Those left to treasure his memory include his loving wife of forty-one years, Paula Souther; sons, Cody Souther and Bryan Souther both of Ellenboro; brother, Steve Souther (Brenda) of Palm Coast, FL; sisters, Evelyn Kay Thompson and Carolyn Ann Peay both of Ellenboro; granddaughters, Callie, Paisley and Daisy; niece, Kimberly Ann Fotiathis of Ellenboro and a nephew, Doug Souther of Virginia.
