Dad taught us how important it was to commit yourself to the life you wanted to live. On Sunday, we would always find ourselves outdoors, hiking at Oak Mountain or riding our bikes. Going to work with him on Saturdays to help with odd jobs and watch Saturday morning cartoons in the office once I was done. I am thankful for all the trips with mom and him to the races as a child. He was a man of dedication and hard work, but he always managed to make time for those he cared for.

“My father was a great man, who gave his family a life full of stories. The worst part for us girls is that Daddy, being a health nut, he would not let us eat the donuts!” David Mullins, son He always said his beautiful girls could sell Holy Water to the Pope. After selling all of the donuts, we would go to church. “On a few Sunday mornings, my mom would have my sisters and myself dressed in our Sunday best for Daddy to drive us around to nearby apartment complexes to sell donuts in order to help raise money for whatever car part Daddy needed for the race car. I knew I would win that challenge because I waited until he fell asleep! Miss and love you.” He would say, ‘Who can keep their legs up three inches from the floor and hold them the longest? Who could do the most one-legged squats? Who could do the most squat jumps, or who could jump rope the longest? Who could do the most sit ups”? One day he said, ‘Who can pull his fingers back?” Whoever won his challenges would get $50. Daddy also won that bet.ĭaddy always kept us four girls competitive. As he was leaving another guy asked to arm wrestle for $50. A few of the guys wanted to go against Daddy as well. Daddy says, ’What’s the bet?’ He always needed extra money for his motorcycles or dragsters. One of the guys said he could out-bench press Daddy. He was lifting weights with the football players one day. He told me a story about when he went to school at Auburn. Or he had found me.” Cindy Lindell, daughter But, unbeknownst to me at that time, I had found one.
I was definitely not looking for a man to add to my life. “I had been happily divorced for over 20 years. When Bill called a couple weeks later and asked me out to dinner, I was happy to say Yes. On top of that, he had vacuumed the car, so that it looked better than when I brought it in. You couldn't tell there has been any damage. That was when I really started to like him.

The day I took my car in, to Mullins Car Service, Bill handed me the keys to the old red Cadillac he had been driving when he sideswiped me. He offered to loan me a car while he had mine. “Later, I decided I would trust Bill to fix the damage to my car.
