Funeral services will be held Sunday, Aug. 6, at 1 p.m. in Morrison Funeral Home Chapel. Burial will follow in Pioneer Cemetery under the direction of Morrison Funeral Home.  Those who knew W.K. knew how full of love, life and much laughter he was. He was a great story teller who always made time for a story and learning more about others. His favorite pastime was entertaining family and friends and being a "self-proclaimed" tour guide in the Colorado Rocky Mountains.  W.K. was an auctioneer for 30 years, and he always entertained his crowd with his knowledgeable stories with his own touch of humor. “It’s only money, you can make more tomorrow.” He was also a bus driver for Graham ISD for 15-plus years. He truly enjoyed and cared for all his riders.  W.K. will always be remembered for his beautiful photography and love of nature as well as his historical knowledge, and of course, his "Roscoe's Tidbits."  W.K. is survived by his loving wife of 33 years, Vickye Smith. He is also survived by a son, Jason Smith and wife, Michelle; two daughters, Amy Moore and husband, Gary, and Karen Podgorski and husband, Wade; grandchildren, Vanessa Montano and husband, Eric, Dustin Smith and wife, Kathy, Justin Smith, Brittany Smith, Ashley Todd and husband, Andrew, Jennifer Rhoten and husband, Josh, Rowdy Moore, Tommy Moore, Toby Moore, Brooklyn Moore, Brayden Moore, Katie Noles and husband, David, and Zachary Podgorski; and great-grandchildren, Dominick, Zander, Jackson, Alexandria, Adyson, Hunter, Lizzie, Daisy, Bentley, and Ayden, aka Crash.
