He worked for Woodstock then moved onto auto paint and body at various dealerships throughout Charleston for 25 years before he retired at Jones Ford. He loved to play bluegrass music on his guitar and banjo. His grandchildren along with great-grandchildren were his pride and joy. For those that knew him knew that he never met a stranger and loved telling stories and jokes. PePa also loved to go fishing and hunting when he was able to. The family would like to acknowledge Patrick and AJ for doing what needed to be done and never asking why. Visit our guestbook at www.legacy.com/obituaries/ charleston
