GROVER- Mr. Floyd “Skeeter” Wooten, 51, of 2156 Brookfield Dr., the greatest chipper mechanic ever, passed out of this world and into paradise on Apr. 10, 2013, at Kings Mountain Hospice House.  A native of Gaston County, he was the son of the late Sammy and Trilbee Dailey Wooten.  He was most known for his willingness to help others in need.  His spirit and quirkiness will always be remembered in our hearts.  He loved his work and all the tree trimmers he met over the years.  His business, Wooten's Chipper Repair and Sales, will continue to operate with the assistance of his wife, and a close friend.
