He loved spending time with his family. He also loved to white perch fish and gardening in his garden. He especially loved sharing his vegetables with everyone.

He loved life and enjoyed it to the fullest each and every day. He loved his "grand dogs" George Presley, Lexi and FiFi. He loved the Lord with all of his heart.
