This is the legacy he left to each one of us UNCONDITIONAL LOVE.Much loved dad to Joan, Karen (Rick) Clayfield, Douglas (Sharon), Russell (Debbie), Ronald, Judy (Daniel) Yearwood, Thomas (Toni) and John (Peggy). Poppa to 20 grandchildren and their spouses, each who have wonderful memories of their Poppa. Great-Poppa to 22 great grandchildren who brought him so much joy. Dad, each one of us had our special time with you to say our goodbyes, and to let you know how much you are loved. We all, Poppa, will celebrate the memories made and the times we cherish with a man who always provided unconditional love.
