"Squirrel" will be remembered for his larger-than-life personality, handing out nicknames to everyone he met, dedication to public service, volunteering in his community, and unwavering love of his family. He spent his best days on the water or on a ballfield and had a gift for making everyone feel welcome and appreciated. Whether he was hollering from the dugout while coaching his grandsons, chatting everyone up at the local gas stations, or waving at everyone in town while riding along with his sidekick Archie. In addition to his wife, he is survived by his daughters, Hope Shelters (T.J.), Versailles, and Mandy Howard (Matt), Versailles; his sister, Decima Osborne, Versailles; and his grandchildren, Wyatt Edward, Walker James, Westin Carl, Carter Guillaume, and Ellie Guillaume.
