He was born in Blue Grass on April 11, 1930, a son of the late George Edward and Virgie Belle (Swecker) Colaw. He spent his youth working on the family farm, and his free time hunting. He was particularly passionate about hunting foxes, but he was also an avid deer and turkey hunter. A veteran of the U.S. Navy, Goog served in Korea from October 1950 to August 1954. On July 4, 1956 he married Anna Louise Rexrode in Moyers, WV, and the couple continued to run the family farm on Hardscrabble Road while raising their children. As an adult, Goog was the Highland County Special Game Warden and Animal Warden for over 30 years. He was a proud member of the Blue Grass Ruritans and the VFW, as well as the Highland Mixed Bowling League. He posed for many pictures as part of the League Champion bowling team! He could also often be found at his daughter's store, Blue Grass Mercantile, where he would happily argue politics, reminisce with old friends, or tell anyone who would listen how proud he was of his grandsons. While Goog was known for being extremely stubborn and strong-willed, the love he had for his family and his farm ran deep. He spent his entire life trying to better the lives of those he would leave behind, and he will be sorely missed by both his immediate family, and the entire community. In addition to his parents and wife, he was preceded in death by brothers, Cyrus, Paul and Wayne Colaw; and sisters, Rebecca Hull, Mary Ruddick and Virginia Curry. A graveside funeral will be held 2 p.m., Sunday, June 12, 2022 in Blue Grass Cemetery with Rev. Andre Crummett officiating. The staff of Obaugh Funeral Home will receive family and friends wishing to pay their respects between 9 a.m. - 7 p.m., Saturday, June 11th at the funeral home.
