Von was born and raised in Tennessee. He graduated from Powell High School. Von married his high school sweetheart and the love of his life, Lucy Miller on January 26, 1956. He lived a full and active life. He loved his family passionately. He was a heavy duty truck parts salesman as well as having owned Kennesaw Truck Parts & Service before selling out to Mack Trucks. He enjoyed fishing and camping and even began to play golf after retirement. He was proud of his “Hole in one” and always looked forward to each outing with his golfing buddies. He was a creative wood worker. In the shop he built, he would sculpt Ballpoint pens, build coat racks, walking sticks, and many other things. He could build anything out of a board, discarded furniture or even golf clubs and golf balls. He worked at the North GA State Fair, at the VIP gate, for about 12 years. He enjoyed meeting the performers and has a wall of autographed pictures and lots of stories to tell. He loved his Lady Vols Basketball and followed them each season. He also followed Lady Vols softball and went to as many games as he could. He was definitely a Tennessee fan.
He was proud of his family and they were very proud of him. They can say what a lot of people can’t. He was a good man! He was well liked by all who knew him.
Von’s family wishes to extend our sincerest thanks for all the prayers and support they have received.
