Mr. Vaughn loved and adored his family. He was a happy and proud father, grandfather, and great grandfather who radiated love in their presence. His joys included living his life next to his only daughter, Vickie, raising grandkids, planting flowers, visiting with old friends, singing, whistling, storytelling, fishing, and boating. He possessed a phenomenal ability to weave a story full of detail and memories. He retired from Lee Brass with 42 years of service. If you were part of his life, you know he lived it with passion, joy, and love.
Family request due to Covid that everyone wear masks.
