R.F. Wimpy

Mr. R.F. Wimpy, age 94, of Dahlonega, passed away Wednesday, August 31, 2022.

Mr. Wimpy was a native and lifelong resident of Lumpkin County.  He was born on July 12, 1928, to the late Raleigh and Cona Grizzle Wimpy. In addition to his parents, Mr. Wimpy was preceded in death by his brothers Edward Wimpy, John C. Wimpy, and James Allen Head. He served honorably in The United States Army during the Korean War.  Mr. Wimpy recently was a proud recipient of a quilt of valor that was presented to him by the Dahlonega VFW.  He retired after forty-two years of dedicated work for Georgia Power.  

Mr. Wimpy was a lifelong, faithful, and oldest member of Concord Baptist Church.  He was an avid hunter and fisher.  Among all his accomplishments, those that rose to the top were him being a faithful and loving husband, father, and grandfather.  Mr. Wimpy was endeared and loved by his church family and many friends.  He will be greatly missed.
