He was a member of the Gethsemane United Methodist Church, Allport where he was on the Board of Trustees. He enjoyed many years of serving at the church dinners. He enjoyed hunting, and loved to telling jokes and funny stories which is how he got the nickname "Josh". He loved spending time with his grandchildren and great-grandchildren. He enjoyed gardening and spending time outdoors. After his retirement from the former Al Hamilton's Coal Company, Woodland, for which he worked 25 years, he did janitorial work at the church where everyone enjoyed his company and he enjoyed theirs as well.

There will be no public visitation.

A memorial service will be announced at a later date at the convenience of the family.

Strange & Weaver Funeral Service, Morrisdale, is in charge of the arrangements.
