Survivors include his loving daughter, Jennifer (Tommy) Andrews; grandchildren, Abbie Andrews, Thomas (Starr) Andrews III, James (Emily) Andrews, Carlee Smith, Alexis (Rance) Smith; numerous great-grandchildren, and one great-great-grandchild. Truman also leaves behind his very special friend, Greg Black; along with nieces and nephews, Billie Jean Dillard, Steve Hughes, Kathy Weatherspoon; and several great-nieces and great-nephews.
