Big Daddy is what his three grandchildren lovingly called him. It was his choice as they were growing up. His birth name was Luther Cain, Jr.. My dad. He was raised on a small dirt farm in Tennessee with his eight siblings by his mom and dad. They had just enough "dirt farm" to be able to live off the land. I can still remember visiting my grandparent's three-room farm house as a young kid, and wondering how they all lived in that small house. Dad told us some of them slept in the barn. That's how they lived and survived. Dad literally walked off that small farm at the age of 18 with just the clothes on his back. His dreams were bigger than that small farm. He eventually ended up working in Atlanta as a waiter in the executive dinning room of the Coca Cola Company, and later became the chauffeur and personal valet for the chairman and CEO of the company, Robert W. Woodruff. Dad excelled because of his work ethic, and his infectious and positive personality.
