William Hitch Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
He is survived by five children: Lisa Allen, Ricky Hitch (Susan), Melissa Rodgers, Virginia Pennington (Clyde) and Tracy Hitch; 12 grandchildren; several great grandchildren; a stepdaughter: Judy Walden; as well as many friends.
He made a career of truck driving, often telling his children and grandchildren stories of the road. He fished Green River, making his own homemade bait, and often bringing along his grandchildren. He loved Red Man chewing tobacco, whittling, Westerns, Andy Griffith, Leave it to Beaver, and aggravating his son Wendell. You could often find him spending time outside talking to his neighbors with his little dog in his lap.
His final days were spent surrounded by his children and grandchildren as they shared stories about his life.
There will be a funeral service to honor Chubby's life on Tuesday, November 12, 2024 at 1:00 PM in the chapel of the L.R. Petty Funeral Home, 1765 New Columbia Rd, Campbellsville. Bro. Richard Carroll will officiate. He will be laid to rest in Mt. Carmel Methodist Church Cemetery in Adair County.
The family will receive friends at the funeral home on Tuesday, Nov. 12, from 10:00 AM until time for the service.
