He is survived by his wife of 60 years, Betty Heaton Bowers; daughters, Roffee (Mike) Lamb and Jullee Bailey; sisters, Jean Jamison and Ruby (John) Massey and brother, Robert Bowers; grandchildren, Brad Lamb, Michael (Catlyn) Lamb, Neal Bailey, Jeannie Beth (Tommy) Griffith, and Andrew (Megan) Lamb, Greg Lamb, and Timothy Lamb; great-grandchildren, Addison Lamb and Eli Griffith.
