CJ attended Murphy’s School and Pifer Mountain School. He had worked in timber, as a coal miner and as a self-employed contractor. He enjoyed hunting, fishing, working on his farm, country and gospel music. He loved his family and was a loving husband, father, brother and friend to all. He was a “true dag gone WV boy” all the way through.
