DeWayne was once the proud owner of the downtown Phillips 66 Station. He retired from the Arkansas State Highway Department in 2001. He was an avid carpenter and spent the majority of his retirement mowing lawns for his lawn mowing business, which is what he enjoyed doing most. He never met a stranger. He loved and enjoyed his family and friends. DeWayne will be greatly missed by those who knew him.

We had the honor of calling Corky a friend for over 50+ years. Since he and Hoot worked together at Bill Johnson’s 66 Station. He was one of the best. Sympathy to each of you, may God grant you peace and comfort during this time.

Cousin Garry mentioned the Ozark Drive in and you taking him to work. I remember me and Tim Crain trying to sneak in, the Ozark Drive in and you caught us every time. You gave me a choose, "pay or have Mom or Dad come pick us up." I always paid. I'm going to miss you Corky. Heaven is lucky to have you. Tell our family I said hi.
