Deborah Gibson Deguire…sold him peanuts at A&M Peanut Shop in downtown. (WIlson) didn’t have much, just a picnic basket filled with sacks of peanuts.

“He’d come about every two weeks and get about 26 pounds from us and he go and sell them at the corner. Sometimes in his younger days, he’d walk down here all the way from the loop usually pulling a red wagon, but in his later days as he didn’t quite feel like walking he’d have someone come and pick them up for him,” said A&M Peanut Shop Owner Deborah DeGuire.

Sheila Hagler said, “He was a sweet little man that was trying to find his place in the world and that’s all he wanted.”
