Thursday, September 24 2020

We were saddened to hear the news of  Roy "Shag Daddy" Childress as many of his friends began to share their memories throughout social media pages. We send our condolences to the Childress family, the shag community and to his friends. Once service information has been shared we will be sure to update you with that information. In a post shared on the Burlington Shag Club page, his family wrote: "Dad spend his last hours doing what he loved. He loved his shag family and you all loved our "Shag Daddy" And we thank you all for that."
