John Wayne Register, Sr, passed away peacefully Monday, April 26, 2021 at home. He followed in his dad’s footsteps by working at the Newport News Shipyard. At 26, he was the owner of the Sunoco Service Station in Hidenwood for 17 years. His next 25 years was spent as a commercial fisherman going after clams. He even built and used his own Chesapeake Bay Deadrise, “Sparkey”. As a retiree he enjoyed helping his son, Billy, in his lawn care business. He was an especially thankful, caring, helpful and cheerful person and we will miss him.
