He was a strict but loving father and thus earned the love and respect of his children and nieces. In his younger years he enjoyed bull riding, riding his motorcycle, horseback riding, fishing and especially playing Bluegrass music with his band member and friends. He loved his children and family and very much enjoyed being surrounded by all his family at family gatherings. He will be greatly missed.
