I had not lived hereabouts for long when I was invited by the Barnesville Bulldog Club to go on its first ever bus trip – a men only excursion that kicked off a series of legendary trips.

That inaugural journey was to Knoxville, Tennessee where some 40 of us had the privilege to watch as Herschel Walker pounded Bill Bates into dust en route to his first touchdown as a Dawg. I knew Chunky Shiver before the bus departed but became aware of his quick, caustic wit on the trip.

Great Scoop, just great about the "King of One liners".

Yes it is a shame about Chunky? He was a good guy. I am sure he will be missed.

Why was his obituary not updated in this paper? He was buried on Tuesday and the obit still says funeral arrangements pending!

Chunk was a great guy. My cousin and as stated so witty. He was a microcosm of Barnesville and what so great and good about small town America.
He loved his people, probably will have to spend time in both places to visit all his friends.

Someone told me recently that when other Barnesville people weren't so friendly toward him, Chunky made sure to include him and treat him kindly, especially in front of the unfriendly folks.
That, to me, speaks volumes about Chunky. I'm sorry I never got to meet him.
