Croyle, whom he married Nov. 3, 1978; a son, Bill Paige Davis of Raleigh, N.C.; a daughter, Fawn Chris Buck of Yucca Valley, Calif.; four grandchildren, Natalie Mann of Akron, Gabi Mann of Marion, Sydney Buck and Dillon Buck of Yucca Valley; a great-grandson, Clayton Kendall of Akron; a sister, Nita Warnie Conley of Virginia Beach, Va.; and numerous nieces, nephews and cousins.
