There was a whole other side of his family, not mentioned in this obituary, that will greatly miss him. 40 years of going to flea markets, auctions and trips to North Vernon will last me for the rest of my life. I’m thankful for the love he showed my grandmother and her 4 children Karla, Kris, Karen and Jerry, 7 grandkids, Nathan, Keith, Ryan, Breona, Adam, Grace and Josh and numerous great-grandkids!! You will be missed and thought about often! Glad you were finally at peace and able to be with Grandma Oatey again!
