He never met a stranger and always lit up the room with his humor, his charm and his heart. He enjoyed hunting, fishing, and sports - Go Tigers!! He would be totally embarrassed that we are even talking about him, but the only reason he kept getting the boring paper was for the obituaries ߘŠ In lieu of flowers, please consider donating to his grandchildren, c/o Carly Lineberry, PO Box 125 Pauline, SC 29374; or to the charity of your choice. The families are at their homes. A celebration of life will be held at a later date.
