He was predeceased by his beloved wife, Mildred. He was a loving and devoted father to his two daughters, Candice (Paul) Rogers and Holly (John) Anderson (121 St. Andrews Way, Greenville, SC 29607). Also surviving are his grandchildren Legan (Mark) Featherstone, Brian and Kerri Rogers; great-grandchildren Cameron and Christopher Rogers, Ethan Rogers and Hayden Featherstone, many close friends and riding partners.
