Carl Finley

Carl Finley, age 86 of Hamilton, passed away at Hospice of Hamilton on Wednesday, August 18, 2021. Carl was born in Hyden, Kentucky on February 11, 1935 to the late George and Lilly (Asher) Finley. On January 6, 1956, he married the love of his life, Betty Irvin in Buchanan, West Virginia. Carl was an over-the-road semi truck driver for over 40 years. Carl drove for Roadway Express and earned multiple safety awards. After his retirement from Roadway Express, he went on to own and operate his own trucks hauling steel. Carl, along with his wife, also drove the church tour bus for the Golden Pikers and youth groups. Together, they were active members of the Princeton Pike Church of God. Carl was an avid car enthusiast that loved hot rods, classics and trucks. He passed that love down to his grandson and great-grandsons. Above all, Carl enjoyed spending time with his family.
