I wonder if the funeral procession in Lynchburg will pass by my plot of land and those of other fellow Tennessee Squires.
RIP, sir.

NYT obit was excellent. As the distiller, he had to try all the new batches to make sure they matched the original. He would sip and spit it out, never swallowing.

I've got about a half-dozen bottles signed by him....

And the Distillery sent me a picture a couple of weeks ago of my plot as a Squire... I wonder which square inch it was...

I met that guy before the Bristol Busch race a few years ago - he was signing autographed posters with some cute young Jack Daniels girl at his side.
RIP.

I got one, too.
I also once got a check for a dime, because somebody found a fishing worm on my property and they figured I owned the fishing worm rights.
