One of his greatest joys was being “Papaw Coley” to his nine grandchildren: Kur Reynolds (Robbye Anne), Ky Reynolds (Casey), Taylor Hardy, Riley Hardy, Will Hardy, William Bagwell, Coley Bagwell, Dayton Bagwell, and Deacon Bagwell. He is also survived by his brother, Rodney Bagwell and wife Judy and sister-in-law Frances Bagwell all of Louisville.
