Joe Mack Pratt was my first cousin.  When we were children, his family lived very close to us and we spent a lot of time dancing to the music of the 1950's in my living room.  His father distributed 45 records to many of the juke boxes in Fort Smith during those years, so we always had plenty of good music to listen to.  He was one of the greatest influences in my young years.  He was always gentle, kind and spoke negatively of no one.  He will be missed, but the wonderful memories will be with me until my dying days.  I love you Joe Mack!
