A Sudden Loss at Walnut Ridge

It’s with sad hearts that we let all of our customers know that our longest tenure employee, Ike Humes – truly he had become a part of our family – has passed away. He was our first employee here at Walnut Ridge, starting in our first year in 1996. If you’ve purchased from us in the past, had service work done on your RV, or needed your RV moved in the campground, no doubt Ike had a hand in it.  Obituary to follow:
