Dad was a life-long carpenter by trade building houses for Ronald Warren Properties for 20 years and then with TVA for 20 years. Dad’s passion was crappie fishing, spending time on the river, and was periodically the song leader for over 40 years at church. A favorite family memory was singing in the car with his family going to and from church. Daddy will love the beautiful singing in Heaven. Until we meet again Paw Paw, we love you!
