Rowe in Augusta, Ga. i He was educated in the Richmond County School System and later moved to Wrens, Ga. with his wife. Peanut , as he was favorably known, worked at many types of employment until he could no longer work due to his Illness. "Peanut" was always humble with a great sense of humor. His favorite past time was visiting his best friend, Billy Griffin playing cards and talking about his two grandchildren, whom he dearly loved. On May 9, 20101peacefully left this earth to go home to be with my heavenlyfather, so please don't say I gave up............just say "I gave in ". Don t say I lost the battle....................... it was God's war to lose or win. Oh yes, a major part o f us is gone, a voice we loved, we can hear no more. A missing link from our home is gone, which can never be replaced. Your memory will never be forgotten for you will always remain in our hearts. He leaves to cherish his memories his wife, Mattie B.
