He is survived by his 4 children; James, Linda, Kimberlee and Woody as well as his 18 grandchildren, 24 great grandchildren and 4 great great grandchildren. He was a man of God and loved to camp at the Holiday Inn. Grandpa never met a stranger and you could always find at the flea market. Dressed in his overalls and straw hats, selling his tools and cast iron as he sat under an umbrella. His laugh and stories were food for the soul. Everyone always knew him as grandpa and he always kept the cookie jar stocked for all of the kids.
Grandpa loved to live life and lived to love.
