his animals and to travel around his community and see what needed doing

and just visiting with the neighbors. He loved to sing with the Grand Ole Oprey on the radio.

Some of his favorites are Big Iron by Marty Robbins, Ring of Fire, Old Dogs, Children &

Watermelon Wine, just to name a few. He is now in the arms of Jesus and those loved ones who

have gone on before him. We love him and will m iss him greatly.

Perhaps Today

Perhaps at cool of morning when

The day is breaking light;

Perhaps at noontide's hour, or

'Midst gathering shades of night

I'll see a burst of glory, and

The angel's voice I'll hear;

The trumpet's golden throat will sound

The summons loud and clear!

Then suddenly - I'll see the Lord!

I'll meet Him face to face...

The Lord of all the universe

The Lord of truth and grace!

My cup of bliss will overflow;

I'll see Him as He is!

What joy to place my hand within

That nail-scarred hand of His!

Perhaps today will be the day

I'll hear His welcomed voice!

Perhaps today I'll see the Lord

And evermore rejoice!
