He loved playing guitar, singing at the family reunions, going on walks with Honey in Vilonia, playing with his grandkids & great grandkids, loved eating bologna sandwiches, zebra cakes and of course Jeannie’s pumpkin & banana nut breads. He was a very loving man who never met a stranger, was very outgoing, loved being outside, his smile & laugh could light up a room and he would give you the shirt off his back, he loved being surrounded by family & knew Jesus in his heart.

A Celebration of life will be announced to the family soon.

Dad, you will be in our hearts forever, Love Kristy & Tony
