He had a love for Nascar, going to many races as well as a love for fishing, going any spare moment that he could with his family. He never met a stranger and had a heart like no one in the world. He had a sarcastic humor that always had you thinking then laughing. He loved Amps, Nos, marvel, contest of champions, his golf cart and playing with his dogs.
