There are no words to express the totality of the loss to our family. Dad was the true epitome of a family man, always putting us first and leaving us without a doubt of how very much he loved us. We were so fortunate to call him ours and will spend the remainder of our lives honoring his legacy.

The family would like to express our sincere gratitude to Emogene Dolin Hospice House for the dignified care provided.

Funeral service will be 11 a.m. Friday at Slack and Wallace Funeral Home, South Point, with Pastor Ken Martin officiating. Visitation will be one hour prior to the service at the funeral home.
