Tap was born to a family of 12 in Union Church, Mississippi where he grew up farming.  He married Lenora Walker and moved to West Monroe, LA. where he worked for Olin Kraft for 30 years. Together they raised 4 children.  His retirement years were spent gardening, traveling and enjoying his family.  He was always ready for a new adventure and when asked if he wanted 'to go', whether it be a short drive or to Disney World, he would perk up and say "lets go".   Tap loved life and when asked if he needed anything, he would always grin and say "just a little more time".<br />
