Flaco

A lot of folks don’t know that in his younger days, they called him Flaco,
He could pitch that ball and make it curve so fine,
He’d tell you a joke or spin a story every chance he’d get to all the little muchachos,
But He’d go the distance for his family for they were his core and his design.

You just had to know Flaco and Letty
For they surely were a pair.
The jokes between them both, they’d have everyone laughing,
They would treat you like kings in their house, they had such a flair!

Now Letty had passed a short time so you see
And Flaco he missed her so much, everyone would agree.
Didn’t you know that life to him then, I’m sure, just didn’t seem fair,
Without his Queen at his side, he just didn’t seem square.

Flaco was somehow closer than family to me but we had no blood relation,
For this giant of a Man was so caring, and so true.
Flaco and Letty were truly a blessing, and I’m sure there is quite a celebration,
For both Flaco & Letty are both dancing in Heaven tonight, and we all know that’s what THEY wanted – for sure!

His name was Jesse Hall, but in his younger days they called him Flaco.
