He won many trips as the top salesman. Two of those trips were to Germany.
He is an Air Force Veteran. He enjoyed golf, boating and RV’ing. His family and friends always remember him as a talkative, funny, wise and well dressed man.
The Memorial is scheduled for: Sunday 31 July, 2022 at 740 Pistol Club Rd, Easley, SC. Reverend Barry Reel will officiate. His family would like to thank people for their texts and cards.
I have told so many people in my life who seemed to be at a low point in theirs, something he always said to me:
"Janie Bug, if I don't laugh, I'll cry."
Although I have not seen him in over 25-30 years, I have thought about him often.
Rest in Peace.

Blessings to Marsha and to all of the family,
