Bud Crevasse, an 87-year-old resident of Alexian Village on Signal Mountain, has been worried ever since he found a tiny gold pendant on the ground last month.
The bauble he discovered in a supermarket parking lot is small, about the size of a vitamin tablet. It has a butterfly on one side and an engraving on the other side that reads “Jack.”
“I realize this might be precious to someone,” Crevasse, a retired TVA employee, said in an interview at Alexian earlier this week. “I’ve heard people talk about taking the ashes of a loved one and wearing them on a necklace.”
