Von was born and raised in Tennessee. He graduated from Powell High School. Von married his high school sweetheart and the love of his life, Lucy Miller on January 26, 1956. He lived a full and active life. He loved his family passionately. He was a heavy-duty truck parts salesman as well as having owned Kennesaw Truck Parts & Service before selling out to Mack Trucks. He enjoyed fishing and camping and even began to play golf after retirement. He was proud of his "Hole in one" and always looked forward to each outing with his golfing buddies. He was a creative woodworker. In the shop he built, he would sculpt Ballpoint pens, build coat racks, walking sticks, and many other things. He could build anything out of a board, discarded furniture or even golf clubs and golf balls. He worked at the North GA State Fair, at the VIP gate, for about 12 years. He enjoyed meeting the performers and has a wall of autographed pictures and lots of stories to tell. He loved his Lady Vols Basetball and followed them each season. He also followed Lady Vols softball and went to as many games as he could. He was definitely a Tennessee fan.
He was proud of his family and they were very proud of him. They can say what a lot of people can't. He was a good man! He was well-liked by all who knew him.
Von's family wishes to extend our sincerest thanks for all the prayers and support they have received.

Von and Lucy have been our next door neighbors, more like family, for many years. He and I would gossip over the back yard fence or he would come in the backyard and we would sit and chat. He and Bob gardened together and shared woodworking projects.
We will miss him terribly.
Love,
Lynda and Bob Dockery

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always. Best Uncle a niece could have! I will never forget him answering the phone and asking me how his Yankee niece was doing. Loved him with all my heart. Prayers and love to all his family wish I could be there.
