      OBITUARY

      From Find A Grave

      Mr. J.T. Bolding, 80, husband of Charlotte A. Bolding, of Modest Town, passed away on July 27, 2015, at his residence.

      Born on September 21, 1934, in Shortts Gap, VA, he was the son of the late Vernon Dewitt Bolding and Arcie Honaker Bolding. J.T. served in the U.S. Air Force in France and Libya during the Korean War and was an insurance agent with Home Beneficial Life Insurance Company for many years. He was a charter member of the Eastern Shore Anglers Club, a National U.S. Surfcasting champion, and a deacon and former men?s Sunday School teacher at Modest Town Baptist Church.

      J.T. was known for his quick smile, his jovial nature, and his unwavering faith in Jesus as his Savior. Although a native of the mountains of Virginia, the beaches of the Eastern Shore became his true home. Under the guidance of Filmore Bundick and Wilson Wessells when J.T. first came to the Shore, he became an expert fisherman and shared his passion for surf fishing with people from all over the country.

      Other than his wife, Charlotte, J.T. is survived by a daughter, Tammy B. Parks and husband, Marshall, of Modest Town; a son, Robert D. Bolding, of Modest Town; two sisters, Helen B. Talbot of Lexington, VA, and Ruby B. Thorpe and husband, George, of Franklin, TN; a grandson, Eric L. Bolding, of Pocomoke; three great-grandchildren, Angel, E.J and Jaden Bolding; a sister-in-law, Betsy Y. Whealton and husband, Howard; and three nephews, Spencer Whealton, Vernon Neese and Gregory Neese.

      Other than his parents, he was preceded in death by his nephew James B. "Jim" Neese and niece Kaye N. Henderson.

      A funeral service will be held on Thursday, July 30th, at 3:00 PM from the Modest Town Baptist Church with Rev. John Cullop officiating. Interment will follow in the Modest Town Baptist Cemetery.
