Wallace, 82, of Crossett, passed away on Thursday, May 26, 2021, at the Ashley County Medical Center.  He was born in Warren, Arkansas on October 14, 1938 and was a 1958 graduate of LaPorte High School in Texas.  He was a member of Beech Street Baptist Church and worked for thirty-three years at the Georgia Pacific Plywood plant as a general electrician.
