He was an avid dirt track racer, his passion was dirt track cars. He was an excellent mechanic and could fix anything, especially in his younger years. He was a true Alabama fan, Go Roll Tide.! He could outdrink any man in the coffee department and loved a good piece of pie. He was a calm and gentle natured man.  You never heard him raise his voice, although he could give you a look that would kill. Above all he loved his family. To know him was to love him and he will be truly missed.
