I am truly sorry to hear of Ezell's passing. I used to chat with him at Piggly Wiggly when I was a kid. He let my Dad and I fish at some of his catfish ponds. He was an awesome person and will be missed. My condolences to the family.

I'm sorry for your loss. Ezell was a sweet man. I would wave to him when he was at the house on Jennings Road. He was a hard working man. Ezell will be missed. "RIP, My friend!"
