He is survived by his son, William and wife Judy; two brothers, Michael and Tony; two sisters Michele and Shannon; brother-in-law, Kenny and many nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.
In his younger years he was an avid fisherman, loved the lake and mountain streams. Nascar was his sport; a true Bill Elliott fan he was. Work was his passion ,10hrs/7 days a week; hard- working man. He loved his work of bringing it back to the way it was. David, Pops, lil’ brother , BoBo , DayDay or whatever his name was to you when he left your presence, his right hand was in the air with that never forgetting little grin on his face he would utter the words to you “LATER “.
Tharp Funeral Home, Lynchburg, is assisting the family.
