Arrangements are by N.S. Griggs & Sons Funeral Directors, 2615 Paramount Blvd. Mr. Vandiver served as a technical sergeant with the 234th Army Air Force Base Unit. His unit was awarded the Eame Ribbon with a bronze star for their overseas campaign in Northern France. He owned and operated Lone Star Auto Radio Repair Service from 1965 to 1995. He was a former member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post No. 1475. He will be fondly remembered for his compassion and kindness to friends and strangers, his unsurpassed popcorn-making abilities and especially his use of household-cleaning ingredients as everyday remedies for aches and pains. He was preceded in death by his wife, Elaine Renfroe Vandiver, on May 1, 2001. Survivors include a daughter, Vikki Vandiver of Portland; a stepdaughter, Barbara Gwin of Houston; a sister-in-law, Edith Burnam of Amarillo; two grandchildren, Terry Marquez of Houston and Sean Gwin of Sachse; four great-grandchildren, Josh Gwin, Rosa Gwin, Stephanie Gwin and Robert Gwin; two nieces, Jody Wilhite of Amarillo and Jackie Cooper of Santa Fe, N.M.; and an entire neighborhood of friends turned family. The family suggests, in lieu of flowers, memorials be to BSA Hospice, P.O. Box 950, Amarillo, TX 79176. (Published in The Amarillo Globe-News on May 26, 2003)
