He is also survived by his loving aunt, Ruth Eastridge of Warrensville, and his uncle, Gwyn Jones of Cooleemee, NC, along with a host of other relatives and friends who will remember him fondly.

The family will receive friends from 11:00 am to 12:00 pm on Saturday, November 11, 2023 at Badger Funeral Home. A graveside service will follow in the Welch Cemetery in Warrensville by Rev. James Harris.

His presence will be deeply missed, but his memory will forever remain in the hearts of those who knew and loved him.
