James Marvin Plash

Mr. Plash is survived by his wife of 67 years, Ramona “Dit” Blackwell Plash; four sons, Duane (Carolyn Buckley), Drew (Rosanne Reynolds), Paige (Carolyn Lundy), and Rhett (Patty Yvette); 13 grandchildren, and six great-grandchildren. He is also survived by a sister, Norma Plash Wenzel, and a brother, Floyd Douglas “Buck” Plash (Carolyn Miller).

Mr. Plash was a veteran of World War II, serving on the U.S.S. California from 1944-46, moving to Mobile afterwards. He was an avid sports fan with an uncanny ability to predict the outcome of the World Series early in the season.
