Sad to hear that Red passed away, he was such a wonderful person. Red and June had been friends with my family for many years. June even took care of my Grandpa when she worked for Hospice. I can see those coffee shop days like they were yesterday. You would always know when Red walked through the door, always full of cheerful energy. My Dad and Grandma would often visit with him in the coffee shop as well. Hopefully there's a big table and plenty of coffee for those that are no longer with us. My condolences to June and her family

I remember my husband, Joe and I went on a weekend trip to Santa Fe with June and Red, .We stopped in went inside The Lorreto Chapel. Took a tour of the art district in Santa Fe. We took multiple trips together would go to a casino and go eat crab legs. My husband, Joe, and Red are together and heaven now. They were like two peas in a pod, funny, kind and loving. Never knew what was gonna come out of either one of their mouth. Red will be truly missed.😢
Red was one to look up to in so many ways.
I remember he and my Uncle DeJuan Strickland as young men. Both were bigger than life in my eyes. I likened them to John Wayne and Clint Eastwood. Loy and DeJuan grew up together in Floyd County, Texas. Which one of these Lockney Graduates, both born in 1934 in the West Texas Dust, could take the other? I was never told other than they never fought. My suspicion is that these close friends and then cousins (through marriage-June Davis) would have dropped their dueling pistols and shook hands.
Loy Davis was also a friend to both of us, Pamela Ann McGregor and James Russell McGregor (Strickland). He took pride in watching over the Clarendon home of my grandparents, Clarence and Eddie Strickland, and their Howardwick property. He gave Pam the keys to the Strickland Olds 98 and told her to take it for a ride in 2013. We did. Thank you Red! I have many cherished memories of you! It was sure an honor to know you and you are missed dearly already. Thanks for all the coffee :) God Bless,
Love to June,
Russell and Pamela
