Mr. Wallace retired from the WV Department of Highways where he was known for always being willing to help anyone. He was always seen cleaning up our local highways. He had a heart as big as Texas and was a Dallas Cowboy fan. He loved fishing and touring our beautiful state of West Virginia. He loved trains, Cass Railroad, train rides and visiting Black Water Falls. He loved his canine buddy “Freeway”. He never missed a birthday of anyone in his family and it was a large one. He graduated from Victory High School in 1968 and was a member of the Clarksburg Eagles and American Legion for many years.
