He would say his biggest accomplishment was family and the way he lived his life around her and his four girls, his grandchildren and great grandchildren. He loved family gatherings, going to their events and cheering them all on at the many ball games he attended.

WK was a lifelong farmer, avid fisherman, hunter, 32nd degree Mason, Shriner, husband, father and a friend to all.  He never met a stranger and if you had a minute, he always had a handshake, a smile and a story to tell.  He had a laugh so contagious that you couldn't help but chuckle along with him.

WK loved to fish and that took him back to Petit Jean Mountain every chance he got.  It was a special place for him, his girls and entire family.  There were many memories made there that will never be forgotten.  When he wasn't at the mountain, he spent his time in his garden which was large enough to feed the neighborhood.

Over the years WK and June were blessed with 6 grandchildren.   Whitney (Sarah) Swims of Champaign, Il; Chad Fielder of Campbell, Mo; Tommy (Alison) Halstead of Portageville, Mo; David(Kim)Fielder of Campbell, Mo; Matthew Sharp, who proceeds him in death and Allison Sharp of Jonesboro, Ar.
