Survivors include four children, Gina (Don) Wray of Maumee; Randall Boley of Tiffin; Ashley Camera of Bellevue and Sarah Rice of Bellevue. A step-daughter, Cary Gallegos of Mishawaka, Indiana, along with his sister, Linda Collins also survive. Twenty one grandchildren and eleven great grandchildren survive as well.
