Mr. R.W. Goins

Life can be lonely when you are on the open road. A million plus more miles traveled, he was a truck driver you know. You have logged your last journey and your family you will see, but not your earthly family, this time it was not meant to be. We will miss you terribly, but one thing we all know, you are with Jesus, on a different kind of road.

RW Goins, age 74 passed away at the Joan and Howard Woltz Hospice Home in Dobson, NC on Tuesday, May 16th 2017 after a five year battle with bladder cancer.

Born on March 21st, 1943, he was the second born child of Walter Robert and Myrtle Padgett Goins.

He was an avid fisherman, hunter, golfer, and as long as he was able, he loved antiquing with his wife. He loved the beach, traveling and riding his dog Buzz around the community.

RW worked for 17 years at JP Stevens United Elastic Plant before leaving to farm and pursue a career later as a truck driver. He retired from Roadway Express in Kernersville after 23 years as a driver. During his career there, he logged nearly 2 million miles accident free.
