He was a big Civil War and history buff. He was very proud of his family history. His grandmother's family was a pioneer of Yarbro.

He would call home and leave a message on the answering machine so that she could hear his voice. He was a good person who had a heart of gold, but was a very private person. He also enjoyed drawing. He loved his wife, daughter, and grandkids more than anything!
