Don Duncan, Papa 1998

We lost Papa Don on September 21, 2017. All who knew him will miss him. Prayers and condolences to Don’s family.

Carlie Coley, Papa 2000

Carlie Coley knows a thing or two about having patience to achieve a goal. Five years might seem like a long time to spend before gaining the Hemingway Look-Alike Contest’s top honor, but he’s a patient soul.

Bob Doughty, Papa 2005

We will all miss Papa Bob Doughty, winner of the 2005 contest. Bob was usually pretty quiet unless you drew him out a little. If you did so, you were rewarded with his great sense of humor. Randy – we look forward to seeing you again this year.

Larry Austin, Papa 2007

Larry Austin passed away on November 5, 2019. Larry will be missed so much by so many; especially for his great sense of humor, kindness, and generosity. Anyone that knew Larry loved him. He was a Hemingway look alike winner in 2007 – PAPA LARRY. He owned his own insurance agency for 27 years in Clearwater, FL, delivered Meals On Wheels for the elderly for 2+ years & loved to play golf.

Papa Charlie Bicht, Papa 2010

Oh, Charlie, we were all so looking forward to seeing you. Now, suddenly, you are gone. We will miss you, old friend.

Jen – Our hearts and prayers go out to you and your family on this sad day.
