of Columbia, SC went to be with our Lord on Saturday, June 5, 2010. He was a 69 year-old Vietnam Veteran and a retired Richland County School District employee. A beloved Husband, Father, Grandfather, Great-Grandfather, Brother and Friend leaves behind 6 children, 14 grandchildren and 8 great-grandchildren. My father's sense of humor, love for his children and animals will be sorely missed by his family.

Dad, Eric and I were laughing about yours and my "love of animals". I guess it is conditional, thot you would appreciate this. His story reminded me of one Kristal tells about me. I love you!

Dad, I will miss you the mostest of your kids. I have to tell the Navy no more deployments, because my greatest supporter won't be keeping the home fires burning for me. I love you so much and am grateful that you were my Dad. Rest in Peace.

Dad~
It's been a pleasure having you as my one and only father-in-law, who taught me how to appreciate simplicity as life's most value asset, patience for those that haven't worn your shoes, and love for those that haven't walked your journey. I will forever be blessed by your guidance. Be sure to say hello and tip a beer with my two brothers (Mark & Mike Pettiette) in heaven. Don't get into too much trouble either with our beloved friend, Jon Lang. Your daughter in law, Shel Gray

You left this earth too soon, but I know you wanted to see Alicia. With the two of you up there, the angels won't stop laughing. Your children and grandchildren will miss you. Ginger
