Honorary Pallbearers will be Doug Woodson, Bobby Phillips, Rick Herod, Dave Hall, Cliff Presley, Jim Kline, and John Rippy, Jr. Whether he answered to Daddy, Grandnana, Gaga, or Grandaddy, one thing was always true–he loved his family more than anything. More than golf, more than Vanderbilt or the Titans, more than Reese’s peanut butter cups, his family was first. His wit and pride in dressing well was unmatched, and he was a fierce friend. His love of sports was contagious and no one could leave his home before laughing at one of his stories. His dedication to his faith and our family will be felt for generations to come. Funeral Services will be conducted 12:00 P.M., Friday, November 4, 2022 at Goodlettsville Church, 226 S. Main Street in Goodlettsville. Interment will follow in White House Memorial Gardens. Visitation with the family will be on Thursday from 4:00 - 7:00 P.M. and Friday from 10:00 A.M., both at the church.
