He is survived by two daughters, Kimberly W. Allred, of Eatonton, and Haley Lane, of Tennessee; two sons, Craig Winfrey, and wife Samantha, of Dallas, TX, and Dusty Winfrey, of Madison; two brothers, Jeff Winfrey, and wife Gwen, of Rayle, and Scott Winfrey, also of Rayle; eight grandchildren, and one great grandchild.
