From Sherrie Davis:
Earl "Who" Gorham's Father died this weekend. The funeral will be held Tuesday morning at Cashner's in Conroe. Here is the directions from Earl for attending this funeral.
Cashner's Funeral Home
801 Teas Road
Conroe Texas
To get there take I-45 north through Conroe past the exit to loop 336 on the north side of Conroe. The next exit will be Fm 3083 / Teas Nursery Rd Take this exit and turn right at the Stoplight.
The funeral home and cemetary will be on the left side of the road about 200 yards or so from the stoplight.
The church my older brother attends will be providing a lunch at thier church afterwards.
The graveside will be at the mausoleum in the cemetary behind the home and chapel.
Some of the more tenured cooks may remember my father as Budda's best Chili team. He started cooking the same time as I did in 1976 and cooked until 1982 when he moved on to other hobbies.
I will have my cell phone with me until the services start for anyone needing help. 713-724-5736.
This exit is the same one that you used to get to Texas Open when we held it at the fairgrounds.
NOTE: At this time I do not have the time of the funeral or his name. If I get this later today, I will make another post with that information.
