 Mr. Remington was born in Wakefield, RI on April 20, 1947, to the late Donald Francis and Marguerite Evelyn Tefft Remington.

He settled down in the quiet little town of Samson, AL in 1982 and remained there until his death. Other than his military career, he farmed his entire life. His hobbies included going to auctions, scrapping, building race cars, riding around, and talking to everyone at Revels Farm. His biggest accomplishment was accepting Jesus as his Savior and Lord.
